Starts out super aromatic, over the top intensity of stone fruit, white flowers, marble, just a touch of vanilla in the background. On the palate viscosity strikes first, with fruit stepping back, some phenolics bitterness and a mouth-coating finish — 3 years ago

2016 Puligny-Montrachet “Les Charmes”Raymond DuPont-Fahn. We purchased a bottle from Lionel Michilin private cellar. It was part of a private dinner hosted by him. This wine was featured on the menu. We loved it so much with the food they served we bought a case. When it was done with we looked for it on the internet and found this one — 5 years ago

Today we had a vegan Thanksgiving bowl of roasted carrots, acorn squash, brussels sprouts, and broccoli, along with mashed yams, potatoes, toasted pecans, pomegranate, cranberry sauce (with orange zest), and thyme-spiced gravy. 🍁🍁🍁
With it we paired a couple of options each of which went well with the flavors, textures, and elements of the meal… here’s the Syrah…
Lionel Faury, Côte-Rôtie, 2018. ABV 13%. Comprised of 90% Syrah and 10% Viognier, from the Northern Rhône Valley, France. Matured 18 months in oak, 30% of which was new. The oak maturation comes across on the nose and palate with notable vanilla, cedar, butterscotch, and caramel notes. Also notes of blackberry, black cherry, plum, black licorice, violet, pepper, smoke / matchstick, and clay pot. 👌👌 — 3 years ago
Nice bubbles, sweeter than expected. Nice to sip on pre-dinner on a hot day. I think we purchased from Solo Vino on Selby Avenue. — 4 years ago
