Château Bouscassé (Alain Brumont)

Vieilles Vignes Madiran Tannat 1990

Rich dark and red fruits, still some evident firm, tannic structure (but I guess cellaring Madiran is like cellaring Dunn Howell Mountain, as life may not be long enough for them to shed their tannins? LOL), long, lingering firm finish, really quite fine!! — 3 years ago

I love that stubborness - it will not go away, I presume.

Fattoria dei Barbi (Colombini)

Vigna del Fiore Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Sangiovese 2006

A mature and peaking brunello. The tannins are fully integrated but the wine still has a nice structure but for not too long i think. Lots of herbs, leather, some tomato with reddish fruit...sometimes no choice but to open a nice italian when eating home made lasagna...if someone has found a good combo with a burgundy i am all ears lol... — 5 years ago

Côte Rôtie Syrah 2021

This is the standard Côte Rôtie from Agnes Levet that’s a blend of different parcels. However, the philosophy and approach remain the same as “La Chavaroche” and “Les Journaries”. In the past, this bottling was known as “Améthyste” and only recently became more widely available in the US. “Widely” is a relative word, lol.

Opened about an hour prior to service. The 2021 pours a deep garnet/purple with a transparent core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with a gorgeous bouquet all of the different varieties and colors of brambles your heart could possibly desire along with all of the seeds and stems, freshly cracked black pepper, dried herbs, some of the animale, purple flowers some hints of old wood and yes, perhaps a kiss of brettanomyces. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is forever long, drying and loaded with even more black pepper. This is giving me total 2014 vibes and if you liked that vintage in the Northern Rhône (as I did), you’re gonna absolutely love this. Drink now through 2036.

Excellent review. Thanks. I can’t however comprehend the term ”standard” for C-Rs, as the few (roughly a dozen) I’ve tried have been amazing.

@Martin Bergo I would never want to suggest “standard” to mean anything less than special though, merely stating such suggests there is something “non-standard” available, so I do get your point.

This is a Harrington joint (rip). Still odd, and still very interesting. Blend of Malvasia, Greco do Tufo, and Moscato. Has an almost menthol nose and is slightly effervescent. For you natural wine people out there lol — 5 years ago
