This really took time to come alive. Started simple and short but developed significant body, structure and spicy/savoury grip with air. Too young and lacking a bit of mid palate weight, but decent. Not great p/q — a year ago

N: smashed strawberries, tobacco, licorice, mascarello cherries, dirt,
P: Nice tannic grip, Black cherries, lots of earth, a buoyant frame, definitely concrete and old fourdes. I’m so glad to have found this. As Louis/Dressner says, if you know all the grapes they grow, you’re probably a master of wine. — 2 years ago

2nd wine with creamy garlic shrimp. This also showed very well. It was slightly more opulent than the 2014 Louis Michel 1er Monte de Tonnere, but similar. — 3 years ago

Pale-med lemon. Really opened up with air. Some sweet citrus, and candied caramel on the nose. Med body, med intensity, a bit of cream, and strong vanilla and caramel notes from the oak. Decent but not great p/q — a year ago

2019 vintage. Excellent white Burgundy value with both splendid body and acidity. Don’t be afraid to plunge into the unfamiliarity of Pernand-Vergelesses now. With white Burg prices escalating as they have been, P-V will be priced at Chassagne/Puligny/Meursault levels soon enuff. Get in and get familiar now. — 2 years ago

Just as good, if not better, than the last time we opened one of these. A gift from Alex’s godparents the Larsens. Signed by Louis P. Martini in 1993. — 3 years ago

Jadot Pouilly-Fuisse with the volume cranked up a bit. Opened the night before but showed better the second night with both a citrus salmon and a tomato risotto. Right where you’d expect it to be somewhere in between the village P-F and some of their other 1er Cru whites — a year ago

Infanticide!
But…there it was. It sang it’s siren song.
N: Big , beefy, dirty red beet, musky black cherries. Smoke and tar.
P: Black cherries, blood, iron, earth, dirt,
It’s said the Coté du Py Gamay vines are 100 years +. It shows. A knockout structured Beaujolais that’s always a fave. Delicious, if I was 40, I’d make plans to stash some away for 20 years.
A bit saved, day two, blacker and more tannic.
To quote Romain..” I love it.”!!!
