This is a different animal! Smouldering smokey nose with light ripe fruit. Woody and complex. Changing with every sip and just got better and better. Loved this wine. Major recommendation! — 3 years ago

Cahors Malbec 2020

Lyle Fass
9.3

Love this wine but I will admit 2020 is not as strong as other vintages. Nose is lovely with violets, dark cranberries, berry fruit and lots of smoke and minerals. Palate is lush but also had a major mineral spines Good freshness and purity but the heat of 2020 is showing in that it’s not hot but it’s also not as focused as it could be. Maybe air will help.

DAY 3 update: Wow did this need air. Gorgeous purity and freshness and stunning minerality. 9.1 to 9.3. — 2 days ago

When one considers the quality of the 2020 vintage in Bordeaux, it doesn’t seem like a stretch that Cahors would be strong as well. That being said, the former need a lot of time because many are all knees and elbows

@Jay Kline updated my note and score as it is soaring on day 3. It was so wound up day 1.

@Lyle Fass This tracks. I feel like they are almost painfully primary when young. They need air like BAMA even though they are very different

Côte du Py Morgon Gamay 2019

Marty Mathis
9.5

2019 Cote du Py By far the best Gamay Noir I have tasted in several years. Such a precise expression of Morgon. This aroma shows the perfect combination of deep and inviting cherry plum fruitiness along with the slightest brush pepperiness and subtle meaty/earthy hints. There is no funky Brett in this wine that I can find. Not squeaky clean commercial either. There is no mistaking the pedigree of this vineyard site as well as the deft hand of this legendary producer. The texture is pure pleasure, almost nil tannins (The way I like it), and major length. Woody, brushy (rotundones) are combined with perfectly ripe tree fruit and alluring minerality . For anyone confused about the distinction between Burgundy and Beaujolais this should stand as a model example. Bravo bravo bravo!!! — 3 years ago
