The Reserve To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2001
2001 vintage. Excellent fill. Used a Durand. Cork perfect. Decanted with expected sed and tasted after 2 hours. Medium body but dark as a closed closet. Dirty graphite nose that rang true in the flavors with some restrained plum, cherry and Valrhona chocolate as the backing, rhythm section. Miles to go before it sleeps. Pretty close to the top of the bell curve now. Wow. 10.17.25. — 2 months ago
Had this awhile ago but didn’t post, won a 2 bottle lot on auction. Great bottles

Nicely developing sous bois, this has softened and much into the savory side — 8 days ago
Had the 2010 yesterday. That vintage was across the board poor. I don’t trust this producer right now.

@Doug Powers - Are you having issues, as I am, having notes uploaded to the general feed?
@Tom Casagrande, yes I am, for the last few weeks when I post a wine, it seems like it doesn’t show up until the next day in my feed, even though it’s in my account (so to speak)??
Yeah everything is screwy.

The Hébrart domaine is located right on the Marne, in the village of Aÿ, catty-corner to Philipponnat. Their 1er cru Rosé, NV is a 60/40 mix of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, aged in INOX (with a small portion of the PN added as vin rouge aged in barrique). What’s most important, is that it’s delicious.
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The wine pours a very pretty pink color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe strawberry, raspberry, lemon, pink flowers, marzipan and limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ with a lovely, creamy texture. Serious enough for the nerds; seriously gluggable for the revelers. Disgorged April of 2023. Drink now. — 10 days ago
