My Pretty Pinot

Marcassin

Marcassin Vineyard Pinot Noir

Sublime. One of the most delicious wines I’ve had in years. Silky and perfumed, earthy and fruity; California power melded with Old World sophistication. Enjoyed the 2007 vintage with my wife Dreama at kaiseki temple Hayato in LA, part of my ongoing days long birthday celebration. A privilege and a pleasure. — 2 months ago

Liaison Pinot Noir 2021

9.2

Gorgeously floral nose. Unreal mid season cherries with such lift and clarity. Wow. So clean. Gorgeous spices as well. Palate is juicy and clean. Sappy, pure and clean. Just a great and classic bottle of Liaison. Wispy tannins. Excited to see how this develops. After 24 hours nose is so deep and has great roses and violets. High toned mid season cherry. Really pretty. Terrific spice and only a tiny VA that just adds and does subtract. Palate is juicy and lean. Clean and classic. So linear and clear. Such great mid season cherry fruit. Nimble and not as powerful as recent vintages. — 2 months ago

Sir Winston Churchill Brut Champagne 1996

Great stuff. From mag. Loads of secondary notes. Brioche, dried apricot, a lift of lemon. Lovely freshness and acidity still. Really complex, nutty and vigorous. At a perfect point for my palate and consistently one of the great 96’s — 2 months ago

Grands Échézeaux Pinot Noir 2018

To celebrate my 9,000 reviews on vivino, here is a beautiful Pinot Noir.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Strong fruity nose with bing cherries, raspberries, sweet strawberries, spices, oak, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, earth and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry and fruity on the palate with blueberries, black cherries, light earth, herbs, spices, vanilla, cedar, black pepper, light cola, dark coffee and licorice. black pepper.

Medium plus in finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This Pinot Noir from Burgundy is already drinking very nicely, but still extremely young. Well balanced and smooth with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

I had it blind right out of the bottle. That was a nice surprise. I called 2018 Burgundy Pinot Noir, but I did not see this kind of bottle coming... What a great experience to blind taste such an iconic wine.

There is always an aura when drinking these kind of wines, but drinking them blind, gives you a perspective that might be missed otherwise.

Needed 2 hours in the decanter to open up properly, and bring more complexity. Much better once it opens up.

Robert Parker 94 points.

I had an older vintage of this wine a year ago, and it is such a different wine. Will continue to age nicely in the next 30 to 40 years.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$2,500.

La Tâche Pinot Noir 1978

This is sooo pretty. Light pink in color, the nose is so seductive. Pretty floral notes, cherry, dried flowers. Wildly complex and intense on the nose but so light and ethereal. The palate is lifted and pretty with raspberry, delicate spice and classic vosne flavors. This wine is so poised and pretty and ready to drink. Light but powerful. Fantastic — 2 months ago

La Closerie Les Béguines Extra Brut Champagne Pinot Meunier 2019

Opened for my baby boy’s first birthday. I don’t think I need to sing any more praises for the LC19. Beautiful, just beautiful. Notes are pretty much the same as before. Notably, it’s tighter than the LC20, which was also popped for the party. — 4 months ago

Brut Rosé Champagne Blend

Actually the 21st Edition of the Brut Rose. Colour of Rose Gold like a high quality watch - copper, brass notes in the decadent colour. Aromatics of red currant, pink grapefruit and a hint of honey. An ultra fine mousse always found in prestige Champagne. The palate is all about Intensity showing the red fruits, spice and general influence of high quality Pinot Fruit. Much of this edition is based on the excellent 2008 vintage. A memorable Rose Champagne as expected - matched with Danish mussels Georgie brought from Copenhagen for my 71st Birthday - happy days. — 5 months ago

Thanks David. I agree - new editions are too expensive these days. A privilege to taste this one.
