Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

We were with friends who brought the bottle to a pic nic. Serious stuff. Did not took notes but great balance and complexity, accessible. Excellent and very balanced bottle. — 4 years ago

Wild Yeast Margaret River Chardonnay 2015

Pale to mid Lemon in colour. Barrel ferment characters, leesy funky, touches of butterscotch and stone fruit. Went through malolactic. Some would say “worked”. Needless to say a lot of good winemaking on show here. Palate is more citrussy than stone fruit with a balanced creaminess very persistent flavours. A lovely and well made Chardonnay by Nic Peterkin. His dad founded Pierro who make one of the best Chardonnays in Margaret River and therefore Australia. His mother, Shelley, is the daughter of Di and Kevin Cullen ie. Margaret River royalty. Only 200 cases made. — 6 years ago

@Bob McDonald Based on your previous note in 2017 it sounds like this has improved with age, that’s great.

Yes. I noticed that myself. It’s great when that happens. Sometimes it goes the other way and better off drinking younger.

Babylone Saint-Joseph Syrah 2019

LQV w Nic and Brian.

A bit simple and jammy, the 2015 Saint Joseph Babylone features aromas and flavors of cherry preserves. It's medium to full-bodied, with some slightly green, stemmy notes on the silky finish. RP89, 2015

Bright, vivid blackberry fruit with lots of concentration yet quite light body. Slight bitterness to finish. (RH) JR16.5, 2017

Les Varrons Chardonnay 2006

LQV w Nic and Brian.

Chardonnay. Light straw and varnish on the nose. Sweet start and refined, very deep-flavoured wine. Very subtle with the majesty found in the contained, dry finish of old-fashioned burgundy. Worth a look! Real quality. Set up on his own, lower yields. JR17, 2007

Tenuta Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Vermentino 2019

Ordered this expecting Pinot Grigio. Tastes good but more full bodied. Nic tart fruit not sweet. Very interesting because I was expecting crisp and light. But it’s more full bodied and not light abs refreshing. I do like. — 5 years ago

アプリコット、洋梨、甘い香りと、ちょっと酵母感のある香り。初めは少し微発泡して、ちょっと還元気味だけど、少し時間が経つといずれも解消。
初日はしっかりした果実味。上品な甘さなので、そんなに嫌味はない。そして、旨味。

Domaine Francois Lamarche

Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir

Still young and powerful. A bit overkill in a papercup for the pic-nic #8-D. Italian ham and french cheese helped out a bit... Memorable moment ! — 9 years ago
