Château Thivin

Côte de Brouilly Gamay 2019

I had with Passover meal. I have always found to be closed & more ‘ dumb’ in its infancy- almost like Olga Raffault chinon. Yet all the juicy & rewarding red fruit is there. Kermit importer. — 3 years ago

Domaine du Colombier (Jouvault)

Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Chinon Cabernet Franc 2021

May not have the character of say a Baudry or Raffault Chinon, but still a profoundly true-to-terroir Chinon with all that fine grained dark berry earthiness, low on the funko-meter, & just plain ol’ low alcohol fun. Paired with brunch cheesy egg casserole of Gruyère, nutmeg, Parmesan etc that soaks overnight in Half & Half. — 6 months ago

Tenuta Friggiali

Donna Olga Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2007

One of the more impressive Brunellos of this era I’ve had recently. Surprised. Fruit, tannins, and structure still going very strong with several years left at least. — 4 years ago

Chinon Cabernet Franc Rosé 2023

Orange blossom half and half sipped out of a cantaloupe soaked in the Atlantic. Also those orange circus peanut candies you find at rural gas stations. I know this note sounds terrible but it’s just because I’m a poor writer, the wine is actually quite good as per usual. — 2 months ago

Château La Mission Haut-Brion

La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 1996

Strong, classic Graves Bordeaux. The cab franc was certainly present on the nose, perhaps because this was the sipping wine next to a 2009 Olga Raffault Chinon. Still good presence of darker fruits, with leather, earth and cedar. Nice mouthfeel. — 3 years ago
