Les Champs des Charmes Fixin Pinot Noir 2020

I cooked a boeuf bourguignon for a work colleague who is from Portugal so I found it relevant to pop a red burgundy delight to go along. This cuvée, which is a single vineyard, is dense, concentrated and shows a bit of oak barrel on the nose, along with minerally touches (silex, gun powder). There is bright fruit notes too, dark cherries, raspberries and even blackberries. This is quite intense. The palate is youthful and intense too, less round and sweet than other cuvées I had from this producer which I called modern Burgundy style of winemaking. This is more classic in style, with some acid drive, some dark cherries, some pepper, some spices. Oak tannins pop up in the rear before a rather long, structured finish with dark berries, that oaky, lightly drying layer. There is some vanilla too at the end. It's a really good burgundy fix, in a more traditional style. Certified organic. — 9 days ago

Barsotti Vineyard Gamay Noir 2020

a dose of mineral, almost konbu-like wash, sea breeze, ash, pith, and beach plum. 48-hrs open. great clarity and snappiness, if a trifle quick on the back end, it’s made up for in prettiness. — 4 years ago

Château Beychevelle

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

Crushed seashell/ocean and pencil on the nose. Very secondary decomposing earthy palate with little fruit beyond blackberry seed. My daughter highlighted Soy Sauce on the nose as well...the padawan learns quick. — 6 years ago

Hatschbourg Alsace Grand Cru Gewürztraminer

Do you know I keep trying it and I’m just not a fan of Gewurztraminer. There’s too much of a perfume flavor to it but it’s sort of reminds me of like chewing those fake fruit gummy‘s. This is delicious, it just sort of gets overwhelming after a while. — 4 years ago

Monts Damnés Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2016

Gorgeous expression of SB, classic site expression with its vibrant array of ripe citrus fruits and densely packed mineral backbone. Just beautiful. Key lime, grapefruit, a slight tropical edge, lemon curd, crushed chalk, aloe, sweet herbs. Went way to quick need to track down another bottle! — 5 years ago
