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. — 4 months ago

Mild mild aroma of citrus and green apples. Green apple citrus tartness in the middle then a quick finish. — 4 years ago

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. — 5 years ago

The Big Boy!!!! 15.7% abv. 2016 Mercury Head Cabernet Sauvignon stored for 6 years at 50 degrees in my wine cellar. Decanted for 45 minutes.:
The color is dark but not opaque. Legs are very slow and thick. The bouquet on this is fantastic! I smell Blackberry rhubarb pie fresh out of the oven. As my nose starts to tingle as my taste kicks in before even putting it to my lips. With the first sip, my palate is suddenly bombarded with fresh black berries and dark currant! There is a hint of black licorice. On the second sip, I can start to taste hints of black cherry and black pepper. Then there is a sudden development of white oak and graphite. After another sip and letting it settle with more aeration on my tongue, a quick swallow, and SHAZAM! A Velvety smooth, buttery delicious moderately dry beautiful cabernet Finish. My senses are aching for more!!!!! — 4 years ago

Rich, intense and mineral. Still overly oaked but gave the perception that it can really get integrated fairly quick. — a year ago

Lovely light red fruits and good acid, but ultimately not that interesting or complex. Maybe would have been better with some air time as this was a quick pop and pour — 4 years ago

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
