Claude Dugat

Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2000

There’s something slightly off with this. Not cork, maybe Brett? A certain tiger to the nose and Adour hard not toward the end of the mid palate. Far from enough to make this unsinkable but I suspect not a fully correct bottle. That aside very dark, brooding fruit. Some sour cherry and iron, bitter dark chocolate. Maybe the wine’s like that... hard to tell — 6 years ago

The Rare Barrel

Sourtooth Tiger Golden Sour Beer 2016

This did not age well for me. A 2016 opened in 2019. Insanely sour. Definitely ginger but it became a little much on both fronts for me. I’d be interested to try again at the brewery if when they have vintage pours. — 7 years ago

Château Larrivet Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

Celebrated the Tiger Masters wine and opening night of game of thrones. On the nose I thought this might be overpowering, but on the palate this was elegant and had a lot of finesse. Violets, currant, and graphite. Drinking really well right now. — 7 years ago

Sixpoint Brewery

Bengali Tiger IPA

I remember this IPA as being one of the first super hoppy American beers I tried upon moving to this fine country in 2010. It was floral, bitter and unlike anything I'd had. Since then it's become an occasional go to. Good stuff and always happy to taste. — 8 years ago

Domaine Roulot

Les Tessons Clos de Mon Plaisir Meursault Chardonnay 2013

Amazing what a decant can do sometimes. Typically my favorite Roulot Lieux-dit that often easily performs at 1er cru level, 2013 Tessons begins a bit flabby and exotic tonight, showing more of the vintage than I’d like. But with aeration it gains focus and energy and really comes together beautifully taming its ripeness with layered minerality and just enough acidity driving all of its flavors home. Great turnaround. — 3 years ago

The Ojai Vineyard

Bien Nacido Vineyard Chardonnay 2021

Santa Barbera Chardonnay is really becoming a favourite of mine. The Pinot from SB seems to get all the attention here in Sweden but the Chardonnay is outperforming the Pinot by a mile. Very bright and well balanced. Seashell, pear, honey, hezelnuts, jasmin, tiger balm. — 3 years ago

Being an easily accessible SB in Sweden I must say I enjoy all their wines a lot, but I agree with your assessment on the Chdy.

Oh this is a California plus plus. Like the ripeness and go get them TIGER-ness of this says California. BUT with a touch of dahhhhhling I do not give an f this is what I want...which is to say this is new world vibrancy with old world attitude. Acid high, fruit ripe (melon apple tropical) and so on. Also just...stellar I need to taste more Lieu Dit — 7 years ago

Heck yes. I distribute them here in Texas and they don’t make a bad bottle. Track down the cab franc and the melon de bourgogne.. you’ll think you’re in the Loire.

Galil Mountain Winery

Yiron Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2014

This wine features 56% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, 32% Merlot, 7% Syrah and 5% Petit Verdot. Winemaker Micha Vaadia aged it for 16 months in French oak barrels. At 15% abv, it’s wise to keep an eye on uncle Julius if he’s driving.

This dark wine has aromas of cassis with a savory backbeat. Anise and leather join the fruit on the nose. The sip offers a tasty expression of the grapes involved, with an earthy element that's not quite pencil shavings and not quite olives, but close on both counts. The tannins are a bit toothy, but that brisket probably needs a good taming.
