Beaux Frères

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2022

This medium bodied Oregon Pinot displays a range of aromatic flavors and notes. In addition to raspberries there are underlying notes of mushroom and leather.
Excellent pairing with aged Ribeye Steak and family.

Les Bessards Hermitage Syrah 2010

Not what I expected i assumed elegance and was surprised that it was so full of fruit at this age. Another 5 yrs would help but right now it so pleasurable. — 2 months ago

Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils

Réserve des Deux Frères Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2000

Decanted for about 2-3 hours before serving. Incredible nose and flavor profile. Very gamey. Lots of stewed fruit. Little medicinal. But came through and paired exceedingly well with lamb kebabs.

Had a little funk as it aired out but really sang at hour 4-5. Good grip. Will be excited to open the next one

Huré Frères

Invitation Brut Champagne Blend

Lyle Fass
9.2

2018 base. 4 grams dosage and disgorged 4/22. Nose is all wet earth and yeast. Lemon peel, toast, citrus (tangelo?) skin as well. Really nice, layered and complex aromas. Lonely, mineral and tree bark aromas as well. Palate is juicy and clean with explosive lemon and grapefruit citrus fruit and terrific purity and freshness. Good sap and very clean. Needs air as I reckon this has more to tell. Nose gets some saline as well with air and the palate becomes juicier. It’s very good but so far not special. Really has good palate presence. — 2 months ago
