Domaine du Mas Blanc (Docteur Parcé)

Banyuls Rimage La Coume 2007

[Half bottle] This lovely 17-year-old Banyuls has finally knitted together into a very fine example of Dr. Parce Banyuls (old vine Grenache made in the same way as Port), earlier bottles were terribly disjointed and lacking balance and sweetness). Served with Viennese Sacher Torte my wife made for dessert!

Our first Dr. Parce was the 1967 “Vielles Vignes” which was fantastic and is still my reference point. We had that in 1987 at Pierre Gagnaire’s restaurant in St. Etienne, before he moved on to Paris, his staff was kind enough to comp us a bottle — blind — while my brother and I embarrassed ourselves trying to identify the wine!! That bottle was tried with Pierre’s famous “chocolate soup” dessert, the recipe for which was in Patricia Wells’ “Food and Wine Lovers of France” book from the mid-1980s — memorable combination!!!

Zephyr Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2019

No excuses here, just thirst quenching and pure Marlborough New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc at its finest. This colors within the lines of refinement while still pumping tropical citrus, grapefruit and weedy herbs to the Max. Lots of acidity maintains freshness while this comes across as dry and remarkably fresh. Well Done. — 5 years ago

Baker Ranch Anderson Valley Syrah 2016

12.4%. On the lighter side. Still fresh. Nice wine but maybe this vineyard isn’t really a killer. Possibly the first syrah I’ve had from AV?? I’ve had several of Wells Guthrie’s other 2016 Syrahs and they’re all great. This one didn’t knock me out. — a year ago
