An exception to my recent string of not ready for prime time/drinking Morgons. This has enough soul & snap on opening but also can go much much longer. Not exorbitant either, for under 25$ on sale — 4 days ago

.375ml bottle. Might have got swamped by several previous bottles, including an aged spatlese, making it taste more simple than it really is. Has laser intensity to its goldenrod, marigold Apple & crème brûlée palate. Under 20$ too. — 11 days ago

(While the pic is of this makers Chard review is for the Blaufrankish); Probably the darkest & most savory expression of Blaufrankish I’ve ever tried, & it works: black cherry & kirsch color, dense; on nose pretty open knit raspberry & black currants; the blacks currants, raspberry, & also kirsch/ beet notes on palate, with a pleasant chewy texture. For 24$ on sale a whole lotta wine, imagine the relatively long aging prerelease- over 3 years in amphorae etc -probably helped. — 18 days ago

Rather firm & with more acidic cut than usual in Lambrusco, & so even more a declaration for food. — 4 days ago

Truly in its perfect drinking window. Savory deep, fruited and long expression of Cabernet Franc. Black cherries, raspberry coulis, & a damp, earthy backdrop. — 9 days ago

Opener pre meal. Maybe the beginning of a love affair: only the 3rd Timorasso I’ve tried; waxy white fruits, mildly floral on nose, a bit of that wooly thing reminiscent of Chenin Blanc; also, similar texture. Moderate acidity. Delicious stuff that suits strong smelly cheese & charcuterie. — 11 days ago

No notes. Silky white flower palate, medium bodied, mineral core. Saludos Armenia!! Paired beautifully with spicy white bean stew with Harissa & jalepeno. Was inspired after watching Somm 4, which documents an Armenian iconoclast fighting the odds to revive his native wine culture. — 7 days ago

Shared w friends & paired with strong, savory & spicy Jollof rice, braised chicken in coconut milk. Gorgeous copper orange tints; on nose tangerine & pomelo pith, heart of palm with those citrus notes carried into palate; sweet almond paste; silky, enveloping texture too, which makes pairing w spicy food so natural. Just a lovely drinking experience of a 33yro Spätlese — 11 days ago

No notes but a serious & price-easy baby Barolo. Dig its ‘rusticity’. — 18 days ago
