Domaine Michel Lafarge

Beaune-Grèves 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2015

PJW #6 - Totally classic burgundy, redolent fruit (cherries) yet soft tannins, minimal acidity, on the lighter side, long beautiful finish, excellent. Lean more toward pork/poultry with this one — 10 months ago

Montsant Braó Vinyes Velles Grenache Blend 2017

Catalan wine tasting #6
Jammy, rich, sweet & spicy.
This is full-on with black fruit galore, nicely integrated wood,
On the palate this is rich, liqueur-ishc yet there’s bright acidity cutting through, brining freshness & drinkability.
Very light on the tannins, big on the fruity wham.
Surprisingly evolved for 5y.

9.0

Switching gears and changing lanes. New bathroom done!
We are a touch surprised by this example.. Vegetal notes on the nose transition to the palate. Nice weight and texture on the mid-palate, with perfect acidity. Notes of coffee, autumn leaves and brown sugar, but not sweet on the finish. Slight meaty note completes a good but not great example.
Day 2. Revising my score downwards.

This is the co-ferment #6. 50% apples with Cabernet Franc and Merlot skins. Forest berries with a good dose of earth and kiss of brett. Honestly drinks like Lambrusco Grasparossa. Super small batch. Organic. — a year ago

Castello di Ama

San Lorenzo Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Sangiovese Blend 2010

Made detailed notes and then lost them....must be an over 70’s thing. This wine was #6 in the 2014 Wine Spectator Top 100. Not your typical Chianti Classico with a small 7% of Merlot and 10% Malvasia Nera with small oak maturation. The first of 5. Some cherry/ red fruited notes. Savoury dry tannins. I prefer the more traditional style of CC. — 3 years ago

Domaine de Chevillard

Savoie Mondeuse 2018

#6 of Jura Savoie evening
Dark & broody with dark berry fruit (blackberry, mulberry) with some earthy notes and a healthy dose of graphite. Very Gamay, Morton, Brouilly style.
On the palate this has a a firm tannic frame, yet with juicy tannins and good dark plum & mulberry fruit. Nice acidity freshness and a mineral, fresh note.
Needs at least 2h decanting but then is so drinkable. A lovely wine!

"Little Wine" #6 Syrah

See previous notes for Little Wine #6. In summary very dark Ruby with purple tinges. Opaque. Luscious mouth filling Shiraz - the old vine source is obvious - soft, plush and plummy. A blend of 2016, 2015, 2013 and 2012 - all good vintages. I took delivery of my allocation of Little Wine #10 recently. 36 weeks later I had my last bottle of Little Wine No. 6 with consistent notes on 9th February 2022. Amazing value for $31 back in the day. — 5 years ago

I believe so. One of his best from the excellent 2012 vintage - the label showed a collection of vintage match boxes from Frasers grandmother as I understand it. I have notes here on Delectable showing that label.

It’s called Baby Tui from 2012. I did a tasting note 51 weeks ago. They are all good but this one was special. Luckily I have one left.

Castello di Ama

Vigneto San Lorenzo Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2010

#6 in Wine Spectators Top 100 for 2014. See previous note. The aromatics of vanilla oak in its youth have mitigated and the whole wine is much more balanced. A deep rich red. Aromas of red and black cherry and a little dried orange peel. Medium bodied palate - very Chianti Classico from a good vintage. It will continue to improve through this decade to 2030. It needed 13 years for everything to come together. Luckily I have a few left. — 3 years ago
