Les Plantes Maranges Pinot Noir 2022
First wine back after a nasty flu. Nose is grapey, spicey and very deep. Love the gout de terroir here. Cranberry bog and just ripe blackberries. Really punchy aromas. Palate is juicy and clean but seems closed a bit as the finish is chipped. But very fresh and pure. Let’s see if it fleshes out. Juicy, sapid and nimble with very chalky tannins. Picks up some finesse as it airs but still remains charmingly rustic. — 4 days ago
Cave Sébastien Blachon
Margariat Saint-Joseph Syrah 2022
This is such an utterly brilliant wine. Just beyond. Nose is the most vivid olives and gorgeous blackberry fruit and granite infused love. 9.8 nose. Utterly captivating. Palate is rich and ripe but teeming with granitic energy. Unreal inner mouth olive aromas, and just insanely juicy and painfully concentrated. Unreal length and I only showing 10% of itself and we are at 9.8. I will be back. Wow. Unreal finesse now and length. There is a dark evil to this wine that adds to the overall vibe. Outrageous florals now an hour in. Really meaty element now as well. So supple and silky but firm structure, minerals and granite on the finish. Tannins getting more imposing but ripe and sweet. — 12 days ago

Rossbach Chardonnay 2021
A good showing but not the best. The 22 laps this. Elegant and succulent with grip, depth and structure but seemed a bit thin compared to the 22. @Delectable Wine this is from Germany and not France. It’s from Franken. — a day ago
Domaine Catherine Cuchet-Béliando
Cornas Syrah 2019
WE ARE SO BACK! Best Beliando since 15 and is it better? Maybe! Haunting nose of blackberry and blueberry but so crystallized. Unreal fruit character and depth. Crazy granite. Such a deep nose but 10.0 on the clarity. Gorgeous herbs like lavender, rosemary and thyme and just unreal soft clay is only way I can describe it. Unreal decaying leaves and so much granite. 9.9 nose. Just insane. Palate is massive and initially it’s brutally closed but man what a wine. Powerhouse of a palate with raspberry/blueberry/blackberry crystallized fruit. Big tannins and so primary now but wow this is so so good. Unreal concentration, depth and complexity but showing 5% of itself. 9.6 now but as this wine and frigid night in NYC develop@it will get higher. Getting sappier with air and the fruit is so 19. Decadent yet crystallized. Now some sweet green olive on the nose. Ethereal violets, the level of crystallized, clear fruit on the nose is the most precise ever on any beliando. Nose is 9.9999 now. Huge power, depth and concentration and just outrageously rich, decadent yet energetic black raspberry, with almost a pastille element and just outrageous concentration. The finish just echoes and echoes with that ethereal finesse. This is a benchmark Beliando. 9.6 to 9.8 now. — 4 days ago

GK. Stunning nose of honeyed peaches, melon, wild mint and a hint of petrol. Palate is so rich but super tense from the amazingly bright and vivid acids. Honeyed peaches and melon echo the aromas on the nose with rich layers and an icing on the cake texture. Terrific stuff. So fresh, so juicy and just invigorating. — 5 hours ago
