2024 Thanksgiving dinner with dad and Linda. A very good Malbec with deep rick flavor. — 3 months ago
Orange blossom and the slightest touch of residual sugar to balance out the razor sharp acidity (and balance out my spicy Thai food). This is a light wine but I can almost taste the slate soils and steep slopes.
Whole-cluster grapes and spontaneous fermentations
From Importer:
Appellation: Saar

vineyard work: All vineyard work is done by hand due to the incline of the vineyards. Absolutely no use of insecticides/pesticides or
fertilizers; the work is completely organic but not certified as such because Florian refuses to spray copper on the vines. — 6 months ago
(Two previous 1983 wine reviews never made it on here, so copying from my CT).
Continuing a run of ‘83s over the last 3-6 months, this not only showed quite well, but it was at its best after almost two hours in the bottle. Whereas the ‘83 Pichon was clean and elegant, this was a bit more dense and powerful. Beautifully expressive aromatics of potpourri, espresso, fig and leather with a flavor profile mostly on the red/black fruit side of the spectrum. The mid-palate showed good weight and continued to bulk-up during the evening. Old cherry-tobacco note at the finish. Honestly, this drank like it was more early ‘90s than it was early ‘80s. Good. — 6 days ago

Light yellow in color.
Strong nose of citrus, lemons, apples and minerals.
Medium bodied with medium acidity and medium sized bubbles.
Dry on the palate with lemons, green apples, limes, spices, light yeast and minerals.
This 14 year old Vintage Champagne is showing nice complexity and mouthfeel.
Feels young, especially on the nose. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years, and see how it evolves.
A blend of equivalent portions of 6 grapes including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Blanc. Disgorged in February 2022.
12% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
