Hubert Bouzereau-Gruère et Filles

Puligny-Montrachet Chardonnay 2018

The smoke hasn’t cleared on this battle worn soldier. Really strong sense of gun powder! Volatilize, and peeks of lime pith or lemon verbena squeeze through the cracks like light in your lashes, revealing pepper and pecan shell, black mushroom spores and elm, with cigar sweetness and black lime on a smoky battlefield. Palate is lime pith and zest and oil and candied lime sparkles floating down a lemon juice river, with thick, thick lemon pith banks. Kind of a gangly age here, but showing depth and intensity. Need to see this one when it matures, sculpted like an Olympian.

Clos La Madeleine

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Loveliest of mushroom-violet, saddle leather and fresh wool, dark legume, black olive, cool licorice notes and lavender. A graphite tip made of concentrated grape; a fig parchment carefully folded over smoke. Outstanding nose.
Tobacco flaking blackly over licks of flame, chicory, black licorice, cloves and black olives dance and darken to blackberry, charred elm and black pastry. Biomass folding in crystalline-spiked, smoky, charred cedar. Burnt cinnamon and peek-a-boo plum. Loamy and dense earth that encapsulates. Great wine to grow on!

Brauerei Zwönitz

Zwönitzer Steinbier

Red amber glow inside mahogany. Off-white balsa crown of finest bubbles. Active, glistening, living bubbles shimmer-lacing. Planktonesque mesa-motif replete with angular minutiae bordering crystal frost. Cherry notes, hot dog bun, stony dust suggestions, Spanish moss on elm for the nostrils. Expectedly active mouthfeel shows less cherry, cola, cinnamon stick, dark flaky croissant, pepper, savory, and the slightest sarsaparilla and nutmeg if you can imagine a smooth assimilation of all of them, without any awkward protrusions, which means the loudest spices are all in check.

Kenwood Vineyards

Mendocino/ Sonoma County Merlot 2018

This actually the Merlot version of the wine. Looks nice in the glass. Garnett. Smell of smoke and meats. Maybe chicken apple sausage. Also some slippery elm or licorice fern. Flavor is nice. Woodsy, complex with a streak of minerality. Nice balance with bite and grip. This is right in the pocket. Well constructed CA Merlot. — 4 years ago
