Brigaldara

Case Vecie Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend 2009

Wine of the night. Big bold and excellent pairing with duck and morels. Nice concentration but balanced with some fruit and not syrupy. Had some lift and life to it without being too dense. Nice finish — 4 months ago

Château Poujeaux

Moulis en Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

The 2019 Poujeaux, tried here for the first time from half bottle, continues the trend of wines that I’ve enjoyed from this vintage – being austere, deep, full bodied and demanding considerable bottle age. With no decant, the wine is almost impenetrable on the nose, offering little other than gravel, singed tobacco, and espresso. Gradually, though, things open up in the glass and after an hour it’s fairly expressive. It remains dark, tannic and laden with coffee, chocolate and steeped black fruit, but doubtless there’s a promising wine somewhere here that’ll likely begin to emerge in five years or so – Poujeaux tends to have a long life, and I’d expect that to be the case here. — 2 months ago

Olga Raffault

Les Picasses Chinon Cabernet Franc 2014

Worth a check in at 10 years. Always an outstanding nose. Needed hours of air and still pretty shy, fruit in particular is closed. Paired with NY strip tonight. Have half a case left of this vintage and will check in again in a couple years. — 7 months ago
