Charly Thevenet

Grain & Granit Régnié Gamay 2027

Good. Wants some air. Not as much concentration as I’ve been used to for a Beauj of this price point from Morgon, but the other thevenet wine we had was from morgon and was a lot lighter than anticipated so maybe it’s a winemaker style? Lots of raspberries and this interesting briar note on the end, the back end doesn’t have as much going on but… I did have the majority of the bottle without letting it air out a bit. Wife wants to do a side by side with their morgon to compare the stemmyness. Worth a check definitely, makes me want to try more regnie but also solidified my adoration for morgon. But the more this airs the better it gets. Will have to revisit. — a year ago

"Suerte" Solomon Hills Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015

A new height for Lato, beguiling nose of briar and sour cherry full of stems. Layered and interesting, black tea, strawberry jam. Less acidity than expected but enough for food. Long finish, awesome with Nobu’s best stuff from sashimi to Wagyu. — 6 years ago

Treinspoor Swartland Tinta Barocca 2019

Delectable Wine
9.3

The 2019 Treinspoor, 80% whole-cluster Tinta Barocca matured in old foudre, presents a crisp, well-defined bouquet of blackberry, briar and wild fennel scents, gaining intensity all the time in the glass. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Taut and crisp, almost pixelated in style, leading to a sensual, mulberry-tinged finish. Very elegant and refined.
