Crisp yet earthy, a great summer red wine — 2 months ago
Opened about 8 hours prior to service and Audouze’d. The 1989 pours a deep garnet color with a transparent core and a slightly watery rim; medium viscosity and light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and desiccated black and red fruits: brambles, poblano pepper, smoked and candied pork belly, leather, mint, damp decomposing earth, gentle spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and still pretty grippy. What’s wild is how relatively “modern” this wine comes across; especially considering the more humble Côtes de Bourg appellation. Drink now. — 3 months ago
Deep golden in color. Honey, lavender, lemonade, cooked apple, quince, and minerals. High acid, semi-dry with chewy residual sugar, medium body, medium alcohol, and long finish. Beautiful match for shell fish. — 2 months ago
A bit hot. Some herbs, stewed cherry. — 6 months ago

Pastille & pennies. It takes a true bad ass to make just one single wine vintage after vintage. Respect. — a month ago
