Vieilles Vignes Corcelette Morgon Gamay 2014

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours and alongside Foillard’s “Corcelette” from 2022. The 2014 “Corcelette” from Daniel Boulard pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate stain of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of wild strawberry, pine forest, Juniper berries, forest floor, hot asphalt, sage, leather, and rounded off by the smell of an old, cracked bar of Irish Spring soap from a basement shower. On the palate the wine is bone dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes on the nose. The finishes long and gorgeous. Rustic but beautiful and a brutally honest wine. Wow. Drink now through 2034. — a month ago

Les Lys Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2009

Lemon, white peach, and French oak on the nose. More lemon and tart stone fruit on the palate along with oak, white pepper, and minerals. Medium alcohol, medium body, high acid, and a medium plus finish. — 3 months ago

Domaine du Vieux Chateau Vaillon Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2009

On the tail end of its prime window, but still hitting. Like a mealy yellow apple, not quite browned. Has cider notes but plenty of acid in the mouth for vibrancy. Laser lemon cleaner with toasted oak becomes candied kumquat and sweet clementine.

Theres a lot of beautiful weight and texture and raw power that comes out to play as you let it warm.

J. Daniel Cuvée Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Pop and pour. A majestic magenta color with bricking. On the nose: port type nose with dark fruit, musky earth, worn leather, black olives, and minty menthol. Taste: blackberry, woodsy, smoke, graphite, dark chocolate, and a peppery astringent tar medium plus finish. Not the best showing of aged Cali cab, and don't think it will improve, so drink em if you got em. Still enjoyed it tonight. — 2 months ago

x Surprised too. Still has fruit, but a bit harsh. Though no decant and did not sit with it long. Cheers!

Côte de Léchet Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2021

Delicious #chablispremiercru - likely built for the long haul but drinks splendidly young as well. Taut tartness up front on the palate, lemon layered on top of wet stone. Yum! — 12 days ago
