Cuvée des Generations Gaston Philippe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2012

A legacy CdP from the collection. Haven’t had in many years - with the age it’s certainly nice. Though, quite full bodied and somehow still somewhat austere, and with not enough acid to really keep it all refined. Nice enough with skirt steak on the grill. — 8 months ago

Martigné-Briand

Les Onglés White Blend 2017

Interesting chenin- or perhaps a Chenin / sauvignon blanc blend - while at noble rot in London, a place I’ve wanted to try forever. Grapefruit, good acid, nice texture, long finish, quite fresh. — 2 years ago

Château Musar

Gaston Hochar Grand Cru Red Blend 2013

Unctuous red and black fruits, tea, cocoa, earth, strong but integrated tannins adding a solid structure and heft. Absolutely delicious. Needed a good two hours to get booming but super. — a month ago

Blanc de Blancs d'Aÿ Grand Cru Brut Champagne

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The BdB d’Aÿ GC pours a straw color with medium viscosity and a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with ripe orchard fruits and autolytic notes: apple, peach, lemon curd, lightly toasted brioche, nuts and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, creamy and toasty. Rich and decadent. Drink now. Disgorged March 2022. — a month ago

Brut Rosé Sparkling Wine

The Blanc de Blancs is one of my go-tos, so had to try the rosé. Nice! Subtle berry notes. — a year ago
