Cuvée "Le Jaja" Chignin Jacquère 2022
Muscadet of the Alps! Nose is wet hay, wild flowers, minerals, some underarm and more. So complex and expressive. Palate is super juicy and has huge acid and energy but also a pillowy texture and terrific fruit intensity. Long and so pretty. Let’s see what air does. This has gained lovely richness with air. Still a 9.3 but love that contrast with the acids. Also killer finesse. Close to a 9.4. — 8 months ago

Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits Pinot Noir 1993
We drank the 1993 (the year we were married) for Valentine’s Day. it was amazing. The fruit and acidity were still there but surrounded by the earthiness you only get with a burgundy. This was my last and I am sad because it still has years to go — 9 months ago

Les Peyrouses Côtes du Rhône AOC Red Rhone Blend 2010
Great nose and showing signs of maturity. Lurid aromas of red berry fruit, smoked meat, granite, herbs and smoke. Really gorgeous nose. Unreal terroir expression and so so vivid. Brilliant. 9.7 nose. Palate is ripe and juicy with terrific freshness and purity and all red fruits. Maybe a hint of cassis. Such freshness and energy here. Long finish. — 4 months ago

Oh what a winner!
Fine & elegant and with such enticing aromatics. The nose just pulls you in with ripe damson plums, some dark cherry, dark dry earth, just a hint of cedar wood but there’s also a ripe, juicy exotic note of ripe mango. Fresh, vibrant and rich at the same time. Seductive!
Very polished on the palate. Smooth, velvety juicy tannins, so finely grained, beautifully balanced and with nice depth & length. Juicy, fresh, very elegant a yet so drinkable!
Nothing profound and yet - a textbook Bordeaux Merlot that you always hope for.
