#1 of Jura Savoie evening
40/40/20 blend of Chardonnay / Jacquard and Mondeuse Blanc
Clear & pure as a alpin glacier.
Shy herbs, salty notes and faint whiff of underripe lemon.
On the palate this is crisp, lean and so juicy. Great purity and minerality. So devoid of fruit and yet with a lot of character. This is surprisingly nice and highly drinkable. — 4 years ago

This is a beautiful Carménère, all earthy and full of savory minerality. The blackberry and black plum aromas creep through the smell of that dirt with tar, forest floor and tobacco all over them. A hint of vanilla sweetens the sniff a bit. On the palate, the dark fruit is draped in sweet oak spice, and you’ll find a bucketful of tannins until the glass has been sitting for awhile. This is a steak wine, intended for a big, juicy piece of beef. — 5 years ago

This Chilean Pinot Noir offers a nose that is heavy with cola, black tea and coffee grounds. The savory aromas actually outweigh the fruit. It is a medium-weight wine, not very deeply tinted, and it rides light on the palate. The acidity is brisk and the tannins firm. This is not a Burgundian take on the grape, for certain. It is more playful than elegant, more rustic than beautiful.

50% вина 12 месяцев выдерживалось в бочках из французского дуба. Яблочно-сливочное. Яблоки, спелая груша, свежий миндаль, ваниль, тосты, нюансы мёда, вербена, штрихи орехов. Округлый, мягкий, очень приятный вкус. Хорошая кислотность. Долгое послевкусие с кислинкой. Г-н Паркер конкретно этому году поставил 90 баллов, не смею спорить. Большое удовольствие. — 5 years ago

9.5

Great structure, nice body, chewy, with verve. Earthy and savory, baked clay, underbrush, smoke and menthol. Just a tad austere. More generous fruit would have elevated this.

It hit another level on day 2, with the flavors crystallizing and more dried fruit, coffee, and milk chocolate coming on. Complex, food friendly and delish! — 4 years ago

Fruit filled glacier water with depth and a mineral finish. Pretty long for an ‘instappertje’ — 4 years ago

This wine is dark and savory. The black fruit comes along with cedar, vanilla and a chalky earth tone. Nothing like Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, but more in line with Paso Robles. Lots of South American minerals having a bit of roughhouse here. — 5 years ago
