Bouches-Chères Meursault 1er Cru Chardonnay 2016

What an interesting Meursault, luscious on the palate with a lean, citrus finish, but the nose was like nothing I have experienced in white Burgundy, minty. I was perplexed and kept going back to the glass for another smell, I would have rated this wine higher but the aroma was not typical. Was it the glass? Or am I nuts? Anyway, the company and the ambiance were outstanding. — 4 years ago

Les Hauts Doix Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2015

Medium weight, red fruit, disappears after an echexeaux of the same year and same producer in the same vintage. Excellent Chambolle, red fruit, quite heady. Great company for binge Netflix Fauda. — 5 years ago

Les Folatières Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2011

Fantastic wine. Second bottle. First was oxidised sadly. Took it back to the merchant Imperial Wine Company in Bungay uk who replaced it for free! Had it with scallops with chilli dressing followed by hake with garlic butter. Heaven! Deep yellow. Honeyed complex with hint of mineralogy. Long and rounded. Very very good. Will buy some more.? — 6 years ago

Ending the best Christmas. I was able to spend the night enjoying great wine with my dad and oldest son. It was some great wine to be had but it was the company of that made it the best. Merry Christmas to everyone. Love your family — 9 years ago

Clos Labarde

St. Émilion Grand Cru 2016

9.0

Ripe plum, black currant, cedar, black pepper, a hint of rusted iron on the nose. Dense palate. Bright acidity. Firm tannins leads to an slightly astringent finish.
Not quite ready yet. Need at least another 5 years.
Clos Labarde is a 4.5ha estate a stone throw from Pavie. 16’ is the last vintage before it’s sold to an insurance company for a cool $3.5m/ha.

Brut 1er Cru Rosé Champagne Blend

Enjoying the always lovely Hebrart rosé. It’s unfair to say this is perfect for the summer because really, it’s always the right time to open this.

Sleek, sensual, and sexy. Just like the sophisticated older lady you met in college while visiting the city that taught all the things you should know. Summer berries and fresh herbs. Spice takes over and guides you on an aromatic journey. Toasty with a just a hint of yeast. Mint and vanilla.

Unmistakably Chardonnay dominant though the Pinot Noir shows well. Wonderful tension and balance with pleasing acidity. The trademark Hebrart harmony and finesse really shine through. Charming and lovely from the first sip to the last. Very pure, very focused. Beautiful rosé. Drink with good company.

Château de Pressac

St. Émilion Grand Cru Merlot Blend 2015

In the glass, the wine has a glistening, dark royal purple color, almost black in the center, with flashes of magenta just at the edge. The classic Right Bank nose unfurls gradually with aromas of sun-warmed black raspberries, griotte cherries, and sweet white tobacco moving in and out of the foreground, sometimes alternating with Dutch cocoa, eucalyptus, and vanilla as the wine evolves in the glass.

On entry, the wine is luscious and succulent, building to a rich, juicy mid-palate, with a cornucopia of black and red fruit flavors that echo the nose, all lightly seasoned with toasted coconut, baker’s chocolate, and red berry acidity, and the long, elegant finish is punctuated with sinuous, fine-grained, dusty tannins. Drink now – 2027. — Moore Brothers Wine Company

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1989

I was not blessed with the greatest birth vintage for Bordeaux (1991), but luckily my dear friend fared better (1989). Red currant, raspberry coulis, cedar, and graphite - the wine is still so fleshy, round and clean, nowhere near as tertiary as I'd expected going into the evening. It's structured, but also rather open knit after a quick decant. I hope to taste this Latour again in the coming years - as I believe it has many stories yet to tell. A special wine shared with even better company - there are worse ways to spend a Tuesday night. — 8 years ago

Mont de Milieu Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2014

Straightforward Chablis, which is no slight--well executed, lots of tension, exactly what I was looking for. Citrus, green apple, underripe plum, chalk, subtle oak. Great company in the heat of the kitchen and with dinner later on. — 9 years ago

La Fussière Maranges 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2019

Maybe it was the company, the weather, the food or my mood but boy did I really enjoy this wine! Beautifully dark cherry color. Perfect level of fruit so the wine is hugely versatile. The manager of crush wines in nyc ( one of my favorite wine stores) recommended it - and boy was he right! Really love it. To my taste exactly at this time and pace (NY). Oh and I know I should have cellared or a bit more but I went for it. — 4 years ago

Les Petits Fers Division Villages Gamay Noir 2018

Shockingly tasty Gamay from Oregon (?!). I am now learning this is a thing. The winemakers say they’re inspired by friends in Fleurie. Cru B it’s not, but it IS a delicious if slightly too-acidic (an acidity that seems to build minutes and hours after opening) expression of a grape that just seems so crazily stalwart. — 6 years ago

Somewhat closed on the nose, good start but not long enough for a wine of this pricerange. In good company with heavy discussions so maybe not tasted with proper attention

Cirq

Treehouse Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

2012 CIRQ Estate Treehouse Pinot Noir. Michael Browne’s (of Kosta Browne) personal project which as I understand is an homage to the Summers he spent at a ‘Circus Camp’ in his youth. Treehouse is an amazing hilltop (stunning elevation) property in west Sonoma County with red, iron-rich soil surrounded by (say what?) coastal cypress trees. I had the pleasure of visiting, hosted by Damon Wong, and it's an amazing Vineyard. Unlike anything else I've ever seen. I can understand Michael's fascination with it. The wine: On the nose, red fruits, cedarbox, with notes of rhubarb and fennel. On the palate, pomegranate, kirsch, black tea, spices, roasted herbs along with hints of black truffles and white pepper. Beautiful texture. Lengthy finish. Classic expression of Pinot Noir. If I had to distinguish it from Kosta Browne from a flavor-perspective, I would say higher acidity and a bit of tannin give it a quality more accustom to Grand Cru Burgundy which is not bad company. I'm a fan. Congrats to Michael as well as his partner in this project, my friend Kenny Rochford, one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. — 9 years ago
