A few days late but here is my annual tribute to Gustav Meier. He was loved dearly by six(?) decades of students and colleagues. As worldly and as sophisticated as he was, this great man had terrible taste in alcohol. There’s a Belgian style brewery near school where he would only order Coors Light from. His go to scotch was Cutty Sark. For wine, he preferred those gaudy Californian merlots that got deservedly dunked on in Sideways. Whenever I brought him a bottle of wine, I always got him a right bank Bordeaux. Perhaps my hints at how wonderful merlot can be were too subtle. It’s been nine years but we all miss him dearly. I may no longer be a conductor but I can still hear many teachings of his as if he is standing next to me. “Get out of their way and just trust them!” I need constant reminders of this invaluable piece of advice whether I am parenting or working with a client.

Good fruit, light but flavourful. Bright. Very light touch with the oak. Very mild tannins. A lot of acidity. Tasted at Open Cellars. This is too young to drink now. — 3 years ago

On the second day the acidity is better balanced with his lemon and mineralic notes - good apéritif wine — 2 years ago

Quite elegant. Light touch with oak to add some complexity. Complex various fruits. Loads of acidity cutting through the initial sweetness. — 3 years ago

Long overdue annual post for Gustav Meier. He would just turned 90. A very worthwhile #merlot in Gusti’s honor! Elegant and charming. Like him! — 6 years ago
