Jackson Park Vineyard Merlot 2015

9.3

Polished domestic Merlot. Very savory on the nose. Almost classic Bordeaux in style , green olive and olive tapenade. Oregano and thyme with just a hint of oak hut not overly in your face. Beautiful inky hue. Lots of great tannin and acidity on the backbone of this wine. Plenty of room to keep aging. Blackberries and blueberries upfront. Fantastic finish that lingers without feeling big heat. Very well balanced at 14.5% — a year ago

Clos des Hospices dans les Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2016

9.1

Très beau Chablis de Christian Moreau encore une fois, tout en finesse et fraîcheur, des notes de fruits jaunes surtout, bouteille plus évoluée que la dernière par contre mais encore très bon.

Very nice Clos des Hospices again, yellow orchard fruit, bottle seemed to have more age than the last one hut still gorgeous finesse, freshness and elegance. — 3 years ago

Nose is cranberry, spice and mulberry. So different than what Thorle is doing today. Love this style but also love the newer style. What a winery! Some herbs, some limestone aromas and sour cherry. Very complex. Palate is energetic and to be honest a bit of an herbal streak that I love but others might not. No green from 18 on for this bottling. I am betting it goes away with air. Palate is lush and energetic with terrific purity and depth. Good freshness and depth hut seems thing compared to what they are doing now. Sour and early season cherry fruit and super velvety tannins. Let’s see what happens with air. — 4 months ago

1. BF that knows wine: This wine. Is like having to listen to the cold hard truth. Kinda dry. Kinda bitter. But you appreciate it.
2. Friend that took UC Davis Coursera wine Class (and also knows a decent Amt): on the nose - it reminds me of earl grey tea. Herbaceous but not entirely herbaceous. It needs to breathe a bit. On the palette - in the beginning, it’s so flavorful I want to say full body, but it’s not. It’s perky - but not crispy. Between stone fruit and dark fruit - it’s a red fruit. A little bit - but not too much fruitiness. It’s great and I’d drink again!
3. Me: Juicy! Excellent wine to drink in a NYC outdoor hut seating with friends. Pairs well with Astrology talk. — 2 years ago
