This was on the bubble. Fully mature, but drinking perfectly now. A shade too much oak on the nose and palate. Tannins are close to resolved, and not too much acidity to talk about. Still fruit dominant with black cherries and linze torte. Consume with the next 12 - 24 months. — 3 years ago

Domaine du Mas Blanc (Docteur Parcé)

Banyuls Rimage La Coume 2007

[Half bottle] This lovely 17-year-old Banyuls has finally knitted together into a very fine example of Dr. Parce Banyuls (old vine Grenache made in the same way as Port), earlier bottles were terribly disjointed and lacking balance and sweetness). Served with Viennese Sacher Torte my wife made for dessert!

Our first Dr. Parce was the 1967 “Vielles Vignes” which was fantastic and is still my reference point. We had that in 1987 at Pierre Gagnaire’s restaurant in St. Etienne, before he moved on to Paris, his staff was kind enough to comp us a bottle — blind — while my brother and I embarrassed ourselves trying to identify the wine!! That bottle was tried with Pierre’s famous “chocolate soup” dessert, the recipe for which was in Patricia Wells’ “Food and Wine Lovers of France” book from the mid-1980s — memorable combination!!!

Wow. What a wine. Cherry flower galore. Stunning. Soppy cherries galore. Just so pure. 9.6 nose. Smells like Pergole Torte. Wow. Powdered cherry sugar. Sweet, silky, sappy, pure, delineated. Unreal. Best wine I’ve ever had from Costa Archi. — 3 years ago

Domaine Zind Humbrecht

Clos Saint Urbain Rangen de Thann Riesling 2005

Beautiful wine. Just starting to amber in the glass. Very nice white fruit and flowers on the nose. Finish lacks just a bit of acid which keeps this from being even better. But still a delicious wine, especially paired alongside some simple Dover sole meunière and an asparagus torte for our 5 year anniversary. — 4 years ago
