Domaine Moillard

Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1966

#birthyear murky brickish red. Still plenty of red and cherry fruit with some interesting spice. On the downward path but a few pleasant beverage. I think Dujac buys this RSV land later on. — 10 years ago

Harry, Domaine Dujac's RSV holding is actually owned by Dr. Wilf Jaeger, and Dujac farms, vinifies, raises, & bottles under the Domaine. Interesting if same parcel.

Interesting. I'm reading 'Pearl of the Cote' right now. If I understand correctly. Part of Moillard RSV was sold to Arnoux and Cathiard in 1984. Which Cathiard then sold part back to Moillard. Then there is the 2005 sale which splits up the Moillard (Charles Thomas) purchase between de Montille and Dujac (Jaeger leaseback).

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

Hermitage Syrah 1986

Perfect bottle. Still had red berry fruit tucked into hot earth, olive and smoke. Acid still kept it fresh and ever so juicy. And just the lightest bit of tannin remained to add some texture. Beautiful. #birthyear — 9 years ago

D'Oliveiras

Vintage Madeira Terrantez 1977

From an almost extinct grape varietal, Terrantez. Lots of sour and bitter notes, burnt blood orange, loads of salty sea air, and raw as oppose to roasted walnuts. An extreme and unique example of Madeira I would think. #birthyear #1977 — 10 years ago

Are you kidding me?! Got this at the winery a few years ago. It's unreal how youthful this is. The color has faded to that of a dark Pinot, but very little bricking. Earthy notes, followed by fresh and decayed red fruits, there are still intense tannins that are so well integrated into the wine that it last on the palate for what seems to be hours. Birth year spectacular. #birthyear — 10 years ago

Cuvée Camille Morgon Gamay 2014

A special wine on a special day. Maybe the best Beaujolais wine I have ever had, but I will reserve that official judgement for a day when I am not sensorily handicapped. The aroma enraptures the nose with a perfume of red berries, subtle spice and a profusion of mineral and rocks. The palate works like a lense of transparency of flavor tthat changes focus in layers, revealing different nuances and degrees of flavor, acidity and tannin. A really special wine! #lapierre #gamay #birthyear for #camille #happybirthday #terroir — 11 years ago
