Following the excellent 2008 vintage I had last night this 2013 was also good. Will buy and put in the cellar. 17.5 — 10 years ago
A master wine; it commands space in my taste memory; greatest of Chateauneuf-du-Pape wines tasted for some time; nose evolution excellent, freshness and palate taut, not dry. 2004; Last evening of #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtour #france2015 #drinkrhone #chateauneufdupape #grenache #beaucastel #gsm #2004 Red Blend not white — 10 years ago
Just a wonderful wine; several great vineyards get to compose the wine; body; weight too; #2010 #bourgogne #chambollemusigny #cotesdenuits #drinkburgundy #josephdrouhin #masterly #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtours #france2015 — 10 years ago
Traditional but great Cote Rotie 2012 from a master of 44 vintages; Rene Rostaing; deeply brooding, big colour but tannin elegance including all stalk #coterotie #syrah #rostaing #rhone #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtour #france2015 — 9 years ago
2013 vintage. Generic and pretty pale when compared with even village level Burgundy. Interesting nutty and citrusy aromas, but the famous complexity is not there. Great introductionary wine for sure—get a couple of better Burgundy bottles on top of this one and compare. Really makes the regional structure and appellations very understandable and easy. — 10 years ago
Over-the-top example of White Rhone 2012 Chapoutier #marsanne from jv with chef Yannik Alleno with Couronne de Cabot ; excellent with lobster salad, cucumber jus; #drinkrhone #drinksyrah #drinkmarsanne #saintjoseph #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtour #france2015 — 10 years ago
After decanting, a strange note of charcoal on nose. Lacking the complexity of a Premier or Grand Cru but VG for a Village wine. 17- — 10 years ago
Condrieu with excellent age development #2011 ; the #apricots ; nice wine, not too over-the-top for viognier; compact but unctuous (word that describes viognier texture; otherwise slippery); top exponent of blancs in the Northern Rhone is Yves. #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtour #france2015 #condrieu #viognier #slippery — 10 years ago
