Lovely floral aromas arabesque, in roses and violets, heather, tulips, poppies, lavender and geraniums. Peppercorn clusters. Palate shows dusty grape that turns to dried blackberries, dried raspberry and marinate herbs, black currant and strangely: soap bubble. Meat and plum make an appearance, but the true key is the swings in tenor and complexity. Just exquisite.

Dark brick red-cherry robe. Bouquet of leather and herbs. Supple tannins, although definitely present, leading to a velvety smooth texture. An earthy attack giving way to a red fruit evolution and an energetic, lengthy finish. Still has life! Delicious!#bordeaux #crubourgeois #chateaubelairlagrave #1998 #summertime #frenchwine #vintage — 9 years ago

Heady mushroom and a little black wood funk adjusts to clean lemongrass and white lavender with a light crepe aroma. Lemon curd and white pepper with the finest mousse that envelopes the palate completely, and beckons the lemon oil and mascarpone toast and pomelo marmalade. The culmination of these flavors lingers ethereal, floating atop chalky clouds and lime and floral essences. #grandcruvalue #grandcru #PaulEtienne #bubbles #blancdeblancs #frenchwine — 9 years ago

Leather with a hint of mushroom, pine cone, baked plum and cigar box aromas. Black and red currant inform an abundant palate of oak dust and cedar strip, wet cobblestone, dried rose petal, licorice extract, pencil shavings, eucalyptus, black, ripe plum skin, light pepper, and bitter cinnamon.

Expected purple-black without variance. Ripe plums and rich prunes dance the dance of dawn and dusk. Dried blackberry and red currant trace their steps. Clean waters flow and blueberry and elderberry emerge. Even bacon fat. This is plump Bordeaux. Graphite washes thinly, revealing black currant and lingonberry fleetingly before settling on dried lavender and dried mallow blossom and briny violet. True to the rue. Tart cherries peek through windows in the rain-slicked, cobbled alley. Cranberry skin. #Bordeaux #chateauFéretLambert #Grézillac #BordeauxRouge #FrenchWine #wine #redwine #bordeauxsupérieur #merlotblend — 6 years ago

Do you like oranges? Fun start but I think I rather have the regular Bandol with some age.

I'm trying to get caught up from vacation, and this half bottle of Savary Chablis is helping me cope. It's a nice wine and has a touch of this vanilla wafer thing going on in the finish. It's subtle but there. Acidity isn't as high as other producers I've tasted from 2016 lately. Quality seems to run the gamut depending on the style and producer. #kermitlynch #chablis #burgundy #whiteburgundy #chardonnay #frenchwine #drinkingnatural #DomaineSavary #SavaryChablis — 8 years ago

A peppery, meaty mist settles on rosemary and cedar nettle,dried red cherry, until the whole resembles a salami of substance. There is a slight mustard dust as well as a dry, cattle patch with leather and dried cranberry. Medium mouthfeel with exquisite complexity, a pointed violet wrapped in sage and exploding with dried raspberry and underripe strawberries. There are solid citrus suggestions, allspice, white pepper, chalky and charcoal combo, black olive and cinnamon-dusted cardamom. #corton #bourgogne #champy #burgundystudy #burgundypairswithphish #pinotnoir #organicwine #frenchwine #hurricanewine #ohmygod #irma #sofla #theresnoeyeinpinot #luxe #happybirthday #happybirthdaycokocash — 9 years ago

Holly leaf, white pine, baguette, pine nut, cauliflower, and clover honey aromas. Orange blossoms, lemon zest, honeysuckle, tartar biscuit, dried pineapple, dried apricot seaside lemon, white pepper lemon bread in lemon oil and the shine lasts like the persistence of vision in a lightning burst. Phenomenal wine at this moment! #champagne #champagneproblems #champagnelife #champagnecampaign #bubbles #bubblesforlife #bubblesareagirlsbestfriend #Haton #frenchwine #jeannöelhaton — 9 years ago

Raspberry vinaigrette to raspberry sorbet, cran-boysenberry, white mushroom explosion; great nose! Freeze dried strawberry and powdery grape, but herbaceous plenty throughout, with allspice and oregano and sprigs of kitchen sink. Raspberry both dried and reduced bring home the long finish! .

Warm baguette with whipped butter and lemon. Artichoke, green tomato, grilled pineapple, smoky hog jowl on greens, pretzel dough, basil and capers are bursting from the glass in gaseous form. Medium mouthfeel, buttery and olive-briny, white mushroom, flat-citric lemon oil bordering on curd, and yellow wax beans with water chestnuts and almonds. Nice acidity keeps tho one from becoming sluggish. A full, round mouthful, with plenty to contemplate. Persistent and palate-coating. #CDP #chateauneufdupapeblanc #blanc #frenchwine #popewine #domainedessénéchaux #rhonewine — 9 years ago

Inky, inky black color with rim to rim coverage. Dark melted chocolate with blackberries swimming, but less sweet than you are imagining. There is cinnamon, a caramelized, dehydrated plantain, almond extract, mocha grounds, and mahogany in abundance ethereally. Medium mouthfeel is the initial indicator of this wines pronounced balance, despite its varietal reputation. Dried currants, smoky, dry blackberry, cedar and a deep Madura tobacco and dusty cardamom, coriander and lavender with burnt citrus oils, and thick dark veils of iron and tallow suspended in smoking earth. It is hard to describe the dark, universe of beauty this wine embodies. Exceptional and profound.
