Confrérie Des Chevaliers du Tastevin Sous-Commanderie d'Albany; 20 September 2020 at New World Bistro, Albany, NY

Physically Distanced 🚧 but Socially Close 🤗 dinner, our first in +8mo. Following the reasonable NY State dining regulations, seated and masked. While a new experience, it was well worth it to see our core group again.

Un esempio da seguire ...

In a weird and frankly unenjoyable place right now. Acid (malic?) overpowering everything right now; feeling way too rustic.

What, what?!?

Hospice du Rhône closing BBQ.

Unfamiliar w this monopole. Did not over-impress. Maybe 2008?

Bright and fresh. Good definition and a slatiness. Lovely fruit. Very good.

Fantastic marzipan and white fruit nose. Lemons peach and slate. A great mineral bracing spine. A beautiful soft mid palate. Great structure. Long. Brilliant. Atypical puligny but all the better for it. At its apex now.

Great acidity and length with very pronounced minerality on a very long persistent finish
