7/15/2023 - oldwines Likes this wine: 96 pointsAll American Chardonnay Tasting (New Jersey, USA): Wow, what a wonderful wine! 5 out of the 10 attendees, including me (all but one of the real wine "aficionados" in the group) called this as the wine of the night! So perfectly balanced. Light lemon yellow with a tinge of green. Beautiful nose of fresh cut white flowers, white peach, pear, and lemony citrus. Palate reflects the nose with an herbal undertone. Superb balance and absolute seamlessness across every aspect of the wine. Delicious, complex and long on the finish. Still very youthful and with tremendous upside, but gorgeous tonight!

2019 Dakota Shy Rosé of Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
5/23/2020 - chuckos77 Likes this wine: 90 pointsOk, it’s a rose so just saying. Absolutely beautiful in glass. Color is light, even for rose. Slight nose but served slightly chilled. Slight alcohol noticeable. Subtle fruit and slightly dry. Very good summertime wine. Although ordered 2018 I thought, turns out this was 2019.

2019 Valérie Courréges ZinzolinVin de France Red Blend more |
9/9/2021 - sjw_11 wrote: 87 pointsNot sure why this is listed as Cab Franc? I believe it is a blend of Malbec, syrah, cabernet sauvignon, and merlot. This is very reminiscent of its sibling the “Ocrement Dit” that I had the other day (which is slightly more expensive and is labeled Cahors). Rich and ripe dark/purple fruit. A touch of funk. Full bodied and warm on the palate. As with its sibling, if you like the style it’s pretty enjoyable.

11/19/2023 - wineshaman wrote: 87 pointsGot to say, given all the positive reviews for this CDP I was terribly disappointed. Purchased at a French restaurant in Georgetown, which was equally disappointing. That being said, this bottle just would not open up, muted nose, the palate had some spicy notes that saved this from a lower score. It displayed little in the way of fruit, earth or meaty flavors I come to expect in a fine CDP, paired with disappointing beef burguignon and coq au vin, which I am sure did no favors for the wine.

2018 Mickaël Bourg Cornas Les P'tits BoutsSyrah more |
3/22/2021 - Eric wrote: 94 pointsWell this is an insanely delicious young wine, wow! Gunpowder and smoke mixing with spiced blackberries, tapenade and freshly cracked black pepper. This is quite a nose, really! The palate is less forgiving, young, tight, mineral, very wound up. Juicy, fresh acid, and saline. It is not a pleasure bomb yet, but it is stunning in its purity and reserve even if a bit austere at the moment. Very exciting and definitely reminds me of my first taste of Allemand.

2018 Alex Foillard Côte de BrouillyGamay more |
10/12/2022 - Eric wrote: 90 pointsMmm, lifted, bright, floral nose. The palate is spicy and sleek, "cinnamon red hots" to steal a descriptor from Justin. This does have a very high acid profile and is lean, racy, not an easy wine, and really wants food. Now for me, everything I just wrote is a positive. This is tasty stuff! I will say that when I revisited this there was a bit of a odd lactic note, not off-putting but hard to place.
