2018 Clos du Moulin aux Moines Pernand-Vergelesses Les Combottes BlancChardonnay more |
2/13/2023 - BurgAndy wrote: NRVery nice white burg. Restaurant bottle I had a few weeks back was tastier. I little bit closed this evening -- maybe even a little dumb. Hold a bit or maybe decant. Very good potential here. |

2013 Patrick Piuze Chablis Terroir de FyéChardonnay more |
8/25/2014 - BurgAndy wrote: NRYellow fruit, honeysuckle, ripe pear, sea water, suble minerality. A little hollow in the midpalate, a touch fat, finish is generous but comes off as less Chablis than expected but certainly this is a steely burg. A little more acid would have been appreciated but just fine for its level and a pleasurable food wine. Drink now. (Le Bernardin, NYC) |

2012 Domaine des Chezeaux Gevrey-ChambertinPinot Noir more |
12/21/2014 - BurgAndy wrote: NRRipe, forward, musky, animal, some earth. Easy drinking Gevrey. All about fruit now and reminds you why you drink infantile burg when you are looking for some youthful grape juice and not cloying candied Cali Pinot. Sure, could use some bottle age but these '12s that are low on the food chain are drinking so well on their fruit right now. Reminds me of those '05 Bourgogne and Village burgs in their youth before they shut down. |

2012 Peter Lauer Ayler Kupp Riesling Senior Faß 6Mosel Saar Ruwer more |
9/5/2014 - BurgAndy wrote: NRThe nose here is all perfume and honey. On the palate, it's like drinking freshly cut flowers, honeysuckle, white stone fruit, dill, and rock. Mineral-laden and complex. Tasted about six times now, about two cases left in the cellar. Is this the best Senior yet? |

2012 St. Innocent Pinot Noir Momtazi VineyardMcMinnville more |
3/27/2016 - BurgAndy wrote: NRLots of chewy perfumed ripe Pinot fruit with great midpalate depth and concentration. Surprisingly, after a few hours, the finish came off as just a bit clipped. This should be cellared for a few more years as this is wicked primary. Not sure about that finish however. Decanted and tasted over about three hours or so. |

2012 Domaine Bertheau (Pierre et François) Chambolle-MusignyPinot Noir more |
9/29/2014 - BurgAndy wrote: NRA slightly confected red fruit earthy nose. Spicy tart cranberry and pink grapefruit on the palate. A science experiment gone bad, unfortunate decision on my part. Day one this was chalky and dry and barely approachable. This note is from day 3. First bottle from a case. Hold hold hold. Three to five years before I'll taste again. |

2012 Marchand & Tawse / Pascal Marchand Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Clos des OrmesPinot Noir more |
1/4/2015 - BurgAndy wrote: NRThis is all about ripe, soft, red and black fruit. Practically undrinkable on day one -- like a ripe Cali cloying candied Pinot. By day two, this was quite nice and a pleasure to drink, but still so primary and ripe. Simply a science experiment at this juncture. This should be great in 5-7 years. |

2012 Weingut Keller Hubacker Riesling Großes GewächsRheinhessen more |
6/22/2014 - BurgAndy wrote: NRPretty cool to taste the 2012 Kirchspiel and Hubacker GGs side by side over a few days. Surprisingly, the Kirch is yellow-white, the Hubacker more white-yellow. In the glass, the Kirch is tight and acidic, with lemon-lime flavors, its pith and zest, tart starfruit, built on a block of stone. This will need a lot of time in bottle to unwind, at least 5-10 years. The Hubacker is all about its red soil -- it is broad shouldered, viscous, oily, and floral. There is elderberry and lychee and tart pear and mineral. The Hubacker will likely evolve sooner than the Kirch. Almost approachable, the Hubacker is not precocious juice by any means. What a dichotomy. Awesome juice(s). |

2011 Peter Lauer Ayler Kupp Riesling Senior Faß 6Mosel Saar Ruwer more |
11/30/2012 - BurgAndy wrote: NRVery interesting. Smokey lychee nose, sweet and savory white and yellow fruit on the palate. Comes across as having less acid and RS compared to the 2010. I like it. Not as flashy as the 2010 but has a lot going on, somewhat atypical. Tasted over three evenings. |

2011 Peter Lauer Riesling Barrel X feinherbMosel Saar Ruwer more |
1/20/2013 - BurgAndy wrote: NRFine for its level, with a sweet white fruit and citrus nose followed by a palate of starfruit, lychee, and canned fruit cocktail. Starts off a little dry, finishes a bit sweet. Decent acidity. More RS than I reckoned for. Nonetheless, really gulpable juice. I prefer the '10 Barrel X, which in comparison, comes off as drier and seemingly more electric. |

2011 Peter Lauer Ayler Kupp Riesling Kupp 56 Faß 18Mosel Saar Ruwer more |
8/25/2013 - BurgAndy wrote: NRTypical wonderful Lauer fruit here -- white stone fruit, citrus zest, starfruit, green melon, lime pith. More mineral on the nose than on the palate. Labeled T for trocken, but this came off as off-dry. Could have used more acid. After a few hours, it finished with this herbaceous/celery seed note that I didn't dig. Not my most favorite Lauer wine to date. Purchased from wine list, decanted and consumed over about 3 hours @ Rouge Tomate (NYC). |

2011 Gilbert Picq & ses Fils Chablis Vieilles VignesChardonnay more |
4/17/2013 - BurgAndy wrote: NRSoft yellow fruit and suble mineral nose. The palate is disappointing. Fat and flat, missing that requisite acid and minerality. Tastes like domestic juice. First vintage of the Picq VV that I've not loved. I do not have high hopes for 2011 Chablis. |

2011 Paul Pernot et ses Fils Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la GarenneChardonnay more |
8/16/2013 - BurgAndy wrote: NRGreat floral white and yellow fruit nose but the palate is pretty fat. Yes, Puligny is character, but this is a bit viscous and broad. Missing that chiseled fruit, minerality, and some bite. Needs to lean out, the fruit needs to fade a bit, the acid needs to emerge. Reminds me of fat Ramey chardonnay. This needs cellar time and some positive evolution. Drank over two days. |

2011 Weingut Keller Riesling von der FelsRheinhessen more |
8/23/2012 - BurgAndy wrote: NRHaving a hard time getting a handle on this one. Really evolved with time and air and as it warmed. Boisterous nose -- wild notes of restrained lychee, ripe white peaches, and wet rocks. Flavors of tart white grapes, gooseberry (yes, gooseberry -- I like gooseberries), and slate. This is pretty balanced and long, but lean, acidic, and electric at the same time. Finishes just a tad short for my taste -- maybe a little more acid on the finish would make this complete for me. Or maybe I'm simply nitpicking at this point. Best to probably revisit this in a year or so. Tasted over two days. |

We actually had this at Saam Bar off their list after finishing dinner at Ko. What more do you need with a David Chang pork bun? |

3/23/2014 - BurgAndy wrote: NRWas curious to try the 2011 GC VV having read the mixed reviews on this one. I have hesitated to buy significant quantities of the '11s until the verdict is out regarding the overall in-bottle greenness of the vintage. In fact, the only large buys I have made have been the Fourrier 2011s. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (5) |

2011 Weingut Keller Riesling TrockenRheinhessen more |
9/27/2012 - BurgAndy wrote: NRThis Trocken is a rockin'. Lime and lychee and quinine and slate with a nice dose of acid. Not quite the electricity/hurting my teeth acidity of 2010, but just a great balance between fruit, minerality, and acid. Very invigorating at this level, not overly complex. The other evening I had a great starter of artisanal gin, Fever Tree tonic, and a splash of St. Germaine -- this is the riesling equivalent. I think this may be this year's dry house riesling. |

2011 François Gaunoux Meursault Le Clos de TavauxChardonnay more |
3/8/2014 - BurgAndy wrote: NRI am in agreement with the prior notes on this wine. Atypical, unbalanced, hot, primary, and simply raw. I tasted this over a few days and never really found anything to like about it. That being said, there is a lot of raw material here and evolution certainly is possible. I'd lay down remaining bottles for 2-5 years and hope for the best. |

1/7/2014 - BurgAndy wrote: NRWide open bright red berry gamey nose. On the palate, there is red berry candy, jam, scant minerals, soft grainy tannins. Great mouthfeel, midpalate, and finish. Volnay in character, very primary, very fun. A bit New World. Drinking very well now so why wait? |

2011 Evening Land Vineyards Meursault 1er Cru BlagnyChardonnay more |
5/31/2015 - BurgAndy wrote: NRRelatively ripe white and yellow orchard fruit, wood, hint of stone, and some dill weed on the palate. A bit New World in character, does not necessarily speak of its terroir. Comes off as a bit young and in need of some integration, enjoyable nonetheless. I'd hold over the short term and let things settle down a bit. |
