2017 François Rousset-Martin Aligoté Aligato

Vin de France more

3/23/2022 - Love4Vino Does not like this wine: NR

This is my second bottle. I just cannot get over the smoke/burnt rubber on the nose that overpowers any other floral/citrus notes. It did not blow away after 30 minutes in the glass. It had a refreshing flavor of green apples and lemons but still have a tinge of the smoke in the palate. Is this flawed?

Expressive nose of flint, lemon, tropical fruits. On the palate, the first word that came to mind was ‘spicy’. Good acidity, full bodied and flavors of citrus and green apples. Quite enjoyable on a warm afternoon!

Cork elevated about 1/8"... not a good start. The cork was soaked through. Nose was more like a Cali pinot... it went downhill from there. The palate was just awful, all acid and no fruit. Tossed it down the drain.

1985 Philippe Leclerc Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Combe aux Moines

Pinot Noir more

4/5/2015 - Love4Vino Likes this wine: NR

Drank this at our 30th wedding anniversary dinner. Excellent bottle of a mature burgundy. A little browning at the edges but otherwise still reddish purple in color. Notes of earthy loam and mushrooms mixed with hints of raspberries and some coffee. The tangy cherry raspberry palate was delightful. I would have guessed a wine half its age had I tasted this blind.
It can probably last another decade. Wonderful wine.

Lots of fruit but lacking structure. I don;t mind the big flavors but want some acidity to it. Tannns were present but not persistent. Lots of dark fruit flavors (blackberries, currants). I can see it as a party favorite but sadly not me.

Showing advanced age. Golden straw color with citrus and sea spray notes. Still enjoyable with a clean finish but I can sense that it is on its decline and I'm afraid a steep one at that.

A wonderful showing from a tough vintage. Drank with my daughter for her 21st birthday. Fruit is fading but is was enjoyable. Sour cherry notes on the nose and palate with bright acidity. Went well with food.

We need to drink our other bottle soon.

Strong Brioche notes upon opening. Advanced oxidation. Hate when this happens to a 5 year old wine.

I got lucky in the premox lottery. This bottle was a far cry from one I opened in February. This one is fresh and holding up with age. Notes of sea spray, meyer lemons and key limes abound that carries into a rich mouthful of flavors. Delightful!

Great bottle. Wonderful nose of crushed raspberry and strawberry. As it sat in my glass, i got some surprisingly good coffee notes, loved that in this wine. Light-bodied mouthfeel, lots of tangy starwberries carried through with a long finish. Love what Wells is doing at Copain! This wine is in my top wines for 2013.

I was not expecting anything when I opened this one based on the experience with the one I opened recently. This is bottle is the total opposite. A still vibrant 20 year old! Lovely Sous bois, dark earth, mint on the nose. Medium bodied mouthfeel with lots of fruit left; balanced with good acidity. Glad this one turned out better than the first bottle.

Showing it's age. Brownish hue in color. Initially at opening, a little stinky but blew off after decanting for 15 minutes. Lovely rose petals and tar on the nose. Medium body with tangy licorice flavors. I don't think there is anymore upside to aging them. I plan to drink my other two bottles in the next 6-12 months.

Went really well with my homemade spaghetti meat marinara.

Rich and bold nose (notes of buttery lemon peel). A very full bodied and rich mouthfeel with citrus and pineapple balanced by a good bit of acidity. A very good example of a very good california chardonnay. Went well with grilled chicken pesto pasta.

Is there a "I love it" button? My new favorite NV. lemon lime scent beautifully balanced acidity and a hint of residual sugar.

It paired great with curried coconut chicken.

10/8/2013 - Love4Vino Likes this wine: NR

All the 2005 Brocards I have opened have shown advanced age, this one included. The cork seems to be lose on all the bottles I have opened. This shows as a mature chablis with a golden color and notes of lime and seashells. Full smooth mouthfeel with flavors of lemon lime. I would have to continue to drink my stash of Brocards.

Wonderful bottle. Like an adolescent, it has both youthful characters and some maturity. Leather, cedar, and very floral notes. Great mouthfeel with cassis and currant flavors, power with finesse.

Opened after golf with friends. Not oxidized! Good wine but flat at mid-palate. The 2000 J Boillot Mouchere we had after this was much more vibrant and more flavorful.

The cork was soft and was wet halfway. Showing advanced age. Deep straw color and some toasty notes already. Still drinkable but I will have to consume my other bottles soon. My fist bottle 6 months ago did not have this wet cork and advance age character.

Drink up.
