My wine so no guesses. Group got Tempranillo before long (but were guessing 15-20 years old). Raspberry and pomegranate, a little coffee, some coconut and vanilla. Nice, mature, ready. B+/B

One of the best Père de Famille I had. Very "French" in style. So good that we opened a second bottle later that night.

Not a typical Beaujolais - almost full body - plenty of fruits (cherry raspberry) for the palate, not so much on the nose. Not what I was expecting, was planning to open a light weekday wine but this turns out to be much stronger than expected. Will have to drink it over the week then.

1929 Bouchard Père et Fils Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens

Pinot Noir more

5/13/2024 - Xavier94 Likes this wine: 94 points

Deep color, at first shows a marvelous sweetness in the form of maple syrup, mocha/coffee and nougat that do not take away from some intriguing notes of soy sauce reduction, bacon fat, smoked meats and a subtle dusty leather note. This has gone entirely tertiary and more about the sweetness to the remaining fruit with perhaps, the barest hint of any sous bois influence. Creamy with heightened glycerin/creamy feel in the palate. No eveident undue oxidation and almost liqueur-like in it's chocolate-minty character. A lovely treat and experience. Thank you, Joe!!

Still a baby, as others have noted--if you have any, hold. Did open up over the course of the evening and smoothed out its tougher tannins. Big, dark cherry fruit, baking spice, long finish.

Poured from magnum. Last time I had this wine was also from magnum in 2011, where it was tight as nails without too much fruit expression. Today it is not tight, but still dominated by its structure, and the fruit feels fully mature, if a bit passed. We decanted half the mag and left the other half in the bottle. The wine in the decanter went off incredibly quickly (a couple hours), and this note is coming from a fresh pour out of the bottle, which is more expressive. The aromas are vibrant, soil, sous bois, a beef stew, and yeah, some fruit. Smells nice, and shows some elegance. But definitely feeling a bit old. Medium intensity acidity on the palate, which then transitions to quite a wall of acid on the finish which has some nice intensity on the finish (the acid is really muted from the decanter version). Apple skins, macerated fruit lingers, but it all feels a little past its prime without much fruit left. Pretty surprising. Perhaps this bottle was not in the best condition.

Pinot Noir more

5/5/2024 - glou.sf Likes this wine: 94 points

Forest floor, red fruit, maybe a hint of leather, cherries, and sweeter fruit on the nose. It started out a bit reserved but really blossomed with air. The palate is very nice as well and shows some tertiary character, sous bois, but still plenty of fruit and feels slightly sweeter than the nose. Good finish. This was a really good, very traditional Burgundy that's probably drinking close to peak right now.

Medium ruby. Dark fruits, a very light hint of chocolate and some oak. Medium tannin, medium acidity, on the medium dry side.

A very one dimensional mediocre boring wine. Not pricey but still disappointing. Skip it.

2016 F.X. Pichler Riesling Unendlich

Wachau more

5/5/2024 - glou.sf Likes this wine: 96 points

Beautiful nose with ripe and intense fruit, peach, lemon, lots of dry extract, grapefruit, and a hint of honey. Great acidity with citrus flavors, green apple, more peach, and a hint of apricot. It's very ripe but actually well balanced by the acidity and brighter flavors. Long finish. This is excellent, wow! It's beautiful now but will only improve with age. There's probably a touch of Botrytis but I felt it didn't distract from the Riesling flavors. 96+

2001 Giacomo Conterno Barolo Cascina Francia

Nebbiolo more

5/5/2024 - glou.sf Likes this wine: 94 points

Much darker nose than the Giacosa next to it with more black cherries and some tar notes. It feels much more substantial but perhaps also less nuanced. Nice acidity on the palate with lots of tannic structure, red fruit, cherries, some spices, and forest notes. The finish is quite long. This is really good but not nearly as open and accessible as the Giacosa. 94-95+

5/5/2024 - glou.sf Likes this wine: 95 points

Pretty and outgoing nose with classic Nebbiolo notes of roses, flowers, cherries, a slight pepper note, and nice depth. Great acidity with present but not too harsh tannins, lots of cherries, a hint of berries, and underwood on the palate. Long finish. A really lovely, beautiful wine that should continue to age for a long time, but is drinking really well already.

From autochthonous and international varieties, 12.5% vol.

PnP. International style, would guess mainly Chardonnay. Medium bodied with good freshness, mouthfeel and length. Enjoyed in an Italian restaurant in Belfort. Don't cellar it, drink in its youth.

The nose was quite backwards and almost felt closed. Some red fruit and underwood emerged with air, but overall it wasn't showing much. Relatively tannic palate with more red fruit, good acidity, and some spices. Good finish. This was really hard to read and I feel like there is enough substance and fruit that will eventually emerge, but now is not the time. 92ish in the future...

Nice aromatics with darker fruit tones, cherries, violets, and nice depth. Good acidity with maybe a bit of an oak influence on the palate, strawberries, and cherries. The fruit is quite primary still. Nice finish. This was super interesting to try, although it's a wine that needs time to fully come together. 93++

First time trying this producer. Really pretty nose with delicate notes of cherries, earth, berries, and forest. Quite high acidity on the palate with strawberry flavors and forest floor. Nice finish. This reminds me much more of a red Jura than Burgundy and while the wine is very light on both nose and palate, it's quite complex, subtle, and deep. Wow, this is actually really impressive. Almost like a young Overnoy Poulsard... 94++

Very nice and fragrant nose with strawberries, forest notes, and a bit of savory. The palate has quite a bit of tannic structure and nice acidity with more red fruit and forest notes and overall nice complexity. Good finish. This was really good and I feel like it will continue to improve for some time. Hold for 5+ years. 93+

5/10/2024 - robmatic wrote: NR

From a 2002 bottling with significant sediment. Unusually light in color and body for a 40 year tawny, is it possible that this bottle was kept a bit too long? I was not very impressed with the wine, but I may have been spoiled by a recent diet of stunning old tawnies from Quinta do Mourão and Vieira de Sousa.
