2015 Domaine Ninot Mercurey 1er Cru Les Saumonts

Pinot Noir more

2/2/2024 - kdubler wrote: NR

I have now opened 3 of these and 1 of the three was corked. At this point I do not believe it is an issue with the wines overall, just bad luck on the one.

Overall these wines are drinking beautifully. Drank next to wines from Marsannay, Chambolle-Musigny, and Savigny-lès-Beaune and many people preferred the Mercurey.

Drank with a winemaker friend. Still very much alive. This tasted like it may be immortal. Tannins were still tight, but very pleasant. Red and black fruit in the background behind notes of tobacco, forest floor and a mineral note that I can only describe as gravel? Lovely wine, sad it is my last one.

Very disappointed with this bottle. Yes it's old, but it was dead. Funky and tasted much more like an old California wine than an old Italian.

Hoping others are better, I have 4 more...

Surprisingly still very much alive. Although you will not mistake it for a high quality Barolo reminded me more of an entry level Barolo/Barbaresco or even a nice Nebbilo d'Alba. At 13.6% alcohol it does not stand out but adds just a hint of heat on the finish. Very earthy nose, but also some dried red fruit. I wish that more Central Coast producers made Nebbiolo.

Good enough that I went out and foud more at auction...

2001 Feudi di San Gregorio Irpinia Serpico

Aglianico more

11/27/2023 - kdubler wrote: NR

Every time I drink this wine I wonder why Aglianico is not more popular. This was both powerful, and delicate at the same time. At 22 years old it still drank like a baby, likely could have lasted another 10-20 years. Red and black fruit with a smoky edge like grilled meat. Absolutely fantastic

I think the note saying musky is a good explanation. Bruised apple aromas, very herbal, almost rosemary. Dry with medium to elevated acidity. I thought it was so much fun to drink, but I can say it is not a style for everybody.

Exactly what I want out of a Savennières. Dry with so much going on. Amazing depth that could go with so many foods. Elevated acidity, which has been mellowed with age, but still lifts the wine and keeps it fresh. Loved it!

2007 Beck-Hartweg Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives

Alsace Gewürztraminer more

2/16/2022 - kdubler wrote: NR

First of 6 bottles I purchased. I'm not a big Gewurztraminer fan, but thought it would be fun to have more Vendanges Tardives so I bought a 6 pack. Nose on this is very expressive, with Dried apricot, peaches, honeysuckle and just potpourri. The acid is medium to low, but enough to balance it out somewhat. Would be great with a fruit dessert or cheese, but could also work with some savory dishes. Delicious, and I'm happy to have more.

2005 Mélanie Pfister Pinot Noir

Alsace more

2/16/2022 - kdubler wrote: NR

When we first opened this wine it was tight and was not showing much. We left it sitting in the bottle cork off for about two hours before we got back to it. By that time it had come alive. Kirsch and Strawberry on the nose with a dusty clay like tannin. Finish was medium length. Closer to Bourgogne than most German Pinot Noirs I have had. '05 was warm so that likely helped this wine, but it was easily my favorite Alsatian Pinot Noir I've had.

Popped and poured. Really nice acidic streak with an obvious lemon note. Medium body with just a small hint of an almost phenolic bitter note. Slight herbal edge as well. This is delicious. Absolutely loved it, happy to have a magnum waiting to be drank as well.

Had with a Shrimp Pasta dish with fresh Basil and Mint and it was perfect.

12/31/2021 - kdubler wrote: NR

This wine had mixed reviews. While all agreed it had a ton of depth, it still had so much tannin. Nose was a bit surprising, almost smelled sweet, but on the palate a complete bruiser. If you like Amarone these are a must try. Not as beautiful as the Bordeaux blend from the evening, but just such a powerhouse it was something special

2nd from a 4 pack purchased, and this one drank much better. Had a gravelly and graphite aroma that made me think of Bordeaux, but also had something that was so Italian, would have been hard to place blind, but either way it drank perfectly! Many peoples wine of the night

Purchased a few at auction, this was my first time opening one. This is a polished bold red with great depth. Red and black fruit, with medium acid and tannins. Not a beast of a wine in size, but just layers and layers of fruit. A tryout wonderful wine. Potential the wine of the night, but had so many others with age, it’s hard to compare

2016 Ca' dei Zago Prosecco Col Fondo

Glera more

12/9/2021 - kdubler wrote: NR

This wine is difficult to give a proper tasting note. My first experience with a "Col Fondo" Prosecco

One in the group described it as "wild" and I feel that is the best description possible. When first opened it was aggressive, sour, very aromatic and, well wild. After being open for 15-20 minutes it calmed down a good amount, but this is not for everyone. Has a slight beer or hard cider feel to it. We had this with Garlic Herb Escargot and it actually worked very well. Almost a salty lemon taste to the wine cut through the fatty buttery snails perfectly.

One of the other tasters said it reminded them of a Sparkling Chenin, and I can see that, especially if is a funky Chenin.

2013 Il Macchione Vino Nobile di Montepulciano

Sangiovese more

12/9/2021 - kdubler wrote: NR

When I first removed the cork I was a little worried, it almost had a weird slime on it, but the wine was sound.

Tannins are still quite tight and acid is elevated. Fruit is in the background, but more of a style then over the hill, in fact I'd say it has years ahead of it. Hints of fresh herbs and almost just a touch of VA, I find it adds to the wine, but some may find it distracting.

Group as a whole loved it, glad to have more to watch it's journey over the next few years.
