4/19/2024 - WhiskySomm Likes this wine: 92 pointsA touch reductive and needed some air to open up but absolutely delightful and will still improve for several more years. |

2/29/2024 - WhiskySomm Likes this wine: 94 pointsWOW! Lemon, yellow apple, green apple, tart red berries, mineralogy, and some lees. A lot happening here and not really a time or place for critical direction of the wine, but easily the best balanced and most nuanced with concentration, depth, and intensity. |

2/29/2024 - WhiskySomm Likes this wine: 92 points50+ year old vines with minerality but ripe yellow apple and pear bordering on melon flavors with ample floral notes. Special and unique with a singularity that makes it very difficult to assess in a drive by tasting of this sort. |

2/29/2024 - WhiskySomm Likes this wine: 92 pointsLemon and green apple preserves on a croissant with waves of sea breeze in the air. Intensity and electricity here. The lees contact is extremely present but still shows balance and while very tight now this could easily be a 96 in ten years or so and my favorite of the line up. |

2/29/2024 - WhiskySomm wrote: 91 pointsGrafted onto old root stock and the limestone presence returns strongly here. Red berries pop with a bit of lemon, brioche, and chalky minerality. Tart orchard fruit and white berries with a savory and herbal spice. The lees presence is quite strong overall with very high, linear acidity and considerable upside for this wine in 5 to 7 years. |

NV Roses de Jeanne / Cédric Bouchard Champagne Blanc de Noirs Les UrsulesPinot Noir more |
2/29/2024 - WhiskySomm Likes this wine: 93 pointsThe most balanced and ready for early drinking on this occasion. Walking the line between red berries and white orchard fruit, like tart red apple, white strawberries, and blush pink cherries with minerality, toast points, blood orange, and sweet white flowers. |

2023 Roses de Jeanne / Cédric Bouchard Champagne Inflorescence Blanc de Noirs Côte de Val VilainePinot Noir more |
2/29/2024 - WhiskySomm Likes this wine: 90 points40-year-old vines, which is relevant here because the first mind bending aromas here are seaside minerality of oyster shell, crispy fried shrimp shells, and sea salted peanut husks with citrus acid and green apple (malic acid) notes that might have you thinking there is Chardonnay here. The weight and red berries on the palate obviously speak to Pinot Noir and are highlighted with a light herbaceous quality like strawberry tops. |

10/16/2022 - WhiskySomm Likes this wine: 92 pointsVibrant, fruit forward, and espressing both tart and ripe eed berries. Overall just youthful and should improve with age. Beautiful wine but there are so many other amazing Pinot producers from around the world. |

7/24/2022 - WhiskySomm Likes this wine: 93 pointsTook an hour or so of decanting to properly start to open up but very expressive florals notes lead by fresh rose petal and lavender followed by ripe and tart red berries. Especially delicious when paired with this braised boar. |

2015 Francesco Rinaldi e Figli Barolo CannubiNebbiolo more |
4/2/2022 - WhiskySomm Likes this wine: 93 pointsDecanted for 2 hours, paired with dinner at Osteria Langhe with several other wines and friends that are not focused wine drinkers, so attention was not totally locked in. Highly aromatic, rose pedals, ripe and tart red cherries, wet soil, fennel, fresh garden herbs, touch or oaky baking spice. Absolutely delightful. |

2017 René Cacheux et Fils Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les SuchotsPinot Noir more |
1/19/2022 - WhiskySomm Likes this wine: 90 pointsRed floral tones with raspberry and pomegranate from the time the cork was popped. Continued to open up and improve with touchs or savory herb, mushroom, and forest floor over the next two hours and then began to shut down for a bit. Off the menu a bit pricey for a current vintage pop and pour, but would like to have a few in my cellar to check out in another 5,10, and 15 years. |

2000 Gaja Langhe Alteni di BrassicaLanghe DOC Sauvignon Blanc more |
10/25/2020 - WhiskySomm Likes this wine: 89 pointsRich and opulent style of Sauvignon Blanc; white and yellow florals, citrus, white fruit, and berries. Golden color and some sediment, showing its age, but the nutty mildly oxidized notes balanced well with the fruit and floral characteristics with plenty of zip and acidity remaining. |

2015 Pierre Paillard Champagne Grand Cru Rosé Extra Brut Les Terres RosesChampagne Blend more |
1/25/2020 - WhiskySomm Likes this wine: 92 pointsRich Pinot Noir on the nose and palate, much fuller bodied than I would have anticipated for 3.5 g/L dosage. Strawberry and raspberry with green and red apple, meyer lemon, berry preserves on a buttered croissant. Plenty of acidity and overall delicious if perhaps a bit clipped on the finish. |

2010 Montevertine Le Pergole Torte Toscana IGTSangiovese more |
12/19/2019 - WhiskySomm Likes this wine: 95 pointsOn first opening the bottle intense aromatics of sour cherry, red fruits, savory herbs and a dusty mineral tone. Two hours of decanting and consumed slowly over another three hours. Already in an excellent place this wine was still very primary and fruit forward with a touch of secondary characteristics, and the structure to potentially improve a point or two with additional cellar time. Floral, fruit, savory herbs, leather, stony minerality, complex and hitting on every level. Ripe red cherry, candied cherry almost like cherry Starburst on the nose, black cherry, sour cherry, strawberry, raspberry, ripe tomato, basil, leather, tobacco, baking spice. High acid and highly tannic, but exceptionally well integrated and silky. Continues to be one of the finest examples of Sangiovese. |

2014 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Chassagne-Montrachet Les AncegnièresChardonnay more |
10/10/2019 - WhiskySomm Likes this wine: 92 pointsExtremely young, tight, and in need of multiple hours of decanting to blow off most (not all) of the reduction. More swirling and aeration in the glass is needed, but after that... wow!! An absolutely gorgeous wine. Crisp white orchard fruits, layers of apple and pear, creme brulee, minerality, herbs and baking spice, and layers of white florals. High acidity, rich body, long finish, and true depth and complexity on palate. Should get even better with another 5 to 10 years of age. |

1985 Weingut Bernhard Jakoby Erdener Treppchen Riesling SpätleseMosel Saar Ruwer more |
9/11/2019 - WhiskySomm Likes this wine: 85 pointsBottle funk for days and a lot of oxidative, tertiary notes; petrol, orange marmalade, marzipan, bruised red apple, forest floor. With air it becomes more honeyed, and a little tropical, particularly cantaloupe, but a touch of honeydew with white and yellow florals expressing themselves. Acidity is still ripping and the RS helps to add body. Likely on the wrong side of the bell curve, but still hanging on, and hell you only live once, and it was well worth a try. |

4/13/2019 - WhiskySomm Likes this wine: 94 pointsBeautiful example of Pinot Noir. Delicate, unobtrusive wine making that let's the varietal and terroir shine. And I am personally enamored with the use of local Oregon oak. Shows well while young, but needs air. Very excited to try this with age. |

2008 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La MoulineSyrah more |
3/20/2019 - WhiskySomm Likes this wine: 93 pointsDrank blind and would surely score a bit higher if given a decant. Better integration and balance of oak than I had expected; gamey, leather, peppered beef, herbs, waves of dark red and black fruit. Medium plus body, med+ smooth tannins, and great acidity. Wine of the night and tip of the cap (rib cap) to Jordan. This is what I love about Cote Rotie and I might prefer Guigal in these more restrained vintages. |
