2021 Elvio Cogno Langhe Nascetta Anas-CettaLanghe DOC more |
3/25/2024 - bajayngo wrote: NRA wonderfully complex wine that starts off with sesame seed, and other pungent herbs, followed by stone fruit and layers of minerality and pithiness. Sneaky acids on the finish in the most pleasant way. Became more and more complex as it opened up. |

2015 Domaine Overnoy-Crinquand Ploussard Arbois Pupillinmore |
12/21/2023 - bajayngo wrote: NRPloussard as quickly becoming one of my favorite Lesser known varietals. I love the light presents on the pallet, the high toned florals on the nose, the cool complexities of pepper and flowers, and almost a fruit leather essence. But so easy to drink, and even better a little chilled. |

2005 Joseph Phelps InsigniaNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/25/2023 - bajayngo wrote: NRAbsolutely in a perfect place and a stunning bottle to drink. Everything you want from Napa. Lush fruit but tamed with age, that beautiful Napa mint, cedar box.

2014 Elizabeth Chambers Cellar Pinot Noir Temperance HillEola - Amity Hills more |
11/25/2023 - bajayngo wrote: NRNot the harsh tannins or tobacco leaf I’ve found in most Temperance Hill Pinots. More generous fruit here. Could be a disappointment if you wanted a bruiser but a nice Pinot just the same. |

2013 Château de la Crée Santenay 1er Cru Gravières BlancChardonnay more |
11/25/2023 - bajayngo wrote: NRPurchase six of these on a crazy closeout and pretty wild bottle variation. Some premox , some overwhelmingly reductive, and a couple bottles that were delicious aged white burgundy. Was worth the risk for the price. |

2014 François Chidaine Montlouis-sur-Loire Les BournaisChenin Blanc more |
11/25/2023 - bajayngo wrote: NRLove how each different bottling from Chidain is a different expression as not all line ups do. Some riper orchard fruit with the classic honey, white flowers & wax but maybe a little more sappy fruit than others. |

11/25/2023 - bajayngo wrote: NRAlways a different animal than the Corte A & B. Much more herb driven and vintage variable. All in a good with. Shows how the well sourced fruit is more of a window to the terroir and vintage. Still enough fruit to keep it from going to herbaceous. Always nice with a little chill on it too. |
