5/16/2022 - 5laton wrote: NRFirst time tasting these late released gems from Tarlant, this one is 70% chardonnay and 30% pinot noir fermented in barrel. Malolactic was "not provoked", whatever that means. Disgorged March 26, 2018 -- 12 years on the lees -- and no dosage added. |

11/11/2022 - 5laton wrote: NRPowerful and interesting, spiced apple cider style, but for my preferences it's an odd combination of high (perceived) dosage and strong oxidative/secondary development. For this style I need bone dry like Egly; this lacks drinkability for me. |

2015 Jérôme Chezeaux Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les SuchotsPinot Noir more |
10/18/2018 - 5laton wrote: NRLes Suchots tasting (The Wolf): Riper, flatter nose than the 2010 Bouchard Suchots with some developing vitamin pill, also a ripe strawberry fruit character that reminds me a bit of grenache. Rather structured, with some green stem notes. I don't really care for this today and blind might have guessed a more elegant southern Rhone. A disappointing showing. My 8/8 |

2010 Bouchard Père et Fils Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les SuchotsPinot Noir more |
10/18/2018 - 5laton wrote: NRLes Suchots tasting (The Wolf): Very pretty, crystalline red fruit nose. Really nice juicy palate with sweet red fruits and nice fresh acidity. Some nice spicy notes in the background. This is a fuller bodied, textural wine. My 3/8 |

10/18/2018 - 5laton wrote: NRLes Suchots tasting (The Wolf): Classic spicy, red fruit nose with a hint of alcohol. The palate feels a bit acid deficient, although it could be related to serving temperature. My 5/8 |

2010 Domaine Francois Lamarche Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les SuchotsPinot Noir more |
10/18/2018 - 5laton wrote: NRLes Suchots tasting (The Wolf): Spicy but slightly muddled nose with some lift. Juicy palate with sweet route fruit but not a ton of complexity yet. But there is some subtle spice starting to emerge. Feels young but promising. My 4/8 |

2006 Sylvain Cathiard Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les SuchotsPinot Noir more |
10/18/2018 - 5laton wrote: NRLes Suchots tasting (The Wolf): Sweet red fruit nose. Nice palate of perfectly ripe red fruit and subtle spice. Sexy, but with good freshness too. I really liked this, a success for the vintage. My 2/8 |

2006 Domaine Robert Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les SuchotsPinot Noir more |
10/18/2018 - 5laton wrote: NRLes Suchots tasting (The Wolf): Darkly ripe nose, Priorat like. Sweet dark fruit palate. This is a big modern wine with licorice notes. This got a bit better with air but was not one of my favorites today. My 7/8 |

2007 J. Confuron-Cotetidot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les SuchotsPinot Noir more |
10/18/2018 - 5laton wrote: NRLes Suchots tasting (The Wolf): Quite cloudy appearance. Strongly developed nose, actually worrying. Palate also developed, awkward, stinky, showing some heat - perhaps served too warm. As it sits it starts to come together but I didn't love it. My 6/8 |

1998 Domaine Robert Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les SuchotsPinot Noir more |
10/18/2018 - 5laton wrote: NRLes Suchots tasting (The Wolf): Really nice. Developing, exciting, fresh, spicy. This kind of has it all for an adolescent Suchots. Doesn't show the density or tannins I might expect in this vintage. Toasted coffee bean / cacao notes as it warms. My 1/8 |

2/25/2022 - 5laton wrote: NRThis comes across as fairly simple, and the sweetness sticks out. It's a disappointment compared to Pascal's other 2008 Coeur releases, which I've loved. The Mesnil was precocious and hedonistic about a year ago; the Vertus was delightful and elegant last week. |

2017 Marguet Champagne Grand Cru BouzyChampagne Blend more |
9/4/2022 - 5laton wrote: NRImpressive brassy color, but the wine is very light and citric. This is usually a big-boned wine with big bass notes, so this is concerning and potentially meh. But with air an intriguing note of burnt orange peel appears on the nose, giving me hope there is more there there. |

5/24/2022 - 5laton wrote: NRAt Nostrana. This showed far younger and less evolved than previous bottles, which came from a friend's passive SF cellar. Love this wine but from a cold cellar it still needs 3 to 5 years for my preferences, minimum. |

2016 Marguet Champagne Grand Cru AmbonnayChampagne Blend more |
5/17/2022 - 5laton wrote: NRQuite excited to finally taste the home cru in this vintage. As expected it's initially rather shrill and a bit beer-y with foam. Left alone in the glass for a bit, a heartbreakingly pretty perfume of perfectly ripe golden delicious apple (that honeyed floral thing the real tree-ripe fruit has) and light caramel appears. The palate is tricky but hints at the promise of the palate. Quite promising, and I look forward to following this over several days. |

3/18/2022 - 5laton wrote: NRAnother delicious bottle of this, thanks JC. This no longer shows the delightful in-your-face fruit and upfront bass notes it had on release, and now wears its village level pedigree more comfortably. I preferred it several years ago but it's still delicious and may still have somewhere new to go with a few more years of development. |
