Bright medium crimson-ruby color. Sweet ripe raspberries and strawberries with a black earth undertone on the nose. Similar notes on the wine, which is excellent. Long sweet red berry finish.

Drinking beautifully now on the pop n’pour. Dusty blackberry, black cherry, crème de violette, cardamom, and mocha on the nose. Lovely balance of dark berry fruit and savory herbal character on the palate, with a core of graphite minerality. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity and gentle mouthcoating tannic grip, this has some structure still to keep going a few years but may be better to drink on the sooner side to still enjoy the primary fruit notes.

Un tres grand pinot gris. Nez tres pur, ciselé, cristallin, mineral, une pointe de petrolé. En bouche, pas de sucre, une grande précision, une longue ginale, on r connait bien le pinot gris, mais taillé pour la longue garde. En finale, la malo apporte un coté pâtissier, qqc qui rapelle la signature Tissot en Jura. Première de trois… certainement un infanticide, mais que de bonheur. On se dit à dans 10 ans…

Well past its prime now, but has traded fruit for complexity. Mostly mineral notes. Good acid and structure.

Popped and poured. Golden and cloudy. Nose of mushrooms and, now that I see the reference in a note below, clear ginger bug. The palate is sour and funky, but golden fruity, also touched by that spice that I’m now unable to call anything but ginger. The finish is a bit on the VA side, and not the longest, but this went incredibly well with really funky delicious porky bratwurst brought over from the Forest Pork Store on Long Island… a reminder of my days in grad school devouring those wursts with whatever funky beer or natural wine I could get my hands on.

I gave the bottle an hour of air before I poured a glass and it was pretty tight. It improved after another hour and then I capped it and left a glass's worth for the following day, in which there was no payoff. I might be in the minority here, but I feel this should be saved for another couple years.

Medel rubin, mycket genomskinligt. Tunna gardiner (13,5 procent).
Medelstor doft med hallonkärnor och körsbär, varm gråsten. Lite mjölkchoklad och en gnutta kaffesump.
Inte så fylligt men bra drag i smaken. Röda bär igen, smultron, hallon. Mild mjölkchoklad, en puff läder. Polerade tanniner, märks bara fram i munnen. Skumt.
Medellång eftersmak med både fruktsötma och liten bitterhet. Ett ljuvt farväl.

Purchased off the wine list at Little Pearl,Key West. White gold. Nose of flinty stone, apple core, citrus. Poised layers of detailed grapefruit and apple fruit accompanied by crisp, dry stony notes on the palate. Lovely acidity and pliant texture. Interesting and delicious, providing a lovely counterpoint to the outstanding food courses of our meal.

Mörk rubin. Knappt genomskinligt, oerhört tätt. Medelgardiner (14,5 procent).
Medelstor doft med både röda och blå bär. Sandelträ, vått grus och garrigue. Lite mjölkchoklad och läder.
Medelfylligt och knappt så syrligt. Polerade men tydliga tanniner med stjälkig beska. Blåare än röda bär. Halvdan balans mellan fruktsötma och den där beskan. Aningen kokt frukt tar ner det hela. Hyfsat lång eftersmak med frukt och en beska som tar befälet. Känns lite stökigt i all sin saftighet. Behöver nog en matbit. Vi testar med anka.

Medel gyllene. Medelgardiner (12,5 procent).
Stor söt doft med citrus, honung och lite tropisk frukt. Lite blommigt. Fresia? Vete fan. Aning brynt smör.
Snustorrt trots den yppiga doften. Men ändå fylligt. Hög syra. Citrus och honung. Lite av den där hinten av brynt smör/popcorn.
Lång eftersmak med citrussyrlighet.

Decanted (very little sediment) and consumed immediately over several hours in a Grassl Cru. Drank well from the start. Intense somewhat exotic nose lots of spice and brambles. Palate is a classic Barolo profile. I found it quite giving for an ‘06. Lots of fruit left and not overly tannic. Clearly lots of life ahead, but drinking nicely today.

5/13/2024 - Delund Likes this wine:

Popped and poured, cellar temperature. Light garnet color. Aromatic nose of cherry, cedar and wet earth, hint of tar. Light body, light tannins with a persistent grip. No noticeable heat, any oak is well-integrated at this point. Light pleasant acidity. Tart cranberry fruit on the palate, with a bit of savory strawberry and sweet raspberry, a touch of (white pepper?) spice. Lingering finish. Food-friendly. Still has a few years ahead. Very quaffable, good QPR.

This is big, modern, yet identifiably Nuits. Dark cherry, sweeter than many, oak quite evident on nose. palate shows oak more. Not a lot of structure, and seems quite simple. Seems almost off-dry - especially in comparison to a Gevrey. From a half bottle, so... could be that. A bit of heat. Long finish.

My first spottswoode but definitely not my last. If this is what a “bad” vintage tastes like I’m more than happy to wait (and enjoy)my 09,18’s and 19’s I have in the cellar. Tons of cherry fruit and some earthy undertones made for a lovely bottle of wine. Decant of 2-3 hours and it was beautiful all night.

Nose full of black currant, strawberries, chocolate, and earl grey tea. Beautifully smooth texture. Very approachable. Notes of Cherries, pomegranate, toffee, and strawberry rhubarb pie to taste. Great time to open if you've got one.

Not a far cry from the so-called "Cuvée YL" bottling of the same vintage, but I get shades of coconut and watermelon here along with the peach and strawberry. Great minerality. This producer makes superb rosés.

Dark Red, black berries aromas and at taste. Round and long finishing. It pairs well with strong taste food, like blue and gorgonzola cheese and Steak au Poivre.

Easy drinking entry level burgundy with good tension, nose and acidity. The tannins need to resolve a little bit but in general nice entry level Vosne with carasterictic spices and fruit.

I like it but only with food, especially tomato-based dishes. The friendly acidity of this wine marries well with tomato sauce. Notes of barely-ripened strawberries and cherries. The finish is alcoholic (not good); no complexity there. The problem with this wine is it is over-hyped on the back of the bottle: from the same estate as Haut-Brion, touted as elegant and complex...it just doesn't live up to the hype. It's a $20 wine, not a $60+ wine. As Wine Cellar Insider Jeff Leve points out, it's an ideal wine for a restaurant (Italian restaurant especially): not complicated, approachable, goes well with the food, but put it on the lower half of the price scale.

A refreshing French take on Sauv. Blanc after our heavy concentration on California versions in recent months. Apples, lemon zest and creek stones. A touch of toast and an ever-so-slight sparkle when first uncorked. Very concentrated and sure to reward those of us with patience. We loved this. Drink now to 2028. Outstanding.

Rich rosé color. Intriguing strawberry nose. From tasting I would never have guessed this a Pinot Gris. A bit of haziness due to no fining or filtering. Quite soft, even slightly sweet. But great flavor and perfect with Moroccan spiced chicken. Perhaps an important message: More Pinot Gris/Pinot Grigio should be produced with skin contact!

Didn’t know what to expect from this given the bottle age, but perhaps thanks to the screwcap it’s still fresh, though without quite the sharp edges I recall from youth. Paired well with Ottolenghi chard fritters served alongside miso roasted salmon. I have several more of the 2017 along with some more recent purchases (2022, I think). Terrific value and a delicious wine.

A little bit cheesy and leesy to begin with. Really opened up in the glass to show a touch of the exotic. The palate was deep and wide and had a refreshing saline mineral quality to it. So sappy and long, with great chew.
