DSG 10/2023. 70% Pinot Noir from Bisseuil and 30% Chardonnay

Concentrated and precise champagne, full of spices, just right to give comfort. Tangerine and peach flavors. Chardonnay gives this extra depth and length which makes it a fresh and digestible champagne.

Light bodied Chenin with good acidity and lanolin feel to it. Greener flavours to this one , the note below has nailed it. crowd pleaser :)

DSG 10/2023. Grapes from Mareuil, Oiry and Chouilly mainly.

Tasty champagne, lemon zest and wet stone. Tracing but not boring, surprisingly supple for a recent disgorgement, it’s a nice introduction.

Juicebomb in its prime youth. Wouldn't hurt to lay it down for at least another 5 years but it seems old enough to hang.

Color: deep garnet with some transparency. Nose: Strawberry, raspberry, violet, dry pebbles , and black spices. Palate: medium to low unstructured tannins, with square shaped very high acidity, with finely powdered texture. Aromatically a spicy red, but structurally works as a white substitute - effectively resets any dishes with sweet deep body like soy/sake based Japanese stews or rich tuna sashimi with soy sauce.

Almost 2 years to the day since my last bottle. Pnp straight from the cellar. This is aging well and is in a beautiful spot now, with the nose having opened up and the palate no longer showing the effervescence that I recalled from before. This is an elegant, tasty wine, with complexity and a long finish. I recommend drinking this at cellar temp. This should easily last through 2034.

First time trying a Kerner wine. Good balance similar to what I'd expect of a Riesling but maybe less sweet and less acidic. Enjoyed with a spicy stir fry.

Beautiful wine. Much fuller and warmer vs 2007 and 2006 (hallmark of 2009). But still some aromatics. Tanins are there but well integrated.

Notes of cured meat, red fruits and spices. Silex in the finish. Would recommend. Ready now. Enjoy!

Day 2: Very concerned about this shipment from WTSO. Had a Stangeland that was just not good and this wine while young should be much better on day 2 so no score. Watered down, Chesnuts, muted fruits and spice. Some earth on the finish. No rating.

Seemed pretty tight on the pop 'n pour and it fleshed out a bit as the evening went on. Still, this never really fully unwound, even the next evening (I saved about a glass under vacu-vin). Compared to the 2015 version I tried a few days earlier, this seemed more structured, with less fruit presence, but still Au Bon Climat-like. As I described the 2015, this seemed like an Au Bon Climat Pinot with a RRV flavor profile (which it is!). And that's a very good thing. I still think this needs a bit more time to flesh out. Note to self - wait until 2027+ to open the next bottle.

Dark and red berries in the beautiful bouquet with beautiful oak and some chocolate. On the palate juicy red and dark berries and a firm amount of good and fresh acidity and sticky tannin. Classical and very beautiful complex wine with still a great future until 2035+. For now 92 – 93+.

More intense than Phelan Segur 2009 in the same flight. Beautiful dark berries and fresh notes in the bouquet. On the palate blackberries and cherries, bell pepper, cedar, juicy and good acidity and still firm tannin. Textbook St. Estephe and really beautiful, but still too young. Waiting another decade will probably be rewarding. 93++

This was used to be my go to Prosecco, but this vintage is so disappointing. The primary flavours are lacking and weak, I could only get very simple flavours of some green fruits, and there's an unpleasant bitterness in it if not well chilled. Can't believe this is a Valdobbiadene Prosecco.

Superb American sparkler. Among the best I have ever tasted. I am recording 4 months after it was consumed, so cannot provide any further details.

It took a loooong time for this to open up. Mostly red-fruit driven profile with tobacco, herbs and some minerality. It felt somewhat 'vintage' and I'm not sure that's the right description but seemed like an old wine even though just a 2010. I bought this on a whim from B-21 as it had a good year and the price was very decent for an aged Bordeaux. Admittedly I don't know anything about the producer - maybe I should have done some research first. Wine was good and enjoyable but not my favorite style.

Value: I paid $59.00 and I would say there's plenty of other options at that level I'd prefer

Would I buy again: maybe - it's possible this wine needs still more time to develop

Score: 90 points - good wine

Beautiful bouquet with cherries and berries like e.g. blackberries, a bit herbaceous and a pleasant dose of oak. On the palate juicy acidity and some green impressions, beautiful acidity and tannin. The wine is in its young maturity stage and already very tempting with definitely 3+ years of future ahead.

The bouquet is still a bit reticent but shows dark and red berries, beautiful oak and cigar box flavors. On the palate dark and red berries, some bell pepper, juicy and beautiful acidity and a slight, pleasant touch of sweetness in the finish. Still in its early youth. Will probably show more finesse round 2030.

Lovely and very high quality wine, not an easy drinking though, very rich, complex, not sure regarding VFM🥺

Cloudy not very dark red color.

Medium body. Medium plus acidity. Well noticeable tanines. Not very smooth.

Lovely aromatic, barrels, terroir, spices, red fruits, spices👏

Same mixture on the palate, in a quite intensive way: oak, coconut, baking chocolate, leather, earthy, cinnamon, ginger, anise, pepper, licorice, cherry, raspberries, strawberries, cranberries 👏

Not sure this wine suits me but 🍷👏🍷

My first time trying this vintage, and I’m enjoying this. Herbs and red fruit on the nose, good acidity on the palate, and pretty tasty. Not the most complex wine, but an honest, true to form, Chianti Classico.

Nice well balanced and tasteful wine. It has a touch of sweetness more that I think it should have but that may still be influence from the big fruitiness. Dry on the back pallet in the middle and on the mouth in the finish. Has not changed much since it was initially released.

With all the Paso wines in this price range it seems a rather ho-hum wine. A bit sweet and a good bit of fruit. Acidity was showing and that probably caused the wine to be in less-than-perfect balance

Nose initially came across as a little closed. It’s certainly not an open, giving, aroma but it is quite complex and interesting with quite potent herbal, nutty, and slightly mineral notes. A bit unusual and hard to pint down - raw peanuts, mixed with raw sage and lemon rind? Some slightly more floral notes start to come through with air and increasing temperature.

Quite dense and powerful on the palate. Compact, with intense flavours which bring more fruit to the party than is found on the nose. Quite sweet and tropical but not in a cloying way, a slightly salty finish. Sage coming through too. Structure is all in check and the length is there, this can stand up to big-ish flavours.

It’s somehow not the easiest wine for me to love, but I respect it! Very well made and interesting, commands attention.
