2/27/23, 5:46 PM - Great description. Short and to the point. Just drinking it as I read your comment.
12/3/22, 9:13 PM - Firstly, these deserve a decade or two in the cellar. My tasting zone for this is 2030-2045. With aged wines, I tend to open them just before drinking and then watch them evolve in the glass, so you can assess their future life. As Mouline is, IMO, the most feminine of the 3 LaLas, it will usually require less time to express itself after opening. But don't think I am some LaLa expert. I'm not. I'm just reading the next page of the manual ahead of you...
12/3/22, 9:18 PM - La Turque and La Landonne
12/3/22, 9:29 PM - Depends on the year and your perspective. They are all powerful long living wines.
11/7/22, 11:13 AM - They certainly do. A wonderful wine.
4/4/22, 7:53 PM - Alan Meadows (Burghound) says begin drinking 2027. This still has youthful freshness, but the 2019 whites seem to be approachable young, though this does not mean they will not be with us for long, I expect.
2/16/22, 6:10 PM - I have come to value your comments, Jeremy. I find them to be more detailed than my own but looking from a similar viewpoint.
2/7/22, 4:30 AM - Thank you. Sadly my order for this wine got lost... Your comment had me make a note to keep an eye out for it.
12/19/21, 7:57 PM - She is now, but I do not believe so in 2015. And having tasted the lineup at the winery last year, she is but a shadow of her father as a winemaker. From that tasting, I only bought one wine.
12/19/21, 8:03 PM - They may benefit from 20 years of cellaring.
12/19/21, 8:20 PM - Wonderful. I have known their wines since about 1980. My life journey took me away from wine for 20 years or so, and I'm glad to be reconnected with Jasper Hill. May my experience that day be an aberration.Did you happen to make it to Beechworth and wonderful wines of Giaconda?
12/19/21, 8:28 PM - You have quite a cellar. Some similar interests to my own. I was also in IT for many years, though never a developer. Sales, marketing and general management. Today I run 2 globally growing businesses - www.thenanosoma.com and dpe100.com.
12/23/21, 4:03 PM - Beechworth is a town (like Heathcote) and Giaconda is a winery https://www.giaconda.com.au/ , run by my friend Rick Kinzbruner. Rick is a wonderful winemaker and many consider he makes the greatest Aussie chardonnay and his wines have a very European character. No longer making cabernet wines, he makes chardonnay, pinot, shiraz with a touch of Viognier and more recently Nebbiolo in foudres. I made this video https://youtu.be/4EAq3rcOHG4 after a visit there in 2018.I expect a significant fall in wine prices in a year or two and I plan to buy the GC Burgundies in the US. I will need to find someone to buy for me, given where I am.
12/5/21, 2:48 PM - I didn't. With older wines, I decant them and I watch them unfold in the glass. The most complex aromatics are highly volatile compounds and if the wine is low in acid, primarily, these can disappear quickly and you have missed much of the beauty. This drank well from the first moment and developed complexity as it went. I recommend you do the same. I shall be interested to read your notes on it.
11/29/21, 3:44 PM - Yes, mate...
10/27/21, 3:50 PM - Thank you. I also have those notes in "My Private Notes".Richard
3/4/21, 10:59 PM - You caught me out. I realised I hadn't made a note on this, though I drank it recently. I have another I have taken out of my cellar and I will make more complete and informative notes on it shortly. You prompt me to drink it in the next week or so.
1/1/21, 1:17 AM - $55 in 2017.
8/9/20, 4:35 PM - SRH, as per the comments, I tasted this with the winemaker, Adam Wadewitz. He said it was 100% malo. He probably should know... It was a marvelous tasting. Sadly, not possible inside the current COVID-19 psyop - for which I have a simple, proven treatment, for this and many other things that I will launch in the US next month.
8/9/20, 6:56 PM - Thank you, srh. I had never looked at that aspect of CellarTracker. Thank you for prompting me. You are clearly a very detailed man. If you are interested, you can find my (not my invention) piece of natural magic at www.thenanosoma.com
4/17/20, 2:46 PM - Yes, Tuscany. My bad.
4/30/20, 4:56 PM - Thank you for your feedback. I am not familiar with these wines and I can accept they could take a long time for them to come around. In my opinion, this emerging time will provide, for those who are able, the opportunity to buy the world's great wines with plenty of age on them for very little money. Prices will return to the equivalent of the 40s and 50s, albeit with the quality we see from modern winemaking. IMO, we are 3 or so years away from that. The data I see indicates we are entering a time that will be worse than the 1930s. Neither events were an accident, but that is another conversation for another place... Meanwhile, I am planning the layout of another bay in my cellar...
1/17/20, 9:37 AM - All of Clouet's fruit comes from Grand Cru vineyards. It is Grand Cru but not Grand Marque...
1/17/20, 10:06 AM - There are many grand cru Champagne vineyards. See this map https://fernandobeteta.com/maps/2018/11/27/interactive-map-of-champagne-grand-cru-and-premier-cru-communes
1/17/20, 10:28 AM - Champagne does not label like Burgundy does. You have to do more homework. However, I think I have demonstrated your premise that Le Clos is the only Grand Cru champers is fallacious. Read up on Andre Clouet and his family history. You will not doubt he is making Grand Cru fizz.This I my last comment back to you.
Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
