  June 23, 2021 - Corton Rouge Burgs on a Summer Night (Martina, Mpls): Light medium red color with a 5mm orange margin. Drank two glasses from Magnum over 2 hours. Same bottle as Chablis28. This was a beautiful expression of Corton in all its wonderfully aged glory. Textbook iron and blood, dried rose petals, porcini mushroom, red cherry, dried earth and boullion resonates on the nose. The palate is equally blissful with its maturity and class shining brightly; beefy, tart red cherry, dried cherry, iron, blood meal, dired leaves, mushroom dust, soy, and fine grained tannins on a lengthy finish. This was a prisitine example of aged Burgundy magnified by the magnum format. Just a sheer joy to experience - thanks for sharing this Steve and Candie.

  June 23, 2021 - This was the clear star of the evening in a nice line up that also include a '02 Bouzereau Corton, a '94 Tollot Beaut Corton, a '03 Louis Latour Corton & my '08 Michel Gaunoux Corton Renardes. Our group rarely attempts verticals due to holes in some of my buddies cellars. Tonight, everyone was able to pull it off and it was both fun and informative. This '82 old vine Corton Monopole was sublime. Full of btl age patina & resonance. Not unlike playing a soulful late 40s Gibson flat top. And yet, well fruited & teeming with life & energy. We likely have the age worthy Mag format & terroir to thank! This was flat out a beautiful wine from a local cellar. If ever, "ethereal" applies as a descriptor, it does here. Tertiary aromatics of iron, porcini, forest floor and dried flowers. The palate is so inviting & resolved with more iron, dark raspberry, cherry, mushroom, tea & forest floor. Both weightlessly rich, and precise. This might have been the only red to be completely emptied tonight? Too many mags get opened way too early. This is one the very few I've experienced where the wine is at its zenith. Phenomenal texture & placidity! Loved it! Thanks Siggy & Candace!

  August 16, 2013 - Burgundy v Bordeaux - Cellartracker (La Trompette, W4): Medium bricking in the glass, a lovely nose and step up from the 89 Potel. A touch of sweetness on the edges, a fantastic wine.
