2010 Domaine Le Bout du Monde Côtes du Roussillon Avec le Temps

I just popped one of these and my immediate reaction was -- this is terrific. I'm reading the recent notes and I wonder if we're drinking the same wine. Mine was stashed away at Portland Wine Storage. For $19 from Garagiste -- this is in my perspective a rare home run.
I popped and poured into a burgundy glass -- and immediately the nose is terrific, the front palate & mid palate are well rewarded. I really like this wine and at this point in time I am not experiencing what other recent tasters have reported.

2007 Cameron Pinot Noir Gehrts Vineyard

Impressive. A crowd favorite on Thanksgiving. On the nose immediately shows as a Cameron with just a touch of trademark funk. On the palate plenty of fruit, balance, and length. Dark fruits with a bit of dirt and mushroom. Extra shitty!

2007 Grochau Cellars Pinot Noir Cuvée des Amis
11/19/2011 - stevenmiller wrote: 90 Points
The des Amis is one of my faves from the 2007 vintage. With time in bottle it's put on a lot of weight. I think John must have used some whole cluster since as compared to a lot of 07's this wine has a fairly strong tannic backbone. I've enjoyed this bottle over a few nights and it shows no signs of fading. Anyone who thinks of the 07 vintage of not having any muscle this wine.... well the des Amis has a strong backbone of fruit & tannins & acid and has significant potential to improve. Right now it's a bit of a brooding wine even on day 3. I'm in no hurry to pop another one. It needs time for the tannins to soften and to start to open up.
