2012 Domaine Louis Max Mercurey 1er Cru Les Vasées
8/9/2015 - Vintjener Likes this wine: 89 Points
Lovely broad and complex nose. Shows ripe strawberries, herbal tea, an earthy rusticity and flowers. The wine has good structure - both regarding acidity and tannins. The tannins has a hint of green, which is the main reason it does not get 1 point or 2 more. The fruit is fresh, and everything screams youth. This wine is a very good Mercurey, and a very good Burgundy. It still needs a couple of years to reach maturity, but it drinks well now, but it is not the most obvious choice. Therefore it is all the more interesting. Domaine Louis Max is all organic, unlike their Negos wines.

2013 Merum Priorati Priorat Inici
7/27/2015 - Vintjener Likes this wine: 86 Points
It is a lovely nose, with lots of fresh fruit - raspberry, rose petals and a hint of anise. In the mouth the wine is still quite lean. The acidity is medium and just enough to balance the fresh if not overtly intense fruit. It is a really well made wine, and the style is refreshing. No cooked elements - just freshness. It is slightly peppery, but the red fruit is still predominant. There is a good length if not very complex. Still a lovely little priorat.

2010 Château Jacques Blanc
12/17/2014 - Vintjener Likes this wine: 90 Points
Wonderfully elegant nose. Fresh bramble, Black pepper, ink, tyme and West seems to be Graves-like minerality. In the mouth it has refreshing acidity, and amble tannins and a bitter bite. The green pepper note is obvious, but really refreshing. It has lovely grip, and the finish is longer than it is complet, but High level.
