(Mas de Boislauzon Châteauneuf-du-Pape) Dark purple violet color; higher pitched, ripe and spicy cherry and berry nose with some caramel oak notes, opens to more spicy plum nose after 40 minutes; concentrated spicy plum palate with graphite, needs a few years; medium-plus finish

(Mas de BOISLAUZON) List Dear Friends, A few interesting wines have appeared before the weekend takes hold - we have an especially good price on the Bollinger and the Boislauzon wines are among the best of the entire 2006 vintage. Enjoy the weekend - - Jon Rimmerman *************************** Friday Focus Wine: ONE SHIPMENT ONLY at this price - about the same as in Europe directly from the source with perfect provenance: 2003 Bollinger "by Bollinger" (RP95) STRICT LIMIT 12/person This wine has received a great deal of chatter recently after Parker's 95pt assessment on his Asian foray (documented on his web site). I believe this was one of the highest rated bottles of Champagne on his entire trip (and he tasted top bottles left and right, every night). Called a "white burgundy with bubbles" this Champagne is idiosyncratic, eccentric and one of a kind - that's why they named it as such ("by Bollinger" instead of just another Grande Annee). Controversial? Maybe but there is a huge contingent out there that could drink this every night. Batard mixed with a ripe Clos du Mesnil? If you close your eyes, it's possible. This is not the Grande Annee - "by Bollinger" is the winery's top cuvee in 2003. **************************** 2003 La Ca Nova Barbaresco "Bric Mentina" (this is not Valfieri) This wine will surprise a lot of you - very intense and packed with flavor but ready to drink now and over the next several years. Cru-level Barbaresco at a good price while you wait for your 2001's and 2004's... 2006 Mas de Boislauzon Chateauneuf du Pape LIMIT 12/person 2006 Mas de Boislauzon Chateauneuf du Pape "Tintot" EXTREMELY LIMITED This is the crown jewel in 2006, a 100% Mouvedre cuvee that has been like pulling teeth for me to obtain even a few bottles. Only a few dozen cases for the entire US... 2006 Mas de Boislauzon Chateauneuf du Pape "Cuvee de Quet" Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Champ7600 Italy7709 Rhone6610 Rhone6620 Rhine6630

What a pleasant surprise. 4 bottle out of 6, and the first i have truly enjoyed. Fully integrated tanins, no alcoholic Burn. Just Nicely evolved cdp. Drink up though.

-- Coravin-ed --
-- tasted non-blind over a couple hours --
NOSE: expressive; red-fruited; leathery; garrigué/CdP goodness!; cherry/raspberry cordial; grape soda after a couple hours.
BODY: lots of fine particulate matter present; impenetrable blood red color of great depth; medium-full bodied.
TASTE: bitter; medicinal red fruits; alcohol stands-out a lot; the alcohol presence makes this tough to like; a difficult conundrum here: this is ageing nicely as far as the aromatics go, but seems to be progressing poorly with respect to flavor; this did improve over the course of a couple hours (in the glass, and, I suppose, my palate getting used to the wine), but it nonetheless remained quite alcoholic. Hopefully this is in an awkward stage right now.
50, 5, 13, 13, 6 = 87
update: pulled the cork last night (5/30/18). Immediate drain pour. Oxidized. And the wine underneath the oxidation still wasn't good, either. Maybe 5 weeks was too long to let this sit after the Coravin? Maybe I didn't use enough gas when using the Coravin?

Served with pan fried rib eye, squash, and popovers.
Decanted 30 minutes prior to service.
Deep, dark crimson/garnet, purple at the rim.
Earthy, dusty nose, very dark fruit.
Tannins remain, but not dominant, dry, moderate acid, mushrooms with the earthiness, and as noted elsewhere a touch of coffee.
Needs more depth of flavor, and length of finish, to crack into 90 territory.

Fairly dark red. Intense aged Rhone nose, dark fruit, roasted meat, pepper, earthy cherry, and thyme. Delicious dry peppery black cherry flavours and a perfect in balance finish.
Just what I love in a Southern Rhone wine but lately have not always found.

70% Grenache 30% Mourvèdre
Espresso coffee, sweet cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, big tannin still, with detectable acid structure (surprisingly especially for CdP). Superb wine. Will hold for 5 more years but I wouldn't wait beyond that. 91.
