Pausing for the Cause Fundraiser and Dinner (Obelix - Chicago IL): From magnum alongside the Clos St Jacques. Reticent nose showcasing red and black cherry, much like the CSJ, but more explosive and assertive flavors, showing more richness, meat, and spice, with very good depth and density. Upside from here.

Pausing for the Cause Fundraiser and Dinner (Obelix - Chicago IL): From magnum alongside the Chambertin-Clos de Bèze. Ripe red and black cherries throughout gives this a plush start, then more reserved middle forward. Good depth and weight, nicely balanced now. At its peak. (42 views)

Need 3 hrs to open up with sufficient headroom in the bottle or a slim decanter.

Remains primary notes + much development makes this bottle a quite layered and perfumed one. It’s accurately made and typical lifted Pinot. Drink now, probably prime. (33 views)

From a bottle purchased early on, this wine looked great with a deep yellow center ad clear rims. The medium+ intensity nose took a while to come around. It showed citrus, white stone, and a little smoke. It still seemed a bit tight but was certainly in the zone.

As you would expect for a 96, this wine was quite crisp which covered up the fact that it was also rich and fruit driven. It had excellent length.

This was surprisingly good and verging on 95 points. It would probably have gotten there if I had given it 5 hours of decanting instead of only 3.

Impressive. (44 views)

A good example of an aged white burgundy that's well past its prime but not oxidized. Immaculate cork. Golden color, but not brown. No real fruit left, instead it's all vanilla and mint and cream and hazelnut. The palate lacks extract at this stage, but still has enough mineral crunch to offset the acid. No sherry/rancio flavors. Enjoyable for necroheads like me that like this sort of thing. (33 views)

Really big and creamy. While delicious, didn't quite taste like Chablis to me. But that was just a passing impression. (51 views)

By the glass at Vagabond, London. Nose is a little reticent and a little stalky, not giving much away. This belies the palate, which is cool and delicately-structured, showing juicy raspberries entwined with a fine vein of linear acidity that really propels the wine along and leaves the palate clean. The tannins here barely make themselves felt. A very pretty wine for short-term drinking. (32 views)

Pale gold color. PNP, split bottle over 2 hours. Gunflint, lemon, smoke, white flowers and aromatic dried bay leaf and limestone. The palate is medium bodied, driven, great cut and filled with dry extract, sour lemon, smoke, river rock, limestone, tarragon, gunflint, tart apple, white grapefruit, wood spice. Drinking great, and on a relative basis, aging glacially. 92+ to 93pts. (56 views)

Will this wine ever age? No signs of bricking; still quite youthful. Quite a bit of black fruits and spice. While not what I would expect from Beaujolais (too dark and roasted), it was fun to drink (88 views)

On the nose: white spring flowers, lemon, sweet grass. Very creamy on the palate, nutty, buttery, then transitions to dill on the finish. Paired perfectly with roasted Brussels sprouts and vegetarian stuffed mushrooms. Drinking beautifully now, could definitely cellar another 5 years. We have another we will keep till then. (32 views)

Very Good+
No notes, with a group casually. On PnP it seemed to lack fruit in the middle, but this filled in quickly and the bottle drank nicely. While not a stunner, it was down the middle in a good way - middle-range fruit, ripeness, acid, and finish.

This was fantastic. About 10 minutes in the glass then drank over about 90 minutes. Red cherry with a hit of raspberries on its Bueatiful nose. Pallet of sweet red fruit, a touch of almond and maybe licorice. Smooth, great mouthfeel and long finish. Wish I had bought a few more bottles. Everyone loved this. Might be the nicest burgundy i have had. Has aged well and is solidly in its prime drinking window. Absolutely loved this! (23 views)
