2007 Sequana Vineyards Pinot Noir Sarmento VineyardSanta Lucia Highlands more |
9/12/2010 - DesertDogESQ wrote: 88 points34th birthday wine. Santa Lucia is one of out favorite non-burgundy pinot regions. Very dark and brooding, with tobacco, tea, burnt toast, and huge notes of bacon fat on the nose. Long, somewhat indistinctive taste (too hot in the alcohol department). Taste of chocolate-coated Bacon, tea, and some dark fruits. The alcohol is a bit fatiguing, but still a decent wine. |

3/14/2009 - DesertDogESQ wrote: 90 pointsVillage wine drinking very well right now. Nice, spicy nose, with hints of green pepper, red pepper, mint, and tart cherry. Very nice flavor, with tart cherry, spice, rose petals. Very intense for a Village level wine. Marvelous effort. |

2002 Domaine Bertagna Vougeot 1er Cru Clos de la PerrièrePinot Noir more |
2/20/2009 - DesertDogESQ wrote: 96 pointsNot sure if I got the right bottle at the right time, but this baby just sung to me on Valentine's Day. Beautiful rose and lavender, dried bacon grease, black cherry, cigar on the nose. Nice dark fruit, smoke, tobacco, and earth in the mouth. Perfect texture in the mouth. Only weakness is that the length is not incredible, just normal. This wine is why I love burgundy, subtle, complex, and wave after wave of drinking pleasure. Given the other reviews, I hesitate to give it the score I did, but it was truly an extraordinary wine the night I had it. |
