2005 Puzelat-Bonhomme Pineau d'Aunis Touraine La Tesnièremore |
5/17/2023 - Putnam Weekley Likes this wine: 95 pointsThis bottle exemplifies the better half of the range of variation from this case. Black pepper-steeped elixir of green and black plum. One of its facets suggests something Northern Rhône. But it's more soft and pale than such a thing can be. I'm drinking it now after 24 hours open—a scrupulously defended portion. I could have expected disintigration, but am surprised to find it in peak bloom. Strawberry coulis, black tea concentrate. Tonnage of flagstone, tumbling and elastic. This is one of the finest wines I've ever drunk. I'm gladly drinking the sediment. |

10/2/2022 - Putnam Weekley Likes this wine: 94 pointsproper decanting helped this. Boosted, wilted rose, magnolia, and lilac suggestions lead to tense, dry grip. Fresh and singing, sweet berry draped over mineral and root. Toothy. Glycerin. Transparent. Spiced according to restrained court manners. Stand and decant, I urge you! |

3/11/2022 - Putnam Weekley Likes this wine: 91 pointsEYE: vibrant brick and blue. NOSE: subtle, raspberry coulis, Mexican chocolate. MOUTH: black pepper. Tannic. Exotic jam and glycerin is locked under bracing iron dust.* It's an eclipse allowing fruit and spice a noiseless background for etic perception—mirabelle plums, ceylon cinnamons, birch mints, kirsches. The biologically shocked condition of this bottle makes it all the more interesting with food—the sharp, mineral edge engages fat, clearing the way for insurgent, ripe, juicy, produce. |

It's sensational. Cleaner than I remember it. Chalky and red fruited - but it's so light and fresh and complex. Thrilling. Wish I had more. |

4/7/2018 - quaffnov Likes this wine: 91 pointsTwo hours of decant time, the nose is green olives and cranberry, with a palate that leans to the tart side with cranberry, olives and black tea. Medium mouthfeel with a medium length finish, this is a nice, savory version of malbec with a great QPR. |

3/15/2018 - cardsandwine Likes this wine: NR90 minute slo-o. Excellent wine. Terrific purity of the fruit on a balanced and terroir laden palate. Hint of spice also on the palate, with a soft and lengthy finish. Great QPR. |

6/29/2015 - forceberry wrote: 93 pointsLuminous pale green color. Very surprising, rich, intense and slightly sweet nose with aromas of wildhoney, sweet apple and some apple blossom - something very unlike Loire SB! The nose leads to a refreshing, structured and off-dry palate, although the slight sweetness is so integral part of the body it is impossible to say whether the wine is actually medium sweet or even bone dry with just incredibly rich, ripe fruit. Rich, complex flavors of honey, green apple, some grapefruit pith bitterness, stony mineralit and a hint of oxidative nuttiness. Lovely acid brightness. Quite robust and very long finish with pronounced nutty and oxidative, bruised apple notes, some sweet wildhoney, a little spice and a hint of funky, leesy and oxidative aromas of brioche and malt. |

6/21/2016 - Cescwine wrote: 89 pointsBit of funk and Earth to start things off, which settles down with surprisingly ripe fruit underneath. Raspberries and stewed cherry cola cloves. Reminds me a little of some Oregon pinots. Medium - body higher acid. Slight bitterness on the finish. Medium+ finish. This is nice just a touch too ripe |

1/9/2016 - dpihlain Likes this wine: 89 pointsMaybe a suggestion of VA here... But in our group this wine was more well-liked than I anticipated. Lovely texture if a touch acidic. There's a savoury, black olive-esque side as well as some pretty fruit. The tannins have softened over the last year or two and I daresay this wine might last another five. |

8/24/2015 - RichardP wrote: 86 pointsOn the nose, light apple cider vinegar. On the palate, apple cider, pear, a touch of lemon, and some honeyed sweetness, with the medium bubbles adding just enough acidity to balance it out. Good, but simple, and not worth the $20 price tag. |

5/16/2015 - drwine2001 wrote: NRSome Adventurous Loire Wines (SF Wine Trading Company): Medium ruby core, lighter edge. Wild aromatics of brettanomyces, herbs, graphite, and stewed tomato. Equally eclectic on the palate-medium weight, the question of some carbonic elements, oregano, red cherry, and a tannic finish. Who knows what to make of this or tell where it is going, but it is singular and unique. |

4/2/2015 - mychurch wrote: 88 pointsWierd Grapes 2nd Get Together (Leiden): Stick your nose in the glass and you smell it: natural wine. Not sure the grape variety matters too much, but its Malbec and a world away from classy, modern Argentinian versions. Yes there is a touch of animal and dirt, but its also very pure with good black fruit. Very easy to drink and at 11.5% you wont have a hangover the next day. A wine most people will love, but some will hate |

3/27/2015 - depechemoroder Likes this wine: 89 pointsA lovely blend of something that is deep and brooding, while actually medium bodied and dances across the tongue. Deep dark fruits with an occasional bitter edge, but balanced by a syrup like concentrate minus the sugar. Beautiful perfume of olives, rust, black cherries in chocolate, and old leather float just above that fruit. This is backed by sharp acidity and unforgiving tannins, but they work in a way that just brings the perfect balance of intellectual appreciation and joy. |
