1999 Château du Mourre du Tendre Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
4/28/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRHasn’t changed much in 3 years. Dark red color, dark matter, late maturity fruit but still cool and blue. Eucalyptus notes, garrigue. Just a tiny bit dry. Unique style. 5-10 years left, I’d say. |

2016 Domaine François Cotat Sancerre Les Culs de BeaujeuSauvignon Blanc more |
4/27/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRFresh bouquet of white flowers, citrus, salt and a hint of petrol. Layers of chalk, green fruit and citrus on the palate. Incredibly expressive, razor sharp, steely. 8 years old, but it tastes like it was just bottled yesterday. Many years left. |

2016 A. et P. de Villaine Rully 1er Cru Les Margotés BlancChardonnay more |
4/25/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRMedium yellow color. More advanced than a bottle we drank in September 2023. Lemon curd, mandarin and salt on the nose. Red apples on the palate, chalk, lemon curd. Good freshness. Interesting wine. Will probably live for a number of years from here, but will it get better? |

2014 Sadie Family T'VoetpadSwartland White Blend more |
4/24/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRInteresting, complex bouquet. There’s all sorts of stone fruits, dried apricot, quince, spices. Very complex on the palate as well, plethora of fruits, bitter chocolate notes, dried herbs. Very fresh, very long. Balance and harmony here. Enjoyed over 2 days, no changes. With Jesper in BeF. |

2021 Domaine de la Butte Bourgueil Mi-penteCabernet Franc more |
4/24/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRYoung, bouquet of blackberries, tobacco, tar. The tannins are firm but without edges and there’s a rustic side to the fruit along with green, earthy flavors. Very good lift, freshness. Very good wine for the table, but will be better in 3-5 years and live a lot longer. With Jesper in BeF. |

2014 Sadie Family SoldaatPiekenierskloof Grenache more |
4/23/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRLight red color. Light bodied, elegant, perfumed cherry fruit. Earthy, stony with marks of white pepper and a hint of vegetables (green). Still very much on the fruit, so a long life ahead is my guess. Beautiful wine. With Jesper in BeF. |
| Red |
2003 Château Rayas Côtes du Rhône La PialadeRed Rhone Blend more |
4/23/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRLight red color. Funky, earthy bouquet, barnyard notes. Lean bodied for a 2003, airy fruit, certainly ripe Grenache. Stones, pepper, a green hint. This is drinking very, very well right now. Impressive, as always. With Jesper in BeF. |

2018 Vincent Pinard Sancerre Le ChâteauSauvignon Blanc more |
4/23/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRExpressive and rich, salty, mineral. Stone fruits, lime and apple notes, spicy. Complex and long. Just fantastic wine. With Jesper in BeF. |

2002 Acorn Syrah Axiom Alegría VineyardsRussian River Valley more |
4/20/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRTerrific, mature Syrah. Earthy, floral bouquet. Dark, dusty fruit on the palate, smoked meat, olives. By no means over the top, very well structured. Happy to have saved a bottle this long. |

2021 Laurent Combier Crozes-HermitageSyrah more |
4/19/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRLively blue fruit, olive paste, white pepper notes. Quite green and lean, almost too lean. A good vin de plaisir. |
| Red |
2021 Pierre Gonon Ardèche Les Iles FeraySyrah more |
4/19/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRA lighter vintage for Les Iles Feray, but a delicious one with a display of olives, flowers, pepper, dark fruit. There’s a green note as well. Facile à boire, even if there is plenty of character here. |

2020 Andreas Lenzenwöger Definitely RedVin de France Grenache more |
4/18/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRI am drinking my stack too fast, but this is just so utterly delicious, pure Grenache, airy, dancing fruit, white pepper notes and spices. Consistent with previous notes. |
| Red |
2001 Château Pradeaux BandolMourvèdre Blend, Mourvèdre more |
4/18/2024 - pbaek wrote: NREarthy, funky bouquet. Animal notes, fur, band aid, iodine. Ripe, bordering on roasted fruit, dusty, dark plums. Complex, interesting, and certainly a wine that requires food and thought. |
| White |
2021 Jerome Galeyrand Bourgogne-Aligoté Alligotaymore |
4/18/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRSurprisingly rich and expressive for a 2021 but also pure, lively and fresh. It builds with air, becoming more layered. Beau vin. |

2004 Château de Saint Cosme GigondasRed Rhone Blend more |
4/17/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRTasted against the 2004 Pesquier Gigondas, this is darker, drier and certainly feels more polished. The tannins has softened, this is cool and vertical with notes of mint. Some garrigue notes on the back. Perfectly agreeable, but the 2004 Pesquier is more my style of wine. |
| Red |
2004 Domaine du Pesquier GigondasRed Rhone Blend more |
4/17/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRBeautiful, mature and local Gigondas. Opens up with a funky bouquet, dusty cherry fruit. Still good fruit on the palate combined with earthy marks, garrigue. Everything I’d want in an old Gigondas. €11 at the domaine in 2006. Time flies. |
| White |
2019 Domaine Weinbach Pinot BlancAlsace more |
4/17/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRMay be my last bottle from a case of 12 which goes to say how enjoyable this wine is. Great purity of fruit in green and yellow colors with a mineral, spicy finish. Superb food wine and there’s enough fruit sweetness to pair this with white asperges. |

2018 Domaines Ott Côtes de Provence Blanc de Blancs Clos MireilleWhite Blend more |
4/17/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRThe sémillon is shining through with ripe fruit flavors and just a hint of fruit sweetness. Full and ripe fruit combined with citrus marks and spices, this doesn’t seem to go anywhere anytime soon. |

2014 Domaine de Montcalmes Terrasses du Larzac RougeRed Rhone Blend more |
4/20/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRSimilar notes as 10/30/2023. Cassoulet with Jakob. |

2018 Mas Jullien Terrasses du Larzac Autour de JonquieresRed Blend more |
4/20/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRVery young, on primary red fruit, juicy and delicious, and farmyard notes. Cool and vertical in style, as always for Mas Jullien. Very easy to enjoy right now, but there is so much more to come. Wait. With Cassoulet. |
| White |
2017 Mas Jullien BlancCoteaux du Languedoc White Blend more |
4/20/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRRich, layered and complex. Salty, mineral palate with a mix citrus and stone fruits. Very long and interesting. Will be long lived, but it already provides lots of pleasure. Can hold a cassoulet. |

2020 Domaine Weinbach MuscatAlsace more |
4/20/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRYoung with good fruit sweetness, acidity and freshness. Notes of elderflower and spices. Excellent with foie gras. |

2001 Domaine de Marcoux Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
4/14/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRFully mature, cool-fruited, tertiary notes. Less interesting than the 2000 and 2003, but still a good example of mature Marcoux. Time to drink up. |

2009 Domaine Charvin Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
4/14/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRRipe, plummy cherry fruit. Rich and spicy, great purity. Lavender and thyme. Great expression of terroir, as always, from Charvin. Many years left. |

2021 Dureuil-Janthial Rully BlancChardonnay more |
4/14/2024 - pbaek wrote: NRA bouquet of citrus/lime, green apples, stones/salt. Good energy and acidity, lively fruit, very much on lime juice notes on the palate. This has more precision than then 2020 and is less intense, more my style even if then 2020 is also a good wine. |
