Unusual to find a well aged Medoc available by the glass - at Restaurant Didon on Rue du Dragon. C.Aubell has it on the nose.

This was a wine-by-the-glass at the restaurant Au Pere Louis in the 6th arrondisement, and it had me shaking my head. How could a wine with no particular geographical distinction be this good. Fruity and smooth, a mouthful of charm, 8.50 euros by the glass and probably not much more by the bottle wherever it’s available here.

Terrific stuff! Flowers, violets, and black fruit on the bouquet but the palate is dark chocolate and eucalyptus, long finish.

Charming, fruity but crunchy, with a heavyweight note, a contralto rather than a soprano, quite delicious with food.

Yummy as before. Caspernick's review below has the finest grain of note on the wine, but it's pure pleasure to drink especially as a $14 purchase from LastBottle.

Agree with Manson's note about the wine, it's silky and fruity. Just not wild about its being $22 a glass at the Harvard Club but the alternatives are last year's pinot noir.

This time it comes off as fruity the fruit bomb. Very full, lots of raspberry and strawberry in the nose and on the palate with the forest floor notes receding into the background. Enjoyable, made me remember what I like about new world pinot.

The rosé is an 85/15 mix of chardonnay and pinot noir, the latter providing the light salmon color in the glass, nose had strawberry and raspberry notes, palate was crunchy with citrus, lotsa tiny bubbles, medium finish. But it tastes like one integrated thing rather than a moving target. Served as an aperitif with a bunch of nibbles: marcona almonds, duck grieben, rillettes de canard and spiced tuna on endive. I continued to drink it with the cassoulet and it went perfectly well with it.
Wish I had a case of this!

Excellent unpretentious cote de rhone. As before, it's very herbal but it's integrated with the red fruits and chocolate and forest floor. There are bad bottles, we had one or two, but for the most part the wine does not disappoint.

The first red wine at the cassoulet dinner. As before, did not disappoint, though my picky son the somm said it was "a little hot." Well it's a 14.5% abv wine, but after 15 years in bottle I felt it had mellowed.

Wonderful conclusion to the cassoulet party of 2024, a dessert wine from the Dordogne to serve with tarte au citron. Still primary with honey and almond and apricots. Gift of the Faragos who have no idea how they themselves came by it.
