2012 Forey Père et Fils Vosne-Romanée

Pinot Noir more

12/2/2023 - PGR0 Likes this wine: NR

Upon opening at lunch, almost undrinkable, no nose, acidic, backward, watery. Decanted and it improved but not enough to drink a full glass. 5 hours later, the wine smells of burgundy, has put on much weight, a bit of vosne spice and is a pleasure to drink. Secondary on the nose but still primary on the palate. I could certainly see this wine improving over 20+ years but will be happy to drink along the way with the right aeration.

2014 Bernard Dugat-Py Bourgogne Cuvée Halinard

Pinot Noir more

8/25/2022 - PGR0 Likes this wine: NR

This wine was undrinkable (potentially flawed but remembered the last bottle) on day one even with a decant. I poured back into the bottle and let sit in the celllar. Day 2, still tight but turning into a tight but impressive Gevrey. I will drink tonight with a steak but would be tempted to let sit for another night if worked with my schedule. Three more bottles which will try to hold off for another five year to check in on. A bourgogne built for the long haul.

Started out tight, opened up about an hour after decanting. Fruity for Cornas but in an enjoyable way. Red fruits.

First of six pack. Very good, reminds me of Bordeaux. Little heat that will hopefully settle down.

2013 Domaine du Pégau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée

Red Rhone Blend more

4/1/2019 - PGR0 Likes this wine: NR

This ‘13 is a good reminder of why off vintages of great winemakers produce amazing qpr. Opened in the morning, good without decant but thought it would open more with decant so did that evening. It did but only after warming. Very balanced afterward. Delicious, almost more Bandol rustic than hot Grenache. No need to wait, will be interesting to see how it progresses through.

Simple pinot, got better after a couple of hours. Enjoyable but nothing special for the money.

In a transition phase now, need to wait a couple of years before the next one.

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more

Opened the night before. Oakier than I expected. Drinkable early but very new world and not in a great way. Will wait to see if it integrates.

2015 Château Haut-Gravet Grand Chemin

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more

1/4/2019 - PGR0 wrote: NR

Opened the night before, doubled decanted the afternoon of drinking. Little funk on the nose. Better palate. Will likely finish rest tomorrow, no problem aging. Will probably leave the rest of six pack for a year or two before I try another.

2014 Château Canon

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more

1/4/2019 - PGR0 wrote: NR

Opened the night prior to drinking and double decanted that morning. Red fruit on the nose, maybe violets. Oak is there but in balance. Definitely needs time but very enjoyable with ample air.

2016 Quilceda Creek CVR Columbia Valley

Red Bordeaux Blend more

12/20/2018 - PGR0 Does not like this wine: NR

Opened in the morning, double decanted, drank that night. Vanilla fruit bomb. Had similar thoughts about the '14, skipped the '15 as a result, tried the '16. I may be done with CVR if they are going to be this oaky.

Very good QPR, decent structure, nice acidity makes it a good food wine. Get a little fruit/roundness on the back end. Pulled the cork in the morning for dinner and decanted when we started cooking and it was coming around by the time we started eating.
