2012 Forey Père et Fils Vosne-RomanéePinot Noir more |
12/2/2023 - PGR0 Likes this wine: NRUpon 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. |

8/25/2022 - PGR0 Likes this wine: NRThis 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. |

10/1/2019 - PGR0 Likes this wine: NRStarted out tight, opened up about an hour after decanting. Fruity for Cornas but in an enjoyable way. Red fruits. |

2013 Domaine du Pégau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée RéservéeRed Rhone Blend more |
4/1/2019 - PGR0 Likes this wine: NRThis ‘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. |

2015 Château Haut-Gravet Grand CheminSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/4/2019 - PGR0 wrote: NROpened 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. |

12/20/2018 - PGR0 Does not like this wine: NROpened 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. |
