4/23/24, 3:26 PM - Tough vintage? 2020 was one of the top 3 vintages ever in the Finger Lakes. Perhaps you meant to enter a note for the 2021?
1/26/24, 10:06 AM - Hi there. No 2018 Syrah was made at Hector Wine Company. It was blended into their entry level Cuvée called Soul Red. However, this wine ages really well. I had the 2013 last year and it was on fine form. My favorite Finger Lakes red... Cheers!
1/2/24, 6:40 PM - Very good to excellent concentration indeed. My sample was very tight aromatically hence the lower score. Potential is there though...
11/26/23, 10:18 AM - What was wrong with the wine? I have some in my cellar as well...
9/21/23, 9:12 AM - Great wine! You should taste 2020 Cab Franc from Forge as well...
5/2/22, 3:32 PM - My 1st bottle was not austere at all.
2/18/22, 3:34 PM - The bottle you had showed the characteristic aromas of H2S? That makes me nervous as I have 3 of these still in my cellar. Did the aromas resolve and the rotten egg smell dissapate?
1/10/22, 3:39 PM - Why is your rating a 100 then?
1/10/22, 5:33 PM - Now corrected. Thanks
12/21/21, 5:23 AM - I bought a few of these from WTSO and thought it was well worth 20.00. Definitely a nice wine and not deserving of a 50 point score.
10/28/21, 3:42 PM - Hi there! I have 3 magnums of this wine and I am wondering what you think is a good drinking window for this wine? Cheers
10/28/21, 3:58 PM - I have had the same experience. A lot of people say 2018 is a vintage that will drink early, but I think they need time. I had a 2005 Amiot Millandes last year and it was delicious!
7/14/21, 9:56 AM - I've had quite a few 05's that were open for business and I really feel that they express their terroir very clearly. I think that is what the critics really like about them. I prefer the 2010's because they express a great sense of terroir in a more graceful way.
1/3/21, 10:05 AM - Yikes! I'm gonna be opening one on Thursday... hope my bottle is drinking better. One of my favorite sayings is there are no great wines, only great bottles of wine.
1/4/21, 1:08 PM - I'll post my note on Friday for comparison.
3/23/21, 5:02 AM - I posted my note in January. I guess you didn't read it... I enjoyed this wine but it was a little tight. Definitely not as acidic or herbal as your sample
2/5/21, 4:46 PM - I thought it was tight and tannic as well! I had a couple bottles about 2 years ago that were very tasty, so I think its just in a dumb phase right now
1/28/21, 12:48 PM - I did not decant the bottle but it certainly might help to do so. I would probably wait at least a couple of years to open my next bottle. The aromas and palate presence were lacking a bit...
1/13/21, 9:52 AM - This wine sees no oak aging. Just a heads up...
1/29/20, 11:07 AM - I love Nebbiolo and my sample was open for business and very delicious!
9/2/17, 12:45 PM - Hey Pat, We tasted it in June and I found it to be absolutely delicious. I tend to drink my Finger Lakes reds on the younger side, as they tend to lack structure, but this wine should hold for 3 to 5 more years.Cheers, Alek
5/30/17, 4:11 AM - A lot of producers make wine from the vineyard Les Bons Batons... also, it's in Chambolle and not in Gevrey. Great wine for the price!
1/7/17, 6:46 PM - Can you tell me where I might find the disgorgement date on the label?
1/11/17, 1:01 PM - I did notice on the cork that it said 02 16... I think maybe this is when the lot was disgorged.
12/2/16, 1:03 PM - I wonder if this has become attenuated... when I had it last year, it was truly excellent.
1/25/15, 11:03 PM - I tasted it at the Domaine. The woman who was guiding my tasting declared it was from the 2008 vintage...
7/13/15, 9:16 AM - Good to know... I guess I was misinformed
7/2/15, 8:55 PM - Redundant? I think so...
10/27/14, 7:56 PM - Patience is required! I have tasted a bunch of 2010 barbarescos, and they are tough as nails right now...
10/8/14, 9:09 PM - It was a tasting with the importer...so I can't call myself brave. Cheers!
4/23/13, 1:25 PM - I just really disliked it, and I thought it tasted nothing like Pinot Noir. Glad my note helped you out...
