10/21/23, 3:16 PM - Thx eric. I will comply with policy if I post a note again.
10/21/23, 4:37 PM - It’s always a good bottle. :)I probably post one note for every 100 bottles I taste. Can’t handle the back seat driving and chirping. Over time I’ve realized that I can only take ratings with a grain of salt as there are a lot of people posting with very different levels of knowledge and experience. I tasted through about 150 bottles a few weeks ago in Italy. It was fun. The most memorable were the elegant ones … soldera, Montevertine and Stella di Campalto. Montevertine is a smoking deal and I’m glad it remains on almost nobody’s radar. Oops.
10/21/23, 4:56 PM - I’m going to be an adult and accept the criticism. I was having a grumpy night. I also prefer tocomply with the rules and realize I should pay attention to them. I’m gonna make up for the shoddy poggione with a bachelet charmes 2015. Infanticide but who cares.
10/21/23, 7:02 PM - Just posted TN. Very challenging to buy in my market. I’d buy a case a year if someone would sell it to me.
2/5/22, 12:08 PM - They were 225 Cdn on release. Straight from agent to my very cold cellar. My conclusion is tainted / corked from winery. Something went wrong with a batch. Other giacosa were fine.
2/6/22, 3:20 PM - Sman, tried an experiment with the remainder of the wine and crumpled up a lot of plastic wrap in a decanter and poured the wine over. Sealed tight and left for 24 hours. Next night the cork taint was gone and the wine was fine. I’ve tried this may times before and it has never worked but this time… success.
10/4/21, 8:05 PM - Great note but the other 50%?
10/6/21, 6:08 AM - always enjoy your TNs. realized something was off as I read it out to my wife.
3/8/20, 2:02 PM - Don’t drink Chablis if you don’t get it.
3/8/20, 3:32 PM - So nice of you to call me an Illuminati. Very thoughtful. I should probably just zip it as I’m generally too lazy to contribute notes. I agree with you that young Chablis can be so razor sharp they give nothing. Problem with Fevre is they suddenly fall of a cliff and become premoxed right before the time they round out and are at their best. The 05 generally all went that way.
3/8/20, 4:09 PM - The fevre premox issue has been shocking. It can impact only 1 of 3 bottles from the same case or all of them. Any fevre bottle shift into premox is not gradual. It’s very abrupt. Very concerning. You got me all fired up. I’m opening a Fevre tonight!
3/8/20, 4:16 PM - Ok. Just opened a bottle and it’s a beast. Gonna leave the glass alone for an hour to see what happens. I need a dozen or so shucked oysters.
3/8/20, 8:27 PM - Showing very little on the nose but great structure and intensity. It’s all there. My guess is it will take a few years to come out of its shell.
2/27/19, 10:05 PM - Go grandma!
12/22/18, 11:01 AM - at a restaurant in Vancouver bc, canada. they purchased from the bc liquor distribution branch.
