2010 Argiano Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese

Bland and too singular in dimensions... Prune and liquorice on the nose, decent fine tannins and acidity ... nothing much on the finish. Meh.

2016 Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Chambrates Sauvignon Blanc

I am coming to the conclusion that either I just don't like some of the very 'best' Sancerre wines that are made, or I am drinking them too young. Just not sure it's my thing. Never really 'got' this wine, kind of like some other super-famous producers' renditions (Vatan, F. Cotat, etc.). Anyone else feel the same, or is it just me?

1/5/21, 3:04 PM - I have found the Vacheron Chambrates and Les Romains stunning in their youth. The peach and stone fruit, with a mix of acidity and roundness are very pleasant. I've had a few Cotat with age on them and I also find them quite enjoyable.

What I seem to be learning is that the Sancerre I was initially drinking is quite different from the reference points these producers have been made out to be. Looking back on the hohum Sancerre I drank, they feel quite a bit rustic in comparison. A lot of acid, not too much fruit and generally not very complex, but enjoyable.

2007 Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Chaupin Grenache

Strange blend. A bit of a sweet aftertaste. Certainly needs time to open up, and could used some chilling. Acidity eventually balanced out with tannins. Very berry on the nose. Medium body.
