2022 Scuotto Fiano di Avellino
3/30/2024 - plinymajor Likes this wine:
Quite golden colour for a fiano. Nose has vegetal touches (grass, asparagus, green bell pepper) and stone fruit (peach) but also more tropical (mango, passion fruit). Enters like a fruity sauvignon blanc, but in the middle it becomes much more serious; you get typical smoky, ashy fiano notes. I expect it will become more harmonious with bottle age. Good acidity and good length. For €12 in Belgium, this is really great rqp.

2004 Château Jean-Pierre Gaussen Bandol Longue Garde
3/10/2024 - plinymajor Likes this wine:
Opened 3 hours in advance. Colour: dark ruby red with some browning on the rim. Initial nose: barnyard, mourvedre funkiness, leather, some dried fruits, but the dried character fades away and gives place to fresher fruit. Later also dried green herbs (peppermint!). On the palate this is really still alive. Fruit (blackberries, cassis) hasn't faded at all and is accompanied by some meat stock, black pepper, mintiness and some ink. Tannin still healthy, med acidity, good length. Amazing how this wine is full of life at 20 yrs. At €29, amazing pqr. Glad I bought some of the younger vintages too, as this wine certainly could be a birth year wine for my godchild (2014) and my own son (2020)...

2014 Domaine Chevalier Corton-Rognet
2/4/2024 - plinymajor Likes this wine:
2nd of 6. This bottle was quite evolved. Blind tasting with 3 Burgundy fans who taste blind on a weekly base. Everybody liked it but guessed it was 2009 or even 2003. Very typical nose of bottle-ripened pinot: mushroom, coffee, cigar, cherry jam. On the palate it still had good freshness and appeared a little younger. Very enjoyable, but apparently, there is some considerable bottle variation (compared to the first bottle, which tasted much younger).
