2014 Jean-Marc Vincent Santenay 1er Cru Gravières

So impressive for a Santenay. Pale ruby with a lovely fresh ripe strawberry nose. A dry palate with medium plus acidity. 2014 was not a banner year for reds but this producer over delivered. I love burgundies like this. Ethereal and weightless with lovely primary fruit flavours even at 10 years old. I wish i had more. The winemaking lifted this terroir beyond its potential. A great vigneron to keep your eye on.

2009 Domaine Jamet Côte-Rôtie

Truly one the great Cote Rotie experiences of my life. This Jamet 2009 was in a great mood! Colour-medium plus ruby center with garnet rim. Light black fruit on the nose with pronounced cigar box and black pepper. A lovely freshness kept my nose in the glass for a long time. Some black earth, Christmas spice and smokiness in the glass as the wine sits. The palate was dry with medium plus, plus acidity. Medium alcohol delivered incredible texture with plush undertones. Medium plus finish. Skilled wine making and a bottle for the ages. An amazing value when compared to burgundy. Bravo Jamet! This has a long life ahead.

2004 Antinori Tignanello

Medium ruby with a tiny garnet rim. Medium plus black fruit and fresh tilled earth on the nose. Pronounced spice and black damp earth on the palate. Full body with medium plus acidity. Velvet tannins and well integrated alcohol. A palate of dark fruit and spice with a minty freshness that keeps this wine interesting. Outstanding wine making. This shows it's incredible pedigree. Enjoyed with grilled quail and artichokes. Won't improve but will keep for much longer i think.
