2009 Coche-Dury Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères
5/9/2017 - Long Louis Likes this wine:
A very decent and lovely village wine. Best in its first 30 minutes then falls slightly apart as it loses the complexity. I would not hold this for too long as 2009 seems to be very ripe.
I don´t understand some of the previous notes. Yes, this is a lovely village and one of the best at that. I paid 180 Euros in the restaurant and would not do it again. The price hype is insane and nowhere near justified in my view. Label drinking... As wonderful a drink this is, it is nowehere near Grand Cru quality. It proves, that you may not go wrong with Coche-Dury and has class, but at the same price there are many wines that are even better (speaking about market prices, from the winery this is a very good QPR!).

2013 Reimitz Rosso Toscana IGT
3/19/2017 - Long Louis Likes this wine:
The "Le Pin" of Italy ;-) With low sulfur, this wine is sheer beauty. Somewaht reserved at the start it might be underestimated. It is classically woven without anything in excess. Similar to a first growth or grand cru, the balance is more important than individual elements. The sangiovese shines through with continued aeration. It puts on weight as well with air and is easily the best Reimitz so far. A little different in style than his Pergole Torte which features more tannin and is built for the long haul. This will come together earlier, but due to its balance should be long lived as well. Lots of fun, I would not say it is the best Sangiovese available, but it is the most beautiful.
