  It’s always a great feeling when a wine you took a flyer on shows well. I found this 2012 Mercurey from @chamirey for a whopping $19 at my local Total Wine. It was the last bottle remaining tucked away on a bottom layer bin covered in dust. My expectations were low so I decided to pop it open on a whim after wrapping up cellar inventory today. Immediately surprised at how easy the cork came out and the aromatic intensity of the wine. On the palate, mellow notes of cranberry, red cherry, Chinese five spice, and damp earth integrated nicely with the soft acidity. Definitely at its peak but still a pleasant surprise.

  Last night a 2012 Bordeaux and tonight a 2012 Burgundy, supposedly a difficult vintage, this wine was humming, good acid and balance, good fruit for a reasonably priced Burgundy, medium body, earthy, drank easily with rack of lamb, would drink again but won’t find it.

  Ripe and honeyed fruit, hint of sous-bois, lovely nervosité, oak spice, juicy and earthy, ever so slightly drying tannins, light finish but good resonance and length.

  Smoky black cherry notes, medium bodied, silky, some mineral too. Tasted at TW.
