Harmony Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2014

Delectable is at it again! This is a very good Rôtie, with everything in its right place. Plenty of meat and smoke on the nose, with some floral accents. Fleshy fruit flavors, berries, strawberry jam, stone, kirsch. At 12 years of age, it's already coming out of its cocoon. Could age a few more years, but not much longer. I know I had this same vintage last year, but it seems I didn't keep notes on it.

Delectable appears to have eaten my notes on last night’s wine. 🤬

@Tom Casagrande, what @Delectable Wine is doing to me is to show the wine in my list, locking up “Waiting to Submit”, then just the wine, but without any of my note or other info — if I type my rating, description, etc., in again, when it finally shows up, it shows at least 2 (and up to 8 — sigh) notes. So, after the first attempt, I just click on it again, WITHOUT typing anything more, and it’ll usually post that second time, but usually with 2 sets of notes. Clearly a glitch/flaw in the software!?!?

That's so complicated! I'm not having that much trouble, it's just posting my stuff several hours late

Corton Perrières Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2010

This was pretty stubborn due to a combination of reduction and me opening it while too young. It did open up and began to show the fantastic potential ahead. Airy red berries with an almost crisp character from the acid backbone. Shows plenty of power without excessive density or weight. Still in the cocoon, but a butterfly will emerge. — 10 years ago

Tenuta Mara

Maramia Sangiovese 2015

Color : Red
Wine estate : Tenuta Mara
Designation : Emilia-Romagna
Name : Maramia
Country : Italy
Vivino : 4.5/5
Note : A fine and almost transparent dress on a visual of grenadine, at the beginning and a bottom in the cocoon of the glass, a red pure blood. It is a 100% Sangiovese that is complex in aroma but also elegant and very classy. On the nose, floral notes and spices to accompany red fruits. In the mouth, the flavors are gradually emerging to offer a pleasant taste balance with a divine final. 4.5 / 5 because it lacks a little body but already promises a lot.

Une robe fine et presque transparente sur un visuel de grenadine, au début et une fond dans le cocon du verre, un rouge sang pur. C’est un 100% Sangiovese qui est complexe en arôme mais également élégant et très classe. Au nez, des notes florales et d’épices pour s’accompagner de fruits rouges. En bouche, les saveurs se profilent petit à petit pour proposer un équilibre gustatif agréable avec un final divin. 4.5/5 car il manque un peu de corps mais promet déjà beaucoup.

Les Galichets Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2012

This wine just never ceases to amaze me. The 2012 vintage, which I've had before and loved, continues to evolve. The nose is tighter now, but is opening as I write. Brooding black fruit wrapped in rosemary and sage cocoon. Similar flavors backed by acidity and tannin deliver a work of art, with a lingering, contemplative finish. Yes. — 11 years ago
