From Mag. An absolute wow of a bottle. The nose is crazy intense, lucid and profound. Dark plum fruit with a whiff of band aid, iron, black pepper, a tangy meatiness. Loads of delicate floral notes floating around, but a soulful and pristine bottle. As fresh as an early 2000’s bottle but so much age and precision going on. Wonderful. Just spectacular. — 8 months ago

great notes. I was busy eating as much Normandy butter as I could.

Ah… the small mountain of immaculate butter. That and the baguette alone would be a treat of a meal. It was lovely to share a dinner with you after so long.

Yes—hope next time is sooner and seating closer so we can share a few laughs.

Château Gruaud Larose

What a joy. On opening the nose is spectacular and floral. After a few minutes in glass it’s settled. Leather, graphite, blood. There’s roses, delicate underbrush. Very lucid and clear. What a treat. — 6 months ago

Alpha Estate

Hedgehog Vineyard Xinomavro 2018

Ely Cohn
9.0

Unfamiliar grape from uncommon place. Best described (by me) as remixed Nebbiolo with twist of cherry mint. Powerful and lucid at once, high alcohol, big boy tannin. Light and the color of ruby cherry juice with notes of pine and foresty cherry lozenge. — 3 years ago

Very pretty. Lucid fruit. Good structure with a savory and animal element. Not too intense but very correct with black pepper and herbs. Good stuff — 7 months ago

This stuff is probably on the way to becoming the next Clape or Allemand. So delicious.

It was a beautifully made wine. Lacked a little of the intensity of those two but great clarity of flavor. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for these going forward

Vallée d'Aoste Pinot Noir 2020

Ely Cohn
9.1

Looks really good in a glass - lucid and dark cherry-raspberry like Chambord, a cordial tension of fruits and minerals. It's really lovely and has just enough complexity to work for a weeknight or weekend. — 2 years ago
