STARS IN THE DARK Syrah 2019

Very floral, perfumed, ethereal - a captivating bouquet. The palate is equally delicate, unmistakably Syrah and quite different to what one might expect from the northern Rhône.

The wine struggles to hold up to lamb, so I think would be best suited to hearty vegetable dishes - roasted root veg and mushrooms, perhaps.

Hard to know whether this is just a little young - if some savoury notes develop with age this could transform into a quite brilliant Syrah.

Puligny-Montrachet Chardonnay 2021

Tahiti. Motu is a small, low-lying islet. Schlepped this wine across the equator. As a last toast to my fiends selling their Motu. Although i might be biased when i drank this wine looking at he stars and Elon Musks satellites this was incredibly good. — 7 months ago

Any intrusion of Elon Musk into my thoughts while drinking a great wine would likely have soured my pleasure and rating a bit. I’m glad you were able to avoid such intrusive thoughts.

The man did terrible thinks no doubt. But there are other facets of his work. Not a wine discussion though.

Plow & Stars Winery

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2020

Bright yellow gold. Inviting nose and big rich palate of plantain, yellow lilies, baked apple, and cinnamon bark plus a little orange peel on the entry. Medium minus plus acidity asserts mostly back palate and finish. Wonderful layers of flavor and opulent richness compensate for the lowish acidity making this a wine to pair with only the richest dishes: seared scallops, duck confit, grilled lobster, etc. Drink now through 2024. — 4 years ago

Domaine Olivier B.

Les Amidyves Côtes du Ventoux Grenache Blend 2017

Smells like a spiced pastry

Lively! Red stars dance across the tongue for only a meaty mingling moment, before the tannins start smacking every part of the mouth, up, down, left, right, Jab, Jab, Ka-pow! Those knock out tannins longer on and on.. and on..
Wish I had bought 2 bottles, this needs at least 5 years to relax those teen tannins.
I mean, don’t close your mouth for too long on these tannins, as they act like a vacuum and super glue. You’ll never get your jaws apart..
