Domaine du Tunnel (Stéphane Robert)

Condrieu Viognier 2022

Nose: intense yellow flowers. Elegant tropical flowers.

Palate: luscious tropical fruit. So delicious. Elegantly dense. A kiss of honey.

Man. I love this wine so much.

Cavallotto

Riserva Vignolo Barolo Nebbiolo 2016


Full bodied and intensely tannic. Sweet scent but fairly restrained fruits on the palate. Classic Nebbiolo characteristics dominate with cherry, dried strawberries, tar, roses, fine wood, earth, rocks and some beetroot notes. Very long and dry finish. Seems to be in a bit of a tunnel at the moment.

Flötzinger Bräu

Hell aus Rosenheim

Merengue and styrofoam conspire on the tall, popping head which drops egg and dart to ant tunnel lacing. Pointillist plateau. Soda bread nose goes doughy with distinct yeast character, and lemon zest, uncooked cream of wheat, white potato and just-pulled garlic micro-note. Tremendous and astounding entry on sipping! This might be my ‘go-to’ hell!
Orange bread with notes of lemon; Hawaiian bread, evocations of custard and malted milk with brown sugar barley, just minus how sweet that might seem. Very beer core here with dried papaya dusting and candied grapefruit. Incredible.

Hyland Vineyard Riesling 2019

Lyle Fass
9.4

Gorgeous. Nose is crystalline. Sweet cantaloupe, gorgeous minerality and its all presented in a narrow tunnel that is so focused. Some herbs as well. So clear and clean. Palate is equally as crystalline with stunning focus, precision and minerality. Just so taut and luscious with unreal juiciness. This is young and will continue to unwind. 9.4 for now but I will be back. — 2 years ago

Too extracted and lactic for me. Others will like it more. Same vines as Sozet and Sozet all day. — 3 years ago

Domaine Tour Saint-Michel

Feminessence Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2017

2017 vintage. @ Mister A’s Restaurant, San Diego-Les Caves de St. Charles CDP dinner. Initially, an absolute ballbuster. Massive tannins with a modicum of velveteen fruit at the end of a long tunnel. After two hours? Surprise! Change partners and the nearsome, fearsome tanninfest coalesced into the velveteen fruitfest. Remarkable concentration, tho, from start to finish over the course of the dinner. Best newer-vintage CDP, out of roughly 200, that I’ve had in the last two years. Just a remarkable chameleon. Supposedly 50/50 Grenache/Syrah. Worth the hunt. 11.16.23. — 2 years ago

Pur Blanc Saint-Peray White Rhone Blend 2020

Marshmallow, lemon peel and lemon blossom, orange sorbet and dried mango on the slightly honeyed palate. Dry, a bit astringent. Rocks. Really leveling up on day 3. Textural and seductive. — 3 years ago
