1986 Faiveley Vosne-RomanéePinot Noir more |
5/26/2024 - Jeremy Holmes wrote: NRA little shy at first, with a clean nose of mineral and earth. With air you get a whiff of smoke and some Autumnal leaves. The palate is outstanding. Luscious and creamy at its core, with intense black cherry fruit. There's aniseed spice too. It builds through the palate and structure is relaxed yet supportive. The finish fans out and is lightly chalky. |

2015 Jean-Marc Vincent Santenay 1er Cru Beaurepaire BlancChardonnay more |
5/25/2024 - Jeremy Holmes wrote: NRPours out with a green hue. The aroma profile is taking on some mango to go with white peach and flint. The palate has excellent chalky structure. There's good shape and fruit intensity and so much saline mineral to the long finish. |

5/24/2024 - Jeremy Holmes wrote: NRStill very youthful, with just a hint of earthy development sneaking in. Ripe berry and cherry fruits. A suggestion of smoked meats and stony minerality. Great acid drive. Intense, compact and linear. Fans out with some floral spice on the finish. |

1973 Domaine Clair-Daü Clos VougeotClos Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
5/24/2024 - Jeremy Holmes wrote: NRThe bottle was in good nick and colour excellent. It had plenty of sous bois and earth to the nose. There was some licorice and chocolate too. The palate had a honey like sweetness and loads of earth. It was relatively skinny through the mid and had blotting paper astringency on the tail. Whilst it had many faults, it did engage and was interesting and we finished the bottle. |

There are fennel and mint notes, and despite its size it is light on its feet, with excellent chalky build and citrus energy to the finish. |

5/22/2024 - Jeremy Holmes wrote: NRExpressive from first pour. Intense cherry fruit with some spice and florals. It is full and fleshy through the mid-palate and has nice savoury nuance. Each sip reveals a new interesting nuance and the finish is carried by ripe tannins and fresh acidity. |

5/22/2024 - Jeremy Holmes wrote: NRA highly perfumed nose of raspberry and cherry, smoked meats and tobacco. It is generous of flavour, yet detailed and possesses a high degree of elegance. There a fine line of minerally acidity and a touch of earth to the back-end. Lovely balance and proportion. |

5/22/2024 - Jeremy Holmes wrote: NRAlready expressive, with complex aromatics of smoky mineral, ripe apple and pear, honeysuckle and chamomile. The palate has flesh and is unctuous through the mid. There's some hazelnut cream and great saline mineral detail to the finish. It is long. |

2022 Bernhard Ott Grüner Veltliner Am BergWagram more |

1972 Charles Noellat Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les BeaumontsPinot Noir more |
5/18/2024 - Jeremy Holmes wrote: NRThere's just a touch of mushroom/truffle from the cork. It is really good though, with a nose of smoked meats and Hoisin and some grated ginger. It is rich and heady through the mid-palate and so silky of texture. There's so much spice and an expansive finish that has sweet earth and intriguing floral spice notes. The wine has wonderful acid cut. |

1974 Château Cos d'EstournelSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/17/2024 - Jeremy Holmes wrote: NRThe nose has some nutty aldehyde things going on, as well as antique furniture smells, leather, tobacco and capsicum. The palate is relatively lean. There is something lactic and plenty of savoury nuance. It is quite light, there's a saline iodine note to the finish and it has gentle tea leaf tannins. It is far from great wine, but there is freshness and I kind of liked it. |
