I LOVE Collin, but this cuvee continues to be the one wine of his that is the exception. An odd bottling that almost reminds one of Lambrusco, it almost has a bit of fizz (and not in the champagne sense) and just feels very disjointed to me. It's an interesting wine, but not one I want more off.

Candied (but barely) lemon is a fair tasting note. It still has that puckering acidity that is so distinctive

Drank side by side w the Ceritas TG ‘14. Nose was quite similar on both but they diverge on the palate

Lightning can strike twice, or maybe this is just an awesome bottle of wine. Upon opening, the ‘67 showed wonderful dried cherries and sweet dusty florals, gaining depth the longer it remained open, as earth tones, hints of soy, smoke and cedar developed. On the palate, it was feminine and lift, with an almost juicy persona, as notes of fresh strawberry, peppery herbs, and spice flooded across the senses, leaving hints of dried florals and sous bois. The finish was medium in length, resonating of dried inner florals, a twang of minerality and spice. Such a beautiful and mature bottle of Barolo.

1989 Nebbiolo at Cinghiale (Cinghiale, Baltimore): '89 nebbiolo at Cinghiale

An intoxicating perfume that seems to fill not just the nose but your lungs as well. Cherry fruit, roses, balsamic notes, porcini, cherry Luden's in the best way possible. On the palate, sap and density without heaviness. Harmony, power and grace. To throw in in another overused term, iron fist in a velvet glove. This has beautiful inner mouth perfume, sap and depth. Terrific balance and tension. Towering yet graceful. In spite of al the technical beauty, this is and emotional wine, that just sings to you. Drinking fantastically well, and has a future lifespan to measure in decades. Firm. Wonderful wine.

A bit one dimensional now. Wouldn’t touch this yet, just too early.

La Fête de La Paulée: Full, dense nose of sweet and ripe orchard fruit is primary and non-delineated. Big, rich and ripe sweet orchard fruit with some citrus and mineral. Taut acids that aren't yet in harmony with the fruit. Showed a bit simple and awkward at this stage. Lots of upside from here.

Good but needs time. Ideally time in the cellar, but if you must drink it now, decant and walk away for a couple hours. Very tightly wound upon first opening. Started to soften after 30 min and was much better after 90min. Inky purple. Dark berries, pepper, flowers, stone.

2 oz pour. Not decanted. I liked this a lot. Several layers of minerals, dusty rasberrries, some cherry liquor. Touches of smoke and all spice. All this and delicate and elegant.

My first tasting the the pmr Chardonnay from 14 checking in on it before the release tomorrow, while it's a nice wine and my style of Chardonnay it seems atypical of what I've come to expect from this site, everything fells more dialed down and restrained and really doesn't come across like any of the previous 3 vintages, notes of lemon, pear, saline hint, similar palate with lots of fruit on the attack that really subsides after the mid palate, lots of acidity and good structure.
