This is in a perfect drinking window right now. Everyone at our dinner party raved at how good it was. DD Laurene never disappoints!

2007 Et Fille Pinot Noir Nicholas

We purchased this on a whim after tasting a 2007 Belle Pente in 2022 that knocked our socks off. I remember having some 750s of the Nicholas awhile back and enjoying them a great deal and Jessica was lovely enough to part with one of her last large formats of this. We were thrilled with it. It had that lovely pinot stank that blew off quickly and after about an hour it was simply delicious. So many memories of Howard who's fingerprints seemed to be all over this wine. We toasted to his honor. By hour 2, the peak had ebbed - it was still enjoyable but the high notes seemed to dissipate somewhat. But what a vintage and what an honor to get to taste this lovely blast from the past.

2012 Lemelson Vineyards Pinot Noir Chestnut Hill

CT drinking window closed 3 yrs ago so I didn't hold out much hope for this last bottle. But I am pleasantly surprised! It is definitely time to drink it if you have any left as I don't see it getting better and it is likely past its peak. PnP with aeration (if you haven't tried a frother to aerate you definitely should). Nose is restrained and takes awhile to fully open and be appreciated. There is some nice complexity of the flavors on the palate. Up front fruit is fading but the earthy undertones and loooong finish just sing. This is a beauty in a good drinking space right now. Don't wait; drink up!
