Wine Berserkers - international wine social media, online community, and discussion

Digging into the bottle from yesterday and I'd say this is a drink it all on day 1 wine. Not showing much on Day 2 as it has simmered down and not showing much.

Enjoying this now and I reiterate everything you are saying. Its fantastic

Looks to be about the size of the first floor of my house....does it open up onto #3 at Augusta?

Heaven in 2 forms!

2017 Bruno Clair Marsannay Les Grasses Tetes (x2) - First bottle was PnP. No go. Just an alcoholic mess. Second bottle opened for 3-4 hours and was singing. Good fruit and some of that spice box on the nose that I love about Pinot. 2017 Alain Graillot Crozes-Hermitage Rouge (x2) - Both bottles pure...

Thanks!

I like it too.

The recent Bordeaux article was also printed in French.

That PYCM Corton seems to get rave reviews from every one that touches it.

This was sort of brought up on another site...

Weather is a big factor and sub scale production (Parcel size). You bottle that dam grand cru know matter what!

I'm a big fan of The Hidden. Had the 16 recently and after about 4-5 hours in the decanter it was singing

Good luck finding it. I doubt there's even any in France.

I'm on a lot of those lists as well. I signed up when I first got into wine. Have never bought and yet they wont quit sending me offers.

Honestly, the only one's I think really have a wait are Realm, Rivers, Aubert, SQN, SE, Maybach, Saxum, Macdonald and Scarecrow. Every other list isn't really full.

it's VERY twisty and windy, so people may get car sick.. also if you can, continue driving through the backside back to town.. (so u don't go back through the windy section).. the backside is gorgeous.. altho the road gets a bit questionable. Was reading about this, but apparently the rental car co...

Had a 2017 a few weeks ago. I really enjoyed it. Guess I'll have to find some St. Joseph

I feel like the Syrah release is late but it could just be me.

$100 off of $300 is back. Code is CRUSHED. Good until 2/29

Same experience here as Mike. I've had 3 bottles of Ravenswood (2 Zin, 1 Syrah) from the most recent library release and I've dumped all of them down the drain. As well as having a few other older wines its just not for me. That spearmint, mushroom, rot, leafy flavor could gag a maggot.

If you like Northern and/ or Southern Rhone wines, you also like traditionally made wines, Jeb Dunnock's palate is not yours, and you want to follow a reviewer, I'd say Livingstone is your best bet. Agreed. From my very limited experience Jeb is a very nice guy, but our palates are pretty different...

Signing up.

Thanks, all.

Does anyone read this? Was wondering if it's worth the funds (Its not much, $50 maybe).

http://www.drinkrhone.com

Any other sources for Rhone wines, particularly Northern?

I find these wines hard to shop for. On WS and then in actual online listings, it's often very unclear whether it's Vincent Dauvissat, or Dauvissat-Camus. In CT, each of the wines has a mixture of photos of the two different labels, and I'm not always sure people inputted their notes about the corr...

does anyone know when this wine will actually start hitting shop shelves?

Its on the shelves up here in the Northeast.

Ive only bought the last 3 releases and I never max out. I only got 1 Houyi and 1 Moonracer. Don't even have the option to wishlist the other big guns.

agreed. Especially when its $35-$45

I can’t imagine drinking a 2013 right now.

Thanks for the info on the 2016s Tim.

O great. So I guess I'll leave the 2013 Roagna Paje I just bought as well in the fridge for a while

I had a 2013 last night and it was nothing special to be honest. Tannic raspberry juice that smelled like a bottle of rubbing alcohol. Lacked that Anise/Licorice taste and scent I love so much in Italian wine. I decanted and drank over 5+ hours and it never came around.

Swore I'd never try this again after I had the 16 a few months back but I can change my mind....

I had a helluva time with some Boones Farm in college. A lot of it I can't remember for some reason.

Wish I would have known about the breakage policy. About a year ago I bought an 1855 and it got dropped after the first use. Have a cru and dig it.

O here I go again. Another one of those threads where I get on winesearcher to see whats available nearby so I can Try to find not overpriced burgundy that might get me my epiphany moment.

I've stopped searching for that moment after about 2 years and 200+ bottles. 95% of wine is meh. Very few even stand out. I’ve gone through a similar thing, and in my personal case it was that I was drinking to narrow a range of the wrong wines. My palate had both grown bored but more importantly s...

As follow up and clarification. AG said 2017 Realm came from the winery and 2016’s were self sourced from a friends cellar.

assuming they didn't like scores he gave. Its provided in the context of the article about how wine critics earn their keep during tough vintages and when there are times that top estates just don't perform. He did provide Realm scores in this latest article but I believe they were self sourced bott...

Interesting that Schrader, Eisele and Maybach will no longer let him visit.

Tom

Realm as well

Opened the Ampeau around 2pm today and I would say it needed about 30 minutes to open up from bottle and then it was a go. heavy nose of Apple and Crème Brulee. A touch of acid on the palate with a mouthful of apples. Just happy this wasn't corked Holding on to that Dauvissat? Good chance it doesn'...

No. Is all I will say.
Yikes, that bad?

Yes. Especially if you're paying the Boston price like I did off the shelf.

Thanks, all. Much appreciated.

No. Is all I will say.

I've got a 93 Robert Ampeau Meursault Perrieres and 15 Dauvissat-Camus Preuses I want to open. Has anyone had any of these lately? Decant? Serve cold or room temp?

Btw, what's the difference between Dauvissat and Dauvissat-Camus?

Thanks

The shape of the vineyard is quite interesting. I'll stop there.

Got a few Bruno's on order. I'm going to see if I can get a bottle of this.

Not to take away from RM because their stuff is fantastic but the Wayfarer scores were impressive for how small the range is.

I don't know much about Burgundy either but I do dabble in it. I myself would be interested in any books if others have recommendations. These two topics for me have been very educational: https://www.wineberserkers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=155013&hilit=1000 https://www.wineberserkers.com/forum...

What is the wine price off the mailing list currently?

If I recall the offer back in May was near or over $500 per with a 3pack min purchase. I got the offer a few weeks/months after signing up.

Thanks, all. Makes complete sense.

Thread drift. My bad

Dumb question but after 2+ years of trying to figure out wine, what is concentration?

Between this board and following fellow members on Instagram, everything for me to be honest. Sounds corny but I can't think of something I found on my own.

Quality over quantity

I got an offer as well. I just signed up last year
