Unicorns in the wild 🦄

Repost due to no tasting notes, so here I post my best wines of the night. Last pic is full line-up, if you see anything that interests you. Please let me know and I’ll hook you up.

Kei Shiogai – Pommard 2021:
Wow, a completely modern style of Pinot Noir with a sapidity that knocks you off your socks. Drinks like straight juice, delicate small berries and loooads of sour cherry on the nose and palate. But drinks just so good!

Rene Engel – Vosne Romanee 1996:
Rest in Peace legend, and what a wine it is! It certainly packs a punch for a Bourg, but wow! Loads of primary aromas especially dark sour cherry and plum, but also very present oak flavors. Tertiary aromas are also coming through with cedar, mushroom and light spiced notes. This drinks so well for being 1996.

Coche Dury – Meursault 2007
For me the wine of the night, imagining that this stuff was once grapes is just unfair as a winemaker. Classic Coche nose with the perfectly flinty, gunpowdery nose. The palate was just so crystal clear with a perfect balance and insane freshness for it being 2007. If I could I would drink this wine forever in my life!

Domaine Leroy – GevCham 2003
I know already that most of these wines I’ll never have again in my life. What a Pinot Noir! So multifacetted, everchanging in the glass with such a power it’s not even funny. No way to describe this wine in words, so much going on! Powerful, delicate, elegant, this wine!!!

Jacques Selosse – Ile etait une fois
Not a huge fan of vin de liqueur, but this has nothing to do with anything I’ve tasted. Typical oxi nose of Selosse (just without bubbles). Slightly sweet but not alcoholic at all with such a high acidity to clean your palate.

Cheers!
