JMC22 86

Cornucopia of anise, graphite, dust, and violet on the bouquet. Heavy on the tooth-sucking tannin with no balance of fruit or acid. Disjointed, full-mouth finish.

Rich, mouthfilling. An acidic wine for sure, but nicely balances out the residual sugar.

Vinography 7.5-8

Pale green-gold in the glass, this wine has a nose of old parchment, crushed stones, and bread dough. In the mouth it is tart and dry with flavors of limestone, parchment, and cooked pears. Not quite as zingy and alive as I would have hoped. Visit my website: Vinography: A Wine Blog

Very fresh with grassy and citrus subdued aromas. Light body, refreshing zippy acidity with again citrus tones but with little complexity. Maybe some minerality but not as much as expected. Will leave the other bottle alone for a while.

Well, this is a baby obviously but very enjoyable. Mostly about fruits now and will surely gain complexity. Not at all hard or unfriendly to drink this early.

Agree with others on the lemony aspect. Grassy on the nose and first taste. Great with salmon.

This is a sensational nose of botrytis and honey and some stink that blows off. Palate has more than enough acidity to counter the tremendous sweetness. Big mouthfeel. Long finish. Far far from cloggy. Super price/quality ratio.

These wines are bulletproof. Still lots of time left. Went perfectly with the cheese course.

Long-time house Sancerre at Union Square... Based in the heart of the village of Verdigny, the family owned Domaine du Colombier had its origins in the 12th Century. Offering ripe rhubarb and gooseberry fruit and a zesty mineral texture. Aged on fine lees for up to a year for increased complexity

Very dark red. Nose reminds of red fruits, but some tertiary aromas begin to show up. Very nice, pleasant mouth. Not certainly comparable with a Bordeaux, but a nice wine indeed.
