Some highlights in a funky week-end ! Ski and tasty evenings !!! Allez Val d Aoste
Long Time since I had the San Giuseppe wines … since my visit, gone sky rocketing prices 🥹🥺… still that 12 had fruit left, great silky tannins and a savage nose, a bit edgy… Brett are more palpable on that one giving a drying finish sadly when the wine is still pretty !!! Every loved it though… just my technical take …
Sadly telegraph was on the descending slope … with opening some ripe fruit shows in but the wind is overall not at its peak …
Timo Mayer pinot is at its best … just falls a bit short, we d expect a tiny bit more acid to hold that subtle refined wine and last longer on the palate. The sweet feel is amazing with soft tannins and fantastic red berry fruits … 🍇 raspberry, cranberry juice …
Very good St Joseph from unknown Negociant to me … spices and dark fruits, quite soothy and typical …
Nice tastings at .cretes but unfortunately no pics here … great Nebbiolo and Pinot, probably best Italian Chardonnay too with the Anselmet
Lo Triolet is a long time wished visit … all the wines are of interest and on spot… pinot with some whole bunch… giving crunchiness ! Torette is balanced and great food wine ! Beautiful arvine !
Bon pour résumer 😎😜… VT fatigue un peu … Mayer très joli, fruit, manque juste un poil de nervosité pour allonger ce vin quasi parfait dans son style et sa forme ! St jo inconnu au bataillon mais bien typé et très bien fait … pas de bois ni de surmaturite malgré un bon 14 d alcool !
Le Stella serait stellaire sans une bonne dose de Brett qui animalise et assèche un poil cette bombe de fruit et d élégance ! Conclusion … vive le SO2 en petites quantités ou la futaille propre 🤷♂️…
