1999 Pegau CdP Cuvée Réservée - Reminds me of when I used to like CdP
@otw posted:1998 Mauro Veglio Barolo Vigneto Arborina
1998 Podere Colla Barolo Bussia Dardi Le Rose
Two extraordinarily intense Baroli. The Veglio Arborina was full-bodied, intensely savoury, smoke, dried roses, mushrooms. The Dardi le Rose was a massive wall of tar and licorice for the first hour. After that, I started to get sun-dried tomato, old leather, chestnut, dried dusty flowers. Not for the delicate palate.
I opened up another bottle of the 98 Bussia Dardi Le Rose and this bottle was much nicer. There wasn't that initial wall of tar and licorice. It had a nice flavour of dried plums, sandalwood, game and old leather. Much more enjoyable.
@otw posted:I haven't had a Pegau younger than 2004, so I can't appreciate that comment.
Is goat taint a flavour????
It’s the aroma I associate with Pegau in somewhat limited experience. Had two good ones vs. a half dozen gross ones.
It’s an imagined aroma, but one I associate with something I wouldn’t enjoy the taste of. 😂

Bill, I’ll bring a 98 Pegau to the the next offline if we’re ever able to have one again. It will make you appreciate goat perineum. Do goats have a perineum?
I’m afraid of where that google search would take me...
I'm trying to imagine goat cheese after it has gone through some digestive processing...

One of my favorite German producers. Thanks!
2018 Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc
Gonna reload next week. This has really settled down since first released. Not quite up to the 2017, but delicious.
2017 Morgon JP Thevenet
2016 Morgon Cote du Py Domaine Coquelet
not sure they’re worth the tariff. Maybe too young?

2016 Morgon Cote du Py Domaine Coquelet
Not better but not broken down on the second day. Nice, not special. My wife was not a fan.
2013 Klet Ribolla Gialla Bagueri - from Slovenia - very tasty

NV Ruppert-Leroy Fosse-Grely Brute Nature - Very nice and good pricing courtesy of the SAQ
This is one of the producers from the Aube that often get overlooked.
2018 Kutjevo Grasevina white (Croatian wine-good qpr)
2010 Villa Mora Sagrantino di Montefalco( you feel the 15% alcohol which is unfortunate)
2018 Willi Schaefer Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spatlese #5
The real deal. Definitely a complete step up from the #10 and the Wehlener Sonnenuhr spatlesen in 2018.
2005 Chateau Faizeau Montagne Saint-Emilion
Pleasantly surprised by how good this was for CAD$23 on futures all those years ago. If I could get more I would!

2011 Littorai pinot Savoy vineyard
Sublime but wish I'd given it another few years. Got some others left around that old and will be holding 2-3 years before going back in.
2017 A. Christmann riesling trocken - great juice.
2018 Arnot-Roberts syrah. My first A-R syrah and i have to agree with shanet on this one - one of, if not the best, syrahs coming out of the US. Mrs. VeV remarked she was still thinking about it at lunch today and has told to i) get more and ii) let them age.

We went through 6 of the Arnot-Roberts 2015 - very enjoyable but did not last long
A very lovely lithe floral sublime diaginjo sake
