The Pinot Noir & Grenache Thread

[Daver6]

I'm happy to collect it and store it at my place

Seriously though - if I can help let me know

Thank you! I'll see how I go once I decide what I want to do.

2016 Chanson Pere et Fils Beaune 1er cru Clos des Marconnets​

This is very sharp, it sells for 45-50Euro. Im tempted!

I bought a case of this a while back and cracked open the first bottle last night. Not impressed. Muted aroma and flavours. Would not recommend.

Really?
I didn't buy it, but it has pages of good reviews on TCW

I bought a few bottles on the basis of those good reviews, will crack one open when they arrive

Thank you.

It's possible a bad bottle was open, I'm unsure on TWC return policy.

It looks like other vintages are available, the 2016 is very well rated and the same price as the 2019 for the Lucien Muzard Santenay Clos Faubard.

I'd grab a few bottles, but don't really want to spend $250 for free shipping.

Pegasus Bay Pinot Noir | Grevillea Food & Wine

Super vibrant with plenty of earthy forest floor aromas as well as toasted spices. The palate reveals a core of pristine dark cherry fruit flavor, beautifully judged ripe tannins and a level of effortless depth that singles this out as a consistently great New Zealand pinot noir.

I'm seeking opinions on the Scotchman's Hill Jack and Jill label. It's supposed to be on premise sales only, but I can get some 2019 Pinot at a discount on the $35 RRP. Just trying to figure out if that discount is off an inflated price and what it might be the equivalent of - seems they now have 5 sub brands, most with a pinot offering...

I got it for $20 last time with VM. Yes I was told that it was supplied to restaurant brand.

I find it quite good, shine through after an hour of decant. Softer lighter style of Pinot.

Not sure about the RRP for retail but possibly RRP for restaurant.
Hope this helps.

Of interest the 2015 reviewed by HH had a RRP of $50.

In Praise of Shadows McLaren Vale Grenache 2021

www.princewinestore.com.au

probably somewhat surprisingly, these are possibly the first bottles of grenache that i've had this year:

i preferred 2018 Head Old Vine Grenache (GW95+, NS93, HH91), my favourite and biggest buy, but that could be just due to the age difference - IPoS is perhaps the best value grenache at the moment - their winemaker, Rob Mack, is behind grenache specialist Aphelion

2018 Head Old Vine Grenache

Seems like this could be the best Barossa Grenache I’ve encountered. Depth, complexity and composure. Started a bit reserved and really needed its day of sucking in air. Nutty and twiggy with stalk…

thanks for sharing - unbeatable value, even more so after discounts/cashback - needs time, though, improved significantly over the next day:

2021 pinot noir: Dappled Appellation > Allies Assemblage > Punt Road > Bay of Fires > Rochford Estate

2021 is meant to be a great vintage - best since 2015 - for Yarra, Mornington, Tasmania

Had a Punt Road last week and liked it a lot. Sitting here down the road from Otago and Bannockburn with my son we just finished a Mud House 2020 for dinner and liked it. We had a Saint Clair 20 pinor as a cleanser before we cooked ourselves dinner. There's no tbone here in Countdown. Might need the butcher next.

Had a big soiree at my place a few weeks ago and the mike press pinot at $17 was heavily lauded. Having a good run woth the PNs lately.
