Gekkeikan “Horin” Ultra Premium Dai Ginjō, Kyoto, Kansai Region (300ml)
Japan, World$17.95
Review is private
Soléna Domaine Danielle Laurent Pinot Noir 2012, Yamhill Carlton, Willamette Valley
Oregon, Usa$28.75
Good colour, quite deep for PN. Fresh and appealing, with no heaviness in spite of the fairly high alcohol. A nice middle style, with lots of stuffing but balancing acidity to make it refreshing.
Muga Reserva 2014
Rioja, Spain$26.95
Nice ruby colour. Ripe fruit up front with strong oak notes, and balancing acidity. Med to full bodied, and all in balance. Pretty much at its peak, and very much in the Muga style.
Vincent Girardin Vieilles Vignes Santenay 2013, Ac
Burgundy, France$31.25
Pale ruby at this stage, quite attractive. Full nose of ripe berry fruit, which carries on to palette. Nice mineral notes beneath. Medium bodied, taught and linear. This is quite fine for Santenay, although perhaps lacking the layers of complexity of great PN. Holding well, but at its peak.
