Domaine Tollot-Beaut et Fils Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru 1999

Dark garnet with orange rim. Wild aromas of meat, of fern and berries. Seams a little harsh to me. Dense and complex mouthfeel with flavors of spices, small black berries and an enjoyable bitterness even if felt too serious (austere) and still structured. Tasted blind, I was thinking of an older Pommard wine. Very good (89)

Did not found any information about this wine and its ageing under oak. Alcohol level of 14%

Lammershoek LAM Pinotage Swartland South Africa 2013

Light and translucid garnet color. Typical aromas of natural wine with black earth, some spices, red fruits and a little “funky” twist. Initially having a light bubbly feel on the palate, this aspect will disappear with time. Then got flavors of Morello cherries, orange peel and tree branches. It’s fresh, have a bight acidity and… can’t say anything else as the bottle is already empty. Paired well with a hot summer day. Very good (89)

Made of Pinotage grape. Inclusion of 30% whole bunch during fermentation. Aged in 5000L foudre, 9400L concrete tank and 225L barrels. Alcohol level of 12,5%
