A bit of reduction kicks off an intense display of lemon curd, ripe yellow pear, yuzu, white travertine, fresh lemon juice, and a kiss of vanillin wood. Thankfully, this shy in the exotic department,…
Super reductive, showing front-loaded richness and a brawny, shouldery execution. Lemon curd, buttered popcorn, matchstick head, barrel spice, yellow pear skin, yuzu, and salt rock. The 14.5% ABV…
Solid performance. Ripe lemon flavors with beautifully placed saline, travertine, and white melon rind notes that keep it all in focus. No reason to wait on these. I mean, there's one reason not to…
Starting out a little sleepy-eyed, this took an hour or so to open up and express itself with adequate speed and flavor expansion, intently pushing out ripe lemon, yellow pear, limestone, and fresh…
Lemon, chalk, and limestone lead the charge of this notable bottle. Fires off with excellent intensity and persistence, swiftly managing to completely invigorate and envelop the palate with yellow…
Lemon confit, lemon juice, wet travertine, unripe yellow pear, and hints of cardamom kick off the medium-bodied delivery of super pure fruit. The clarity is most notable here, with just enough…
Notable breadth and power, this is a broad shouldered ripe lemon and vanilla (thankfully not sweet) animal. For as beefy as this is, there is poise and focus. It is super yummy and hard to spit…
I've written a decent amount on this wine, so as a matter of a check-in here, I'll reaffirm that this is still a fairly brawny wine and will likely always be a less finessed example of P-M, instead…
True to form, this Mouchere follows suit with its past siblings in a broad and shouldery display of lemon and yellow and white stone fruit flavors unabashedly pouring on to the palate. Notable focus…
This is a more reductive and waxy showing compared to the bottle I had last year, with dried apricot, mango, and unripe peach notes layering the yellow citrus core. At first, this displays as a…
On initial opening, this was not really giving up the goods the way I would have liked. Compared to other showings of this wine (this vintage and others), this particular bottle was a bit linear and…
Balanced and seamless are the two most apt descriptors here, with an almost creamy texture that glides the luscious lemon flavors along the palate with graceful cadence. This is not an especially…
A powerful showing, with an immediacy of flavor that rushes in with punchy waves of lemon, lychee, yellow pear, white peach, unripe mango, spice, and chalk notes that instantly grab ahold of the…
This took about an hour before it opened up and needed to be at a very cool cellar temperature to be enjoyed optimally. At first, it was served at more room temperature (65+ degrees) and the fruit…
A beautiful unfolding of lemon and lime juice, citrus zest, white and green melon rind, orange oil (NOT the termite-killing kind), quince, and wet travertine notes. A broad-shouldered P-M that is…
Boy was thing this spun up. A high rider that refused to come down off the ledge. This particular bottle was screaming, "Get bent and piss off." Vanilla booze, bright red cherry water, and raw…
This is coming into a nice drinking window now, especially with a bit of swirling in the glass to coax out its deeper tones. Black cherry, loam, and a kiss of spice kick off the medium gourmand…
This has caught up to the Mouchere in terms of elevated verve and complexity, with the Genevrieres displaying alluring yellow citrus oil, white travertine, unripe white peach, and lemongrass notes. A…
Lemon and lime citrus juice and white minerality make for great zing and drive. My last bottle. On to the 2017s and 2018s. I won't sit on these (and there really is no reason to) in order to best…
I could not keep myself from tapping into another one of these bottles. Similar showing as in May 2020. Perfectly balanced and just the right amount of sappy and spice to make for a beautiful earthy…
Initially reductive elements make for dodgy fruit delivery, with flavors of matchstick and leek jam overriding the yellow citrus, white melon, kumquat, and chalk notes itching to push through. Broad…
Continuing to perform like a champ. This HB has next-level complexity that judiciously blossoms even further with additional air, making for a deliberate and succulent flavor expansion. Excellent cut…
