p.ox-y mischief
Having mistakenly opened a (remarkably super!) 2007 M&M to follow-up on my p.oxed 2005, here – eventually – are a couple of 2005 follow-ups. Sadly, and in my cellar at-least, these are for the fish or chicken sauce – only. 2005 Mischief & Mayhem, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Caillerets Deep… Read More
more mischief
I must have been having a bad day, or perhaps it was the phase of the moon but I liked all of these when I paid a visit in May. M&M certainly seem to be on a roll. It was only the other day that I thought about it from… Read More
marko’s harvest diary 11-Sep-20 – day 9 – post-script!
Domaine Michel Noellat et Fils, Vosne-Romanee – (Post) Vendange Day 9, Friday 11th Sept 2020 The morning after the night before ! Whilst our working vendange was now over, as I’ve mentioned previously it has been my habit in recent years to look to stay on in Burgundy… Read More
cold weather but nevertheless – rosé!
The last week has really been a change in direction for the weather. Despite pronouncements from Beaujolais yesterday that “At this stage, 2017 is the second sunniest year since 1980 – just behind 2011” it’s just as equally stormy/showery and cool there as it is in Beaune. Much of this… Read More
weekend 30 – 3 bottles with a better return
2007 Mischief & Mayhem, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Caillerets On pouring in the kitchen, the dark colour hard my heart sinking (once more) but outside in the garden, it was clear that this remains yellow not golden – even if dark yellow! The nose actually has a reductive twist and… Read More
3 bottles – only a modest return…
2014 Domaine Gueguen, Chablis 1er Vosgros This wine is burly yet impressive – there are flashes of fine flavour and aroma too, but compared to the domaine’s Vaucoupin (here) this is a longer-term prospect – you should wait 2-3 years I think. This, today, and good… Read More
(my) failed p.ox watch!
Given my rotten 05 Puligny Caillerets, I decided to pop another M&M 05 to see if it was an isolated incident. As you can see – and (as you prefer) call it old age or blindness – but only after I’d poured this, did I realise that I’d actually… Read More
shame – 2005 puligny caillerets…
Well my last 2005 (Bougros) was just sooooo good, that having also found a bunch of these (2007s too!), I decided I had the right material for Wales vs Portugal… 2005 Mischief and Mayhem, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Les Caillerets Ouf – now that’s deeply coloured… The nose rotates between… Read More
