1. NEW! Tasting notes are online from Raymond Lafon's vertical (April 2024) in 21 vintages from 2023 to 1979 and Tertre Roteboeuf's vertical (November 2024) in 21 vintages from 2022 to 1982. TNs from these two verticals are in the section "Horisontal and vertical tastings". I have also published some TNs concerning the Pezat line of wines from Jonathan Maltus (Le Dôme), rose, white dry, and red wines of very good quality and very affordable. Look in section "Various Tasting Notes".
2. From October 22nd to 25th, 2024, I enjoyed four adventurous days visiting famous and lesser-known properties in Bordeaux. I tasted several wines from the 2022, 2021, and 2020 vintages during this trip. In April 2024, I visited Bordeaux, where I sampled barrel samples from the 2023 vintage and wines from older vintages. You can find a detailed report of these two trips in the "Vintages" section.
3. Tasting notes on wines sampled in October 2023 in Copenhagen, made by Danish winemaker Peter Sisseck in Spain (including Pingus, Flor de Pingus, PSI) and Bordeaux (such as La Fleur Rocheyron and Rocheyron) are accessible for "Horizontal and Vertical tastings".
4.The Burgundy & Beaujolais section in the menu bar has tasting reviews of the best wines from these regions, from famous and less famous producers. In April 2022, I tasted Morgon Cote du Puy from five producers in vintages 2018 and 2019 and other wines from the same producers in June 2022. In August 2023, I tasted 16 Beaujolais Crus, mostly in vintage 2020.
5. I frequently share my tasting notes on an excellent website managed by Pekka Nuikki from Finland: www.tastingbook.com. By the end of December 2024, I had reached over 12.600+ followers and posted 3.450+ tasting notes on this platform. In the 2024 "The Best Wine Critic in the World" competition, I secured the 22nd position among the 37 finalists.
