On this Sunday afternoon I have opened the 2018 Jules Taylor Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand.

On the nose there are pungent aromas, pink grapefruit, lime, kiwi fruit, green apple, white flowers and nice mineral notes.

The palate gives up notes that are tangy and citrus with lime, green apple, stone fruit, mango, passionfruit, a herbaceousness and minerality.

This wine is medium bodied that is zingy crisp with medium + to high acidity and a long crisp clean citrus finish. I hope everyone is well and getting along in this time of seclusion? This too will end and we will get back to a normal assemblance of life. Please stay healthy and safe. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂 — 5 years ago

Lovely classic, but slightly lighter than a typical nuits. Thoroughly enjoying this to some early 1970s Parisian acoustic hippy soundtrack piped in.. — 7 years ago

We had a bottle left over from Christmas and ended up drinking it with chili in August. Surprisingly easy to drink, even with food in the middle of summer! Complex, but not heavy, with pronounced dried fruit and floral notes. — 7 years ago

Took a chance at this 3 liter buying it never tasted at auction. Shared with my Sunday night crew and it was perfectly aged and went down so easy. Gone in an hour. — 9 years ago

The second Rhone last Sunday. Earthy loam notes together with ripe Grenache aromas of raspberry and red liquorice although the raspberry notes are much more savoury at 12 years. On the medium bodied palate some Liqueur cherry notes with mild resolved tannins. At its peak - fruit, oak, tannin and acid all in balance. The perfect accompaniment to Roast Lamb and Vegetables. A blend of 65% Grenache 15% Syrah 15% Mourvèdre and 5% Cinsault. — 6 years ago

Had the 2009 with some friends for NFL Sunday kickoff. Dark brick color, unleashed a burst of black fruit, with peppery spice. It’s that really brought out the tang in BBQ ribs. 🤗 — 7 years ago

The 2002 Cuvée Nicolas François Billecart comes across as rich, powerful and opulent. This latest release of the 2002 was disgorged in July 2015 and finished with a Chardonnay-based liqueur whereas the previous release, disgorged in May 2014, was finished with a Pinot Noir-based liqueur. This is a distinctly vinous, almost shockingly raw, visceral Champagne from Billecart-Salmon. There is no shortage of volume or intensity, that is for sure. Stylistically, this year's release inhabits a whole other world relative to last year's release. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, August 2016) — 7 years ago

It's been a few years since last visiting this icon and midnight on a Sunday seemed like a good idea. #Absolutelyoutstanding and preferred over all of its peers. Opulence in the autolysis department yet enough fruit to balance and keep it focused. Quintessential 'spoil yourself' champagne at the top of the class. If only I could make it a weekly event..TS — 10 years ago

Terrific old vine Zin. No jamminess. Lots of pure spicy blackberry and gravelly notes in the nose. Palate really lets the gravelly minerality shine through. Good acids and a clingy finish. Outstanding! — 6 years ago

At its peak I think. Great wine with some pasta and homemade red sauce on a chilly Sunday night in Chicago. — 6 years ago

Wow. I’ve had a lot of kiwi SBs in my day but this wine is completely different. Super elegant on the nose, elderflower and hay on the nose with subtle pear skin and muted grapefruit. Med + / med acid toned down and balanced. Ripe citrus turned down to a 6 and a touch of lees to provide structure. Finish is vibrant, clean and strong on the fruit — 7 years ago

When you have to travel on a Sunday, and that Sunday happens to be Mother's Day, you're not exactly psyched. This little oasis in the Delta Sky Club afforded me the opportunity to smile. Not a bad pour, regardless of the price. Typical Lynch-Bages cigar tobacco and leather with some luscious and velvety black fruit. Finished a little flat, most likely due to being open for a while in the fancy automated pour gizmo. But still smiling! — 8 years ago
