A shockingly clean and dry Riesling with subtle skittles-like aroma. Significantly more enjoyable on day 2 (a decanter not available to me). I am far from an expert on this stuff but I would imagine some more years under the belt might help this yield more? Acid for days but not aggressive. Just tightly wound. A fascinating encounter. — 5 years ago
A little funky but precise, quite mineral and very delicious. — 6 years ago

2008 PY Colin Moret Montrachet. Drank at N Mal w J&D B. Interesting to drink this alongside the ‘07 DRC Montrachet. People had a hard time picking a fave. — 6 years ago
Pretty serious wine, the prettiness almost overshadowed by a ramrod-straight backbone of acidity. Probably meat-friendly with the right preparation? — 7 years ago

1985 Sassicaia. Dinner J&D B at Best. Did not decant. Drank before the ‘82 Haut Brion. Excellent. John says it is the best Sassicaia he’s had. Tons of fruit- dark berries. Really rich and round and plush. — 6 years ago
Deep in colour and looks like a big Auslese. Same as the 1990 but just a shade of mouthful sweetness. It’s still a pretty dry wine but hits the spot. — 6 years ago

1994 Screaming Eagle. Dinner w J&L B and D&M H while staying with D&M in Santa Ynez. Opened and waited about an hour. Decanted right before serving. Tons of jammy dark fruit. Opened more in the glass. JB mentioned full palate and balance. Great finish. Preferred this to ‘91 Dominus once this opened up. — 4 years ago
