Tio Pepe 'Fino En Rama' Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Palomino Fino

9.0

Very good quality with a solid expression of its provenance and a good length. Bruised apples, yeast, bread, iodine and a dry chalkiness puts this right where it belongs a good concentration on the palate which could last longer. As all serious sherries it is performing well above its price which takes you the question that everyone ask themselves, why don’t I drink more sherry? — 6 years ago

Greg Brewer and Diatom are back with a vengence with the 2013 Santa Rita Hills chardonnay. After a pause, shall we say, in 2012, this new vintage has that crisp acidity and incredible balance that makes this wine unique. Easily has a decade of development ahead of it, it's remarkable what Greg can do with this stuff. Fantastic. — 9 years ago

A real paradox, loaded with toast, focussed like a laser. Geoffroy said it was a vintage of dehydration with concentrated sugar & acid. At The Relais & Chateau vertical of Dom Perignon with chef de cave Richard Geoffroy. — 11 years ago

9.7

The 1990 Cristal is remarkable. Polished, nuanced and light on its feet, the 1990 is all class. Citrus, orchard fruit and floral notes are wonderfully lifted throughout. A slight reductive note adds character on the finely knit finish. I can’t think of a better way to start this tasting. Simply put, the 1990 is a total rock star. Moreover, it is much more delicate than most wines from this ripe vintage. Amazingly, the 1990 tastes like it is still not ready! “Nineteen ninety was my second vintage here,” says Chef de Caves Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon. “It was ideal. The fruit was just perfect. We blocked the malolactic fermentation completely and only fermented 6-7% of our lots in oak, as opposed to the more typical 20%, in order to preserve as much freshness as possible. The wine was made by my predecessor, Michel Pansu, but I was learning. This was the first year I started working with oxygen by reducing sulfites in vinification to pre-oxidize the Chardonnay musts, as I do know, which allows me to get rid of all the unstable, oxidative compounds. With Pinot, on the other hand, you need a little bit of sulfur at crush or you lose the brilliant fruit. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, December 2018) — 7 years ago
