Treated to this delicious white. Barb and I loved it so much we are searching for a supply. Loved its brightness and acidity.

Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2009

Wild, rich blackberry without drinking overwhelmingly ripe. A glass or two with my Dad on a quick trip to Vegas left me boorish if not harmlessly belligerent. A decade ago, I would have been escorting my Dad out of the casino at the pit boss's request. Oh, how times have changed! — 10 years ago

Le Pas du Moine Sainte Victoire Rosé Blend 2016

Delectable Wine
9.1

Brilliant orange-pink. Potent, mineral-accented red berry, cherry pit and blood orange scents show very good clarity and lift. Taut and focused on the palate, offering concentrated red currant and bitter cherry flavors that deepen and become sweeter on the back half. Smoothly blends depth and energy and finishes long and minerally, with a suave floral note coming in late. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, June 2017) — 8 years ago

Pierre Morey

Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay 1986

Brought to Eleven Madison Park for lunch. Medium gold, heavy and viscous. Like motor oil in a glass with a swirl. Huge fragrant bouquet in the nose right off the get go and over 5 hours. Notes of sweet apricot, pit fruit, lemon, iodine, stone and lemon. A kaleidoscope of color in the mouth. Took 3-4 hours of air for the acidity to come on and match the richness and glycerol texture. Everything you could hope for in a white burg. The holy grail. — 9 years ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 1992

Tasted blind. Med gold. Citrus notes on the nose with pit fruit, stone, apricot, white flowers, orange peel and a bit of honey. Rich and glycerol in the mouth. Good acidity and if it was flabby early on, it tightened up with several hours of air. Very exotic and nobody guessed Chablis. But after the reveal you could pick out the Raveneau characteristics. — 9 years ago

Valmur Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 1990

From the Tour dArgent wine list. FnA. This is amazing Chablis. Light to med gold. Closed at first. Just wait... There it is. Kermidgean white soil and white rock stone. Shell bits. Over 3 hrs this built into that honeyed mineral stone pit fruit thing that is aged Raveneau. It's what got me interested in Chablis. It's why that disease continues. — 11 years ago

Domaine Leflaive

Les Folatières Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 1995

Light straw yellow gold. High pitched fruity nose. Notes of ripe pit fruit, apricot, leesy lemon, cinnamon, and river stone. Rich but hugely structured mouth feel. Long satisfying finish. For me, everything you want in a nicely aged white burg. Bravo. — 9 years ago

Bodegas Bocopa

Marina Alta Gran Selección Muscat of Alexandria 2013

Started as a new, grey rubber assault. But blew off to a subdued floral honey. And cut, nearly dried grass. White peach poking its fuzzy head into the equation. Medium-heavy mouthfeel explodes with aromatics from peach and lemon-lime to grapefruit pith in a moment of acidic clarity that effervesces against sunflower, and dandelion and a sweet pistachio that dunks your head in its sensually charged unctuous-ness. Stony and Indian gum interplay with the pit fruit in an enduring ending. — 10 years ago
