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
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
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
Beefy, smoked fruit, popcorn, seaweed nose with lingering cherry pit finish. Pretty freaking great! — 11 years ago
