Domaine du Vieux Château Vieilles Vignes Chablis Chardonnay 2020

Very nice, but better on day 2 than day 1. Give it some air for now. With that air, a great mix of classic Chablis notes with a bit more burgundian creaminess than you might expect otherwise. Long finish and quite refined. Have mostly had the premier cru from here so nice to try the “entry level” which is still very good. — 14 days ago

Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay 2007

The 2007 Montrachet pours a bright yellow color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with insane notes of ripe orchard fruit and a little tropical fruit too: peach, Meyer lemon, lime, even some orange along with starfruit, and passion fruit. There’s also honeysuckle, some nuts and OMG, don’t even get me started on the minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is forever long. The fruit and acid are in perfect balance. A wow wine in a line-up of wow wines. Drink now and through 2047. — 6 months ago

Red Mountain DLD Cuvée Marcel Dupont Les Gosses Vineyard Syrah 2014

Ming L
9.4

This is my last bottle of this remarkable single vineyard Syrah, the first bottle consumed about 6 years ago.

The nose opens seamlessly with ripe plum, blueberry compote, and cassis before evolving into savory waves of smoked meat, dark cocoa, dried violet, and aged soy. The palate is full and silky, with a refined sweetness and integrated spice driving a long, savory finish. Still powerful but now balanced and restrained. In peak form.

Les Perrières Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2014

2014 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 2 hours at approx 62 degrees. Medium-medium heavy body. Plenty of honey/mead texture and flavors along with golden, slightly overripe apple + a little finishing spice flourish. Decent acidity at that temp and wanted to chill some down to the mid-50's to reevaluate but ran out of road. Better luck next time. 05.30.25. — 3 months ago
