Matahiwi Estate

Wairarapa Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Powerful nose with aromas of lime, grapefruit and jalapeño. On the palate it's a glassful of passion fruit and finishes in an upswing of tart line. An excellent new word style Sauvie. Vintage 2014 — 10 years ago

Domaine des Héritiers Corton Pougets Grand Cru Pinot Noir

This is great. Still the best-ever Pougets I've ever had from Jadot, and just about as good as Corton gets. Some of the sticky grip this showed last year is starting to recede and this is becoming more backwards and solid, but we're still in the window where this has plenty to show off even though I suspect it'll shut down hard pretty soon and quite possibly need all of two decades to reemerge. (If that sounds overly long, taste the '99 right now and get back to me.) So what is it, exactly, that's going on here even though most of the primary fruit is gone? What we have is an intense rock quarry of a Corton, firmly on the mineral rather than animal side of Corton, that not only smells and tastes like a glassful of pulverized rock but has the assertive structure and solidity to go with it. — 10 years ago

Much more subdued since my last glassful. Like a big soft pillow. Nothing is overpowering and all the edges are smooth. — 7 years ago

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Obaideh Merwah 1991

A blend of Obaideh and Merwah from ancient vines with pyrrhic yields (a glassful from each vine). 

In the glass, a supernaturally glowing amber with copper flecks—one friend exclaimed “This color is just ridiculous!"

The initial wave of aroma is intense and complex to the point of being overwhelming. Time stands still, the room becomes quiet. It presents as a blanket of detailed images - toast with honey (like aged Semillon), nutty yellow apple (development), honeyed cashews, bruised candied white flowers, sweet carrot halwa, apple butter, apple-balsamic, clove, almond, and toasted scone. The nose is fractal, in a way. It rewards scrutiny with ever-increasing complexity.

The developed note of carrot, tamari, and honey intensifies over time in the glass, and on the micro-scale, within a single inhalation.

There’s no oxidation or Brett here, despite being as “natural” as a wine can be (no sulfur, no wild yeast, no manipulation except maybe a small quantity of used Nevers oak. 

This has undergone the transformation from a wine of fruit to a wine of wisdom - the fruit has been replaced by a honeyed, savory character, that Bartholomew Broadbent says will intensify with more age.

Neudorf

Moutere Chardonnay 2006

Thick, leesy, clotted cream nose when opened; repaid a brief decant to reveal lemon curd, lime pith and quince, with buttery notes. Ripe and bold, it shows good fruit, complexity & length. A satisfying glassful but for me too rich to be moreish. — 10 years ago
