This has chilled out and has relaxed. No dosage, but it has evolved to a sweeter place. Really presentable now. Just needed 20 years to come around 😀 — 3 months ago

Beaujolais Gamay 2009

Medium ruby hue with slight brick tinge. Bright bouquet of bramble, bubblegum, cream, fig, raspberry, strawberry, and vanilla, with additional aromas of forest floor, licorice, and smoke. Light body, with soft tannins and high acidity. Light finish of minerals and orange zest. Well-balanced. Aged very well. — 6 months ago

Monte Rosso Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Black raspberry, black cherry, and black currants are ripe/dried with some definite spice. This cab has a nice mineral quality that was unexpected...something like dusty rocks. Velvety tannins and a long finish. — 9 years ago

Vintage Champagne Blend 2015

Fabulous. Just amazing. We had the ‘12 in 2024, and it was still powerful and wonderful. It was delightful as we toasted with it, it was lovely with our shrimp summer rolls, it was great with salmon, and it was exquisite with a Wagyu filet. As amazing as it is on its own, it’s just as delicious with food. Wow. Just wow. — 4 months ago

Le Mont Benoit 1er Cru Extra Brut Champagne Blend 2018

Lots of complex aromatics that became even more expressive as the bottle warmed up. Some oxidative notes mixed with bread and flowers. In the mouth this leans to the vinous side. Acid driven which allows it to be consumed through out the meal. Just a hint of bitterness on the finish — a year ago

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

This was our second bottle. First was uninspiring and despite the 97pt RP rating, found it to be disappointing. The trick is to let it breathe for at least an hour to let the flavors develop. It is no Opus One but very satisfying with a juicy steak or just plain enjoyment! — 7 years ago

Domaine des Héritiers Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2020

Delectable Wine
9.3

The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru doesn't possess the delineation and panache of Tollot-Beaut's on the nose at first, though it coheres nicely with aeration. Peach skin, linseed and wilted white flowers eventually come through. The palate is well-balanced with a viscous entry, a little more honeyed in style than previous wines in this flight of Corton-Charlemagne, though it deserves applause for the precision and detail on the finish. It needs a little more time in the bottle compared to others because there is a lot of coconut-ty new oak. My score is based on this being assimilated with bottle age. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, July 2024)
