Saline

Raul Pérez

Ultreia La Claudina Bierzo Godello 2012

There's a grapey, white peppery, peachy, fantastically strong nose on this wine. Palate brings along a saline, oxidative sherry-like beauty. Finish is very long. Gorgeous wine. — 11 years ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Montée de Tonnerre Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2004

2004 Raveneau Montée de Tonnère. After a half hr open, when you bring your nose to the glass, an amazing vinyl/green banana/mint/chalky limestone nose awaits that is so potent and alluring it evokes some deep-seated, Neanderthal sensory orgasm. It takes a bit of time for the puckering lemon acidity to poke out. Big, broad, and creamy...probably the greatest Chablis I've ever had. So very powerful but not clunky. Wow. The glass residuals are wildly saline and honey/creamy a bit. So, so good — 13 years ago
