Laurent-Perrier

Grand Siècle Grande Cuvée Champagne Blend

Wow! Delicate bubbles let the chard and Pinot noir shine through. A bit of vanilla and bright lemon and brioche. Not too dry and a lovely bright mouth feel. Fantastic! — 2 years ago

Sandhi Wines

Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

Medium to full bodied Pinot from Sta. Rita Hills. Medium weight in the glass with notes of red berries, cinnamon, damp earth and spice. Decent length in the finish. This could use another 2-3 yrs and really shine. — 2 years ago

To answer your question...probably not.

Agreed. Only the Trollat is better and they’re rarer than hen’s teeth and 10x the cost. These are made from the same vines as far as I’m aware and they’re as good as the very best Northern Rhône’s. Our palates are, as usual, aligned

I have only been able to try the 96 Trollat. As you stated super rare & rarely seen.

Cantina Bartolo Mascarello

Barolo Nebbiolo 1964

Very light. Cherry and light still acidity. Soft and long. Maybe needs a bit more time in bottle to really shine. Surprising given the vintage — 2 years ago
