Domaine Leroy

Bourgogne Aligoté 2010

2010 vintage. Very interesting. It has a very distinct cherry note throughout the whole taste — I even feel like it can be confused with some simpler red Bourgogne on the nose. Cherry juice on the palate, with some stone fruit, limestone, a bit of lychee and just a touch of gasoline. Very enjoyable acidity, has years of life left in it, even from an off vintage. — 11 years ago

Weingut Rosenhof

Trockenbeerenauslese Burgenland Chardonnay 2010

Vibrant acidity balances the sweetness, and there's nice pineapple and lemon flavors. Actually reminds me of a simpler version of SGN pinot Gris. — 12 years ago

And a comparatively great value.

Boutari

Santorini Assyrtiko 2014

Juicy, high acidity and ripeness, salty mineral backbone and some lemon peel on the finish. More expressive but perhaps simpler than other expressions of this style. That's not a bad thing! — 11 years ago

Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon

Clos de la Crochette Mâcon Village Chardonnay 2012

Great Tuesday night Lafon. Has the purity and drive of its big sisters up north. A simpler, more linear version of his Meursaults, but still racy and delicious. — 11 years ago

Château Beau-Site

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

Ready to drink, plush and simpler bordeaux with sweet plums, spice and tree roots. Less concentration than others but very well balanced and it aged quite finely, delicious! — 11 years ago
