Domaine Leflaive

Les Pucelles Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 1996

Decanted for a few hours and taken to Kochi in Hells Kitchen. Light straw color. Vibrant and viscous in the glass. Old Leflaive petrol and reductive nose. Notes of citrus fruit, lemon crème, wet stones, petrol, tan spice, hazelnut and white flowers. Good balance of rich fruit with still strong acidity. Long finish. Bottles this fresh easily have a decade or more of pleasure in front of them. At peak but still has plenty to give. — 3 years ago

Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese Riesling 2004

Cork was really bad after the shipment got here so i decided to open it...
And it was singing.. on the sweet side, i would dare to say feinherb style
Mile feuille, wet stones...super mineral, fresh and in an amazing balance.
Long and good.
Hints of petrol station that go and come back.

Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay 1995

Tasted blind. Medium gold. Notes of lemon, dirty white stones, marzipan, some honey. Floral. In the mouth it shows its intensity with great fruit to match. Fine grained acidity. Memorable finish. Memorable wine. — 5 years ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Valmur Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 1990

High fill. Straw gold, noticeably lighter than the 90 Dauvissat Clos. Notes of pit fruit, white soil, white stones, some spice - and with several all hours of air, the honey notes appeared. Started out strong, then went into a funk and was quiet. But returned late in the evening for a solid finish with nice old Chablis fruit and memorable acidity. (Bday dinner 3/13) — 6 years ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Butteaux Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2004

2004 Vintage. This needs to be served at cellar temperature vs refrigerator temp and kept opening until last sips at almost room temp. Citrus and stones with acidity still to balance the honey notes from 14 years aging. — 7 years ago

Bodega Catena Zapata

River Stones Vino De Parcela Adrianna Vineyard Malbec 2018

Smells like there is going to be more oaky and fruity than it actually is. This is very refined. Very dry. Plums, red berries, olives, black pepper, mint, I have to give the Catena family credit for crafting wines in this style. Maybe a bit pricey, but good quality indeed. — 3 years ago

Wow. What a wine. So mineral. Confectionary. Wet stones. Cotton candy. Floral. So juicy, mineral, complex. Rocky. Chassagne vibe. Super high toned. Not really a formal note. So deep. Just incredible. — 5 years ago

Saxum Vineyards

Broken Stones Red Rhone Blend 2012

Deep currant red; smoke on the nose with blueberry and spice; ripe palate with time has become lush with a pastille quality and ripe, finishing tannins. This evolved substantially over two hours open. — 3 years ago

Saviah Cellars

The Stones Speak Funk Estate Vineyard Syrah 2016

The Stones Speak. Did they ever! Full bodied, dense concentrates of decaying fall leaves after a fresh rain shower drenched in minerals, fine polished fully integrated tannins almost leaving a sweet edge. All secondary and tertiary notes. No distinct fruit to be recognized. It was like drinking extracts squeezed from the river rock on which they grow the Syrah. A flavor explosion as soon as it hits your mouth. — 4 years ago

We tried pairing this wine with a cheese that would compliment it - Manchego, Jarlsberg, and Gouda. The Manchego’s nutty flavor brought a sweetness outcompeting the wine so it was out of balance. However was lovely to eat after a sip of wine, pairing nicely with the aftertaste. The Jarlsberg’s subtle flavors disappeared with the wine-didn’t distract or bring out the flavors; but the Gouda stood up and made an excellent pairing.

Dom Pérignon

Brut Champagne Blend 2004

Popped and poured. Light straw color, lots of bubbles and energy. Notes of light citrus, stones, minerals, green apples, cut pears and some quince. Young and vibrant in the mouth. Great texture and a great bottle. I love the 04 vintage… need to find some more as my stash has quickly dwindled. — 5 years ago

Domaine Coche-Dury (J.F. Coche Dury)

Meursault Chardonnay 2001

Medium gold, nice heavy weight in the glass. Steely, fruity nose. Notes of Meyer lemon, wet river stones, tan spice, rocky soil, some tangerine and some ripe apricot. Rich and powerful in the mouth. Great overall structure and balance. This is playing up a weight class or two. Feeling Cochey! — 5 years ago
