Classy 2017 Anjou Blanc by Loire legend Thibaud Boudignon crafted from 100% Chenin grown in grey schist and volcanic soils in Anjou (his centuries old cellar and most of this vineyards are located in Savennières). Fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and aged in 300 and 750-liter barrels (30% new) for 15-18 months. Green apples, citrus, marked minerality, almost unnoticeable oak. Clean, precise, structured, marked minerality, great depth and length. This is Loire Valley Chenin at its finest — 5 years ago

Isn't exactly in tune with Global Champagne Day, but this is close. Franciacorta, from one of the finest. Methode champenoise or as the Italian calls it, metado classico. 75% Chard 15% Pinot Noir 10% Pinot Bianco (which they claim to better fit the rounding role than Meunier - think it has more aging potential) 25 months aging.

Delicious sparkling. Good dosage, precise acid line. Fresh, crisp apple notes with ample autolytic characters. Touch of aldehyde adds complexity! First Franciacorta and am in love. Yum. — 9 years ago

At the Downs. Club magnum dinner on Wednesday night. A very rich Pinot Noir and one of New Zealand’s finest. A bit closed - needs a lot of swirling. A medium to full bodied palate. Tannins are a little coarse and grainy but I put that down to its youth. Too young to be drinking this particularly from magnum. Should be great in 10 years time. 99 points from James Suckling. — 4 years ago

What a terrific way to end 2018. Old school Napa at its finest. Tart cherry, Leather, earthiness, cedar, and maybe a little bell pepper? Smooth tannins and after a 3hr decant the finish lasted for forever. Would love to try a Dunn with some age on it — 7 years ago

A balanced beauty from a stellar vintage. Tobacco and vainilla combined with sour cherries, and dried raspberries. Fresh and lively acidity bodes well for cellaring. Always love tasting these wines. They are honest expressions of the land. Old school Rioja at its finest. — 7 years ago

Malty with just the right amount of sweetness. Thicker than I usually like, but not overpowering. Bavaria! — 7 years ago

Mid Crimson with Pale Tawny rim. Aromas of Mushrooms Compost Heap and Autumn leaves. Medium weight with pronounced intensity. Fine tannins and acidity with incredible length and persistence. Amongst Australia's finest Pinots. — 8 years ago

2011 Vintge. One of the finest wines I've ever had. Lots of earthy flavors going on, including truffles, leather and tobacco. Even a tiny hint of licorice, but in a good way. Perfect balance of fruit and tannin as well. Just wish I could afford it more often. My special occasion wine. — 9 years ago

Joseph Phelps Insignia 2008: Bold. Rich. Stunning. Velvety black fruits. Mocha. Eucalyptus. Leather. Consisting of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot & 4% Merlot, this was the perfect 1.5L of pure liquid greatness. What better way to celebrate two milestone events but with this extremely special bottle. Simply the finest Napa Valley Bordeaux-style blend ever! Happy Birthday mom & Happy belated 50th Anniversary! Cheers🍷 — 4 years ago

Bit darker and less sweet than I was expecting, but I found myself reaching for glass after glass. Heavy and sits on the back roof of my palate. Initial aroma reminded me of wine served at Catholic mass — 7 years ago

Had a bit more bite to it than the standard Ruby or Tawny versions. Also had some subtle notes of dark chocolate. — 7 years ago

Parker 99 pointer for whatever it's worth,
Blend of their finest vineyards, not sure which ones they are, but thats the description. $112.00 from the winery, for the same 💵💳 I'll take the Becklyn moulds & Scarlett Reserve, but its a good wine to try.
