Terroir al Límit

Pedra de Guix Priorat Garnatxa Blanca Blend

Great example of a white showing oxidation but still manages to express a complete wine instead of one ruled by oxidative tones. Walnut skins, canned pears, quince, sea spray, minerals, laced with citrus. 1/3 PX, 1/3 Macabeu, 1/3 Garnacha Blanca. — 10 years ago

Took 15 minutes to express itself. Bright refreshing touch of oak and nice tropical fruit balance. Quiet night with girl friend watching the Oscars / in background Julie Andrews from famous 50 yrs And Sound of Music. Songs song by a Incredible Lady Gaga! WOW! She was Incredible!

Olivier Jouan

Les Bussieres Vieilles Vignes Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir 2002

Elegant. Wound when opened. Needs 30 minutes to better express itself. Strawberry, some hay. Light bodied. Core of acidity that frames it all and softens with food and time. Medium long finish. Very pretty and far from being over the hill. — 10 years ago

Domaine Tortochot

Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2005

Delicious aroma of black pepper, earth, moss and cherry. This wine is beautifully balanced and drinking well right now. Flavors of cassis, cherry, spice and earth express typical Chambertin power. — 10 years ago
