1990: This bottle given to me by Gaston Huet when I visited him in 1996, so no importation or pregnancy warning stickers to obscure the contents. Amber color revealing the level of botrytis in this vintage, since the wine was absolutely fresh. Creme bruleé nose. Silky mouthfeel, with explosions of fruit, ranging from baked apples, hints of vanilla, quince jelly and raisins. Long, long pleasing finish which is a fitting tribute to one of the true heroes of winemaking. Sublime. — 10 years ago

Domaine Bernard Baudry

Les Granges Chinon Cabernet Franc

This is an excellent modern-day entry level Cabernet Franc. Dazzlingly simple, yet awash with refreshing weight, dark fruit, Chinese spices, and a subtle dollop of black/green tea. If you are looking for something less obvious go back to red Burgundy. (This red straddles old world structure with new world gloss. I fear gloss will eventually win out. But for now...👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾) — 6 years ago

Domaine Pascal Cotat

Les Monts Damnés Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2000

Drinking very well today, with the complexity of bottle age still matched by some vibrant freshness – grapefruit, citrus zest, and waxy yellow fruit; bright, snappy acids; years of life still ahead of it. — 10 years ago
