2009 vintage. Candied tangerines, honeycomb, honeysuckle, dried apricot, poached pear, super concentrated but with a strong verve of acidity. Super delicious! — 10 years ago

Melée Grenache

2012 vintage. Tart, juicy red plums and red currant on the nose with what I determine to be a candied pomegranate quality. It's sweet and has a sheen at the same time. The palate has a zesty acidity with elevated alcohol and some firm tannins. A well done grenache that shows vibrancy and verve. — 10 years ago

Les Grands Charrons Meursault Chardonnay 2008

The palate is full of lively verve. Lemon lime high acidity. What seemed at first to be notes of hazelnut actually blew off. In fact I mistook these notes. The wine seems to be rather reduced. Color is light gold/dark lemon. Went well with roast pork. — 10 years ago

La Forest Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2004

Beautifully aged. Round citrus notes, chalk, candied pineapple on the nose. A lovely mouthful of briny, citrus-y salty goodness, brimming with acidity and verve. Top class. — 11 years ago

Bottled after 8 years? I need to learn more about that!

There's a verve running through this wine! So excited to see this on the list at Water and Wall! (Sadly this was the second to last bottle. Saving the rest to drink tomorrow and looking forward to see this evolve!) — 9 years ago

Suspiro Del Moro Silvaspoons Vineyard Alvarelhão 2014

Another paradoxical wine: such broad and deep flavors but a concise little package. Great stuff, gamey red fruit with poise and verve. — 10 years ago

9.0

2009: quite dense appearance; ripe black / red fruit w a faint touch of horse hair (Brett ); generously proportioned attack of ripe red and black fruit, leads onto medium weight palate which finishes fruitfully but without the verve of a "classic" vintage. A satisfying and quite delicious drink without being memorable. A lot of 09 burgundies would fit these descriptors. — 10 years ago

Domaine Michel Niellon

Clos de la Truffière Les Chaumées Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2012

Excellent stuff, young but lively, full of energy and verve. Little bit of caramel and lots of fruit still. Oak well integrated and gave it weight. Really good stuff from Niellon — 10 years ago

Domaine Ramonet

Les Ruchottes Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2006

Solid, but a bit lacking in verve. Classy and powerful, just a little short on elegance. — 10 years ago

Very 06 character. And very good wine, if not the best bottle of Ramonet ever. Also a bit lost in the mix being opened after several great bottles.
