Yellow citrus, yellow pear, lemon and orange zest, candied/honey lemon, white stone, and hints of buttered popcorn and glycol. A fortified flavor burst of energy on the front end, but still holding…
From Magnum. A phenomenal showing this time around. After about two hours of air and some vigorous swirling in the decanter, this absolutely gorgeous wine kicked-out all sorts of seductive and…
My previous note from the beginning of the year still applies. Buttery citrus, poached pear, honey, and subtle butterscotch. A sultry Chardonnay all the way through. A melts in your mouth kind of…
Two years ago since I last had this wine. PnP kicked out some off-putting spritz that threw the flavors all out of whack. It tasted like a Sauvignon Blanc had a love child with a super dry…
PnP at 50-52 degrees, with a zesty but buttery-smooth yellow citrus dominated core. Lemon curd, lemon zest, honeydew, citrus oil, honey, olive oil, clarified butter, and some vanilla. Perfect…
Finished a previously Coravin'd bottle. Hazelnut, lemon curd, and vanilla bean notes emerged with extended air. The strong green apple element from the initial Coravin pour had subsided considerably,…
Black cherry, clove, mulch, evergreen, and hints of orange oil. Still a little linear, but just starting to push out some decent flavors over the course of two+ hours of consumption. A touch thin…
Beautifully crafted and just the right amount of richness, this UV-SL was pumping out classically elegant and unctuous flavors of ripe yellow citrus, lemon curd, lemon grass, honey, meringue, ripe…
A little over a year-and-a-half since I last had this wine. Much more giving this time around, with a nice combination of flash and sophistication. PnP was rockin' out some pretty compelling flavors…
Previous notes apply from over a year ago in terms of the specific flavor profile. Not too much has changed with this wine, with notes of high-pitched yellow citrus, lemon grass, quince, white stone…
Exactly what I expect from Aubert's interpretation of the Hudson site. Flavorful and giving notes of luscious yellow citrus, lemon curd, pineapple, fresh vanilla bean, poached pear, ripe green apple,…
This is certainly starting to come around even more since last year. Some time in bottle has allowed additional flavors to emerge in a way that further elevates this wine into a more sophisticated…
Previous notes apply. Still awesome and a little difficult to find much fault with this wine (or most Aubert Chardonnays really). Maybe not my favorite Aubert when compared to CIX or Lauren, but that…
A beautiful bottle of wine. A little more melted honey, lemon curd, and clarified butter flavors than some of the other more exacting and mineral driven Auberts (i.e.: Eastside). Slightly round on…
2015 Aubert CIX vs. 2015 Morlet Coup de Coeur - Two RP 100 point domestic Chardonnays side-by-side. Served with homemade pasta and lobster with a white wine and thyme reduction sauce/lobster jus.
Same as my previous notes 8 months ago. Drinking extremely smooth but with a push that really drives the flavors forward through the mid-palate and on to a beautifully suave finish. A very balanced…
Nose of dried cranberry, musk, and fresh turned mulch. On the palate, a linear and thin attack of black cherry, stewed plum, green peppercorn, oregano, and wet tanbark. I detected and recognized what…
Giving and ripe, with a tender delivery that pushes the flavors gradually across the palate. Rounded and somewhat soft notes of yellow citrus, light honey, and phyllo. A touch yeasty on the back end,…
Tight and compacted, with somewhat linear notes of yellow citrus and white stone core fruit, granite, pumice, and limestone. Burgundian in style, with a laser-like but somewhat lithe focus streaking…
An exquisitely beautiful and flavorful Chardonnay. Full of life and energy, flaunting rich, boisterous lemon curd and yellow citrus core fruit, with some roasted marshmallow, olive oil, and honey.
