A well made Bourgogne, with predictable yellow citrus, unripe stone fruit, and some white rock notes delivered in a somewhat powerful unfolding of medium+ flavors. Finishes a little abrasive and…
Deeply pitched and showing a slightly more advanced flavor profile than expected, the Sechet displays notably balanced and medium intensity grilled lemon, clementine, olive oil, and river rock notes.…
From magnum. This is pretty much in pineapple syrup territory for me at this juncture. Viscous and potent, with nutty and dark overtones that wax the palate and become sludgy on the finish.
100% Sauvignon Blanc. A typical but still stimulating Sauvignon Blanc profile of yellow and white pear, white peach, lemon curd, lime, lemon verbena, grass, and some barrel spice notes are presented…
Nutty and petrol-driven, with lamp oil and roasted walnut characteristics that make for an overly brassy execution of flavor, this 2000 is for those who value tertiary flavors over freshness. Bruised…
Ripe and ready upon opening, the 2017 Feathm White's succulent yellow citrus and stone fruit flavors cascade across the palate with a gorgeous and delineated pulse that strikes a perfect chord…
Clean and lean, with a sanitized delivery of fairly predictable yellow citrus and white stone flavors that are surely tasty, but a bit uninteresting to me overall. Lacks some intensity and…
A beautifully smooth and creamy Romanee, now showing a more succulent side than previous more spunky bottles. In an agreeable drinking window now, though I personally miss some of the extra zip and…
Similar to my note from last year. Indeed a bit more depth and expansion this go-around. Fresh and not too brassy, finishing beautifully dry but not so palate-sucking that it pulls away from offering…
Solid performance as always. Fresh and lemon-lime driven, with green apple, quince, and wet limestone notes adding to the profile. Flirts with 1er Cru energy and tension. One of the better base model…
Continuing to drink great. A little hint of the exotic/tropical adds interest and depth. In a perfect place right now. Serve a little warmer than refrigerator temperature but cooler than cellar…
Very similar to the 2016, this year-younger sibling performs with party-boat lemony yellow citrus affableness that quenches a dry palate on an even drier and hot day. A nearer-term drinker for sure…
This was a powerful showing, with some of its brawn really coming to the party early on (and staying for a while) before loosening-up its flex and allowing the yellow citrus and white stone elements…
This is consistently one of the best Meursault Perrieres I've ever had. It has everything I want in a white Burg from this region. Zippy and fresh lemon-lime Squirt citrus zest (reminding me more of…
In a perfect drinking window. So tasty and alluring. Notable depth and Grand Cru intensity, this Les Clos delivers exactly what I want from this site and this producer. Lovely lemony succulence with…
More tropical and round than previous bottles, this Sauvignon Blanc has quickly progressed and is on the downslope now. This was a bottle I shoulda killed last summer. Drain 'em if ya got 'em.
Still plump with vanillin lemon curd on the front end, with the luscious components outweighing much precision or delineation of flavor. Comes off a bit ripe. Served next to a 2016 Vice Versa Platt…
A perfect Monday evening sipper, with fresh and salivating yellow citrus and white melon rind notes that hop around the palate, finishing with a soft limestone flavor that adds interest. There's…
Similar to last year. The 2017 has more punch and tension next to this 2018 - not surprising given the comparative vintage characteristics. This still has enough speed, freshness, and grip to keep…
A gorgeous and punchy Chablis, with notable gravitas that extols its 1er cru class with confident depth and sophistication. The weight here is perfectly balanced with the lemon juice and Squirt…
This is a beautiful bottle of wine, but the house style here still continues to perplex me just a bit, as I find it to come off as a more strict interpretation of a Grand Cru Chablis. Nothing wrong…
Grassy green flavors intermix with notes of white lemon pith, green grape skin, and almond dust. Finishes with a dry sherry characteristic that draws out moisture from the palate. A wine that…
An interesting expression of Chardonnay, with more mature and somewhat oxidized notes of apricot, grilled lemon, and olive oil. Holds just enough freshness to provide lift for the more brassy…
