Continues to impress with its swirling array of mineral-injected citrus flavors and pithy/punchy delivery. A chalky frame keeps everything in keen focus. Notable chiseled speed here. Mid-palate…
Just as awesome as last year. It was great on first pull, but also improved even more with air. Such controlled verve and focused flavor expansion. The kiwi-meets-green apple flavors are really…
Drink these up now...as in, before the summer kicks into full gear (well, by COVID standards at least). This bottle was even less expressive than it was 6+ months ago. Medium-light on the attack and…
Round, plush, and full of gooey vanillin oak that almost completely washes over the ripe lemon curd and tropical fruit flavors. Saccharine-driven and cloying. Zero cut or frame.
Served side by side with a '16 Mikulski Meursault (general; non-1er), this zesty '15 Mikulski Poruzots 1er carried brighter focus and more chiseled mineral elements when compared to the general…
Continues to drink beautifully. Served side by side with a zesty '15 Mikulski Poruzots 1er, which carried brighter focus and chiseled mineral elements to it. However, this Meursault offering held its…

See previous notes. Drinking well now out of the bottle on PnP. Yellow apple skin, lychee, yellow citrus, green apple flesh, travertine, and some unripe grapefruit. An almost Sauvignon Blanc higher…
A slight step up from last year. In a great spot right now with about two hours in the decanter at just below cellar temperature. A little gummy on the back end, but the viscosity is what makes for a…
Similar to a few months ago. A peaches and cream flavor emerged in addition to the other yellow and orange citrus notes. A succulent Les Clos, with perhaps slightly less tension and verve than the…
With its plump yellow citrus core on full display, the 2017 Ma Princesse is showing a more vanillin-laced profile than six months ago when I last sampled it. A rounder dose of creamy oak and some…
As awesome as the last time I had it. For folks who are looking for a CA Chardonnay that parrots quality white Burg with that extra oomph of intensity, THIS is your wine. Gorgeous tension and verve.…
Well... it tastes like Sauvignon Blanc. It's fresh. It's crisp. It hits the lychee, grapefruit, yellow apple, lemon and lime zest, and melon rind notes as expected. It's... Sauvignon Blanc.
Continues to deliver well executed lemony yellow citrus flavors. Has a decent degree of finesse for a village Bourgogne, avoiding the angularity that can come from others in this class. Satisfying…
This wine just straight owns! There are lime zest and limestone-laced kiwi notes that kick the volume of this thing past 11. The best representation of the Perrieres site I've ever experienced. So…
Impresses for its exquisitely seamless delivery of honeyed yellow citrus and yellow pear flavors. Shows Grand Cru concentration and sophistication, with balanced excecution from start to finish. In a…
Green apple, lemon gummy bear, petrol, and some white and green melon rind. Sweet and fairly cloying, which stomps on the fruit a bit and makes for a saccharine-laced delivery. Finishes without much…
I'm continuing to love this wine. Some tropical fruit notes, with stone fruit, melon rind, and a well placed delivery of minerality to accompany the yellow citrus core. Such a sense of completeness…
Not too dissimilar from my experience back in November 2018. Glycol-laced vanilla, honey, and lemon curd surrounded by spritzy lemonade and white and yellow peach flavors. Alcohol on the finish took…
The yellow citrus core executes its flavors precisely with the white mineral notes, making for a subtly tense and nervy, but decadently focused expansion on the palate. Intent and deliberate, but…
Lemon verbena, lemon and lime zest, and wet limestone. Primary and pure, with a clean but linear delivery at this juncture. Much more straight-laced than the 2015. Tasty but in need of 3+ years to…
Lemon and limestone, with some unripe pear and ripe green apple flesh. Medium all the way around, with a decent grip and speed to harness the flavors and provide focus. Hold this for a few years.…
White stone fruit, lemon juice, lemon rind, white travertine, and unripe pear. More on the white end of the fruit spectrum, with the yellow citrus following closely behind. Direct and fairly linear…
Ripe and ready yellow citrus, petrol, olive oil, clementine, travertine, and some vanilla. Delicious now (I can't figure out if I'm concerned or happy about that). Lacks a little speed from what I'd…
Mature and ready for consumption. Viscous honeyed lemon and yellow citrus, pineapple, light olive oil, hints of butterscotch, brass rail, and some torched sugar. Luckily, this finishes dry and…
