Clos La Néore Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2007
Bought a case of these on release for like (I think) $80 a bottle or so, opened a couple a few years later and was disappointed. I was told, “just wait.” And holy sh*t! Was that good advice. This blew my mind. If all Sauv Blancs/ sancerres tasted like this I’d have a new vice. Minerality out the wazoo, with perfectly balanced peach, grapefruit rind & melon notes…never cloying. Crisp, harmonious., unctuous. Downright delicious. Now I understand the current crazy prices. A one of a kind wine! — 2 years ago

Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2005
Château Quinault
L'Enclos St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
Must be hitting this at the exact right time, or it’s an exceptional bottle, but this shocked me. Bought on release and never opened a bottle until now…terrific surprise. Rich dark fruit pie, obligatory lead pencil, Christmas spices on the nose. Admittedly less complex on the palate - but it’s balanced, an excellent accompaniment to my rib-eye. A very nicely made wine. — 3 years ago
