When 05 MDT is on it’s hard to beat. An absolutely pristine bottle tonight, in color barely having aged a day, still markedly youthful with captivating aromatics, a powerful, voluminous and waxy textured palate that comes with age, racy lemony acids and crystalline minerality. There’s such tremendous weight and density in this vintage yet it’s still chiseled and focused in its delivery. Just brilliant tonight. Thunder mountain ftw 🥳 — 5 days ago

This is a seriously underrated Champagne. 50-50 blend, 04-05 base, 17 years on the lees. Rich and complex, fantastic bubbles. — 11 days ago

The best vintage for Dauvissat since 2014 imo, 2020 MDT, the rarest parcel from the Domaine is impeccable in this vintage, floral, satiny and concentrated with layered richness and Chablisen minerality, it keeps gaining in weight in the decanter building throughout the night. It’s pure, textural and expansive and most of all complete even in its early stages. The best MDT Dauvissat has made thus far, just its 7th vintage for the vineyard. Yellow wax bottlings for whatever reason, even if the difference is merely filtration, always show better than foil. — 17 days ago

Served blind—called 2018 Vatan Clos de Neore! 07 is unbelievably youthful and delicious. The most singular expression of Sauvignon Blanc. A shame that with age, it’s so rare to have a pristine bottle like this. — 11 days ago

Definitely the most expressive young vintage I’ve had of a La La. Very giving already. Was a perfect pairing for lamb. — 11 days ago

Another superb showing from a 2011 red burg. This vintage seems to have really turned a corner. No doubt in a leaner style but absolutely zero greenness or underripe character, but rather exceptionally elegant and detailed with a beautiful perfume and silky palate.

Along with this one, my favorite 2011 reds in the past year…
