9.5

Nose of roses and truffles evolves to dried herbs and balsamic notes. Wonderfully complex in the mouth, with integrated tannins and a long fruit finish. Although this opened up nicely with decanting, it has plenty of years left to evolve. Savor now through 2025. — 10 years ago

Nose of slate and smoke, but some of that rich fruit you'd expect from Picq. Fresh and crisp in the mouth with just a little bit of that Picq richness. Long, mineral-rich finish. Great now and for several years. — 10 years ago

9.4

Nose of smoke and truffles expands to cherry and earth as the wine opens up. Dense and rich in the mouth, medium-to-full bodied, with a long, complex finish that doesn't end. The dusty tannins are just beginning to yield a drinkable wine; good now through 2023. — 10 years ago

9.3

Nose of lemon, pineapple, and wet stone. Not as broad or fruity in the mouth as the nose, more classic Chablis than François Raveneau, with high acid and a finish of crushed oyster shell. Beautiful. Drink over the next decade. — 10 years ago

Albesani is a vineyard on the same hill as Santo Stefano. Gorgeous, perfumed nose of dark cherry, rose, truffle, and underbrush. This is a tremendous sleeper of a wine. Good now and for 10+ years. — 10 years ago

Huge nose of stewed cherry, cigar box, and leather. Big and brooding in the mouth with a long finish of savory herbs. Still some tannins; this is just now coming into its own. Good now through 2025. — 10 years ago
