Raventos I Blanc

Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1967

never been a fan but I’m told it was an amazing bottle. I have trouble with the bitter burned apricot pit finish I always find. Give me a TBA. — 14 days ago

Happy Anniversary Sofia. I miss you honey and will forever! Cortona calling. Cheers! 🍾🥂

I had this a few years ago and thought this needed another 3-4…apparently wasn’t wrong. Not as stellar as the 07. Starting come into its own. Golden apple, green apple, lime pulp, tropical melon, just ripe pineapple, ripe pear, vanillin, caramel, cream, sea spray, alluvial limestone minerals, beautiful mid grain chalkiness, brioche, baguette crust, nice, soft yeastiness, jasmine, yellow lilies, really nice acidity, well structured, balanced, delicious finish that lasts two-minutes. 🌹

Les Nourrissons Anjou Chenin Blanc 2018

Had very tough competition on the table but I knew many of my guests had never tried. A powerful wine balanced by its acidity. A great floral nose that becomes stone and orchard fruits in the mouth .
A baby and like many other bottles on the table , super balanced. Served it blind and all participants enjoyed but laughed at the current market price

Château Cheval Blanc

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

I had the CB 05 just about a year ago. Might be some bottle variation but this one felt a bit more raw and green than my previous encounter. Still amazing. Just a small observation. — 9 days ago

de Nit Rosé Cava Blend 2020

We opened this beautiful Cava, the 2020 Ravantós i Blanc Conca del Riu Anoia Extra Brut Cava Rose. From Catalonia Sant Sadurni D'Anoia, Spain. A blend of 44% Xarel-lo, 39% Macabeo, 12% Parellada and 5% Monastrell.

On the nose is strawberry, lemon, white peach, lime peel, almond and a bit of minerality.

On the palate there is strawberry, citrus, lemon, lime peel, tarragon, hazelnut, yellow apple and minerality.

This wine is medium bodied with an onion skin color with a bone dry mouthfeel medium + to high acidity that leaves us with a long fresh citrus wet rock finish. At $23 you can't go wrong. This will hang with the best sparkling wines. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend please stay safe and healthy heading into this week ahead. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂

Wow - best biodynamic bubbles. Brought back from our tour of Raventos in Spain and just amazing. Balance between mineral and apricot, no sugar. Great vintage. — a month ago

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2021

From the hotel minibar. Very NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Grassy, lemon, racy acidity and a little herbal/floral at the end. I haven’t had this style in a while, and I’m really enjoying it after a successful day out in Mile End. — 3 months ago
