Les Beugnons Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2019
Neal Martin has to be smoking crack for his review of this wine. Anyway. Stunning nose of seashells, lemon merengue, Meyer lemon, airy minerals, oyster brine and so much more. Fantastic! Some wet stones as well and tree bark and semi wet soil. Big time Gout de Terroir. Palate is super elegant and has loads of salty, concentrated fruit and is energetic as all can be. Dense as this bottling usually is. What texture and richness but allied with salinity and a licking a rock finish that is very long. Ideally this needs 3-5 years but what a smoker now. What length! — 3 months ago

Vieilles Vignes de Gervans Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2017
Have not had in 2 years. It’s awesome now. Nose is olive and game. So wild. Black and red berry fruit. Granite galore. So fine. So refined. Gorgeous and wide open. Palate is a wonder. Super juicy and decadent but allied with terrific freshness and a smoking granitic finish also with notes of game, herbs and olive. The nose is a 9.6. Outrageous. Wow this is juicy. I’m going 9.5 here. The purity and clarity of fruit puts it over the top. — 5 months ago

The Original California Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Delicious and smooth at room temperature. Dark berry flavor is dominant, with such an easy finish. As a fan of cab sauvs, I like this one — 3 months ago
Di Filippo
Montefalco Sagrantino 2011
Over 4 years since the last time I opened a bottle from this case and ooh it is smoking! Perfumed, black fruits, intense plum, cassis?, huge secondary and tertiary spicy leather and herbs and forest, super smooth Tannins undetectable with the steak but still really grippy and prominent after. However, nicely integrate and balanced. — 5 months ago

Absolutely delicious and hitting at perfection. A nose of raspberry, plum and ripe rich fruits, hints of smoking rich wood, with a menthol like undertones, this wine is special. Strawberry, plum, mint, bubble gum, the works with a fresh, chalky and somehow powdery finish that lingers long after the first sip and silky smoooth tannins that leave the mouth feeling somehow both cool and fresh. — 14 days ago
