Tasted a lot of 2023 burgundies last weekend. Thought I’d try a white with some age.
With aging white burgundy, sometimes it gives you a touch of v/a. This is on nose but not the palate. Believe it is v/a but there is some confusion with the scent of mushrooms. Thought it might be some burgundy cellar funk. But yes, some detectable v/a. Yet, it’s not entirely offensive.
The palate show excellent viscosity. It’s full & round. Golden-green apples, creamy lemons, some lime zest, both stone fruits, not so sweet pineapple syrup & kiwi notes, warm caramel, Brach’s butterscotch candy, gentle but thick honey, their is some unfortunate, faint wet cardboard that comes once it opens up, mushrooms, saline-sea foam, excellent, white spice, oyster fossils, touch of flintiness-gun powder, smooth chalky powder, wet limestone marl, some herbal notes, yellow lilies, white Spring florals set in greens, pleasant, round acidity with perfect balance, mid toned/structured, nicely knitted, elegant, rich finish that lasts 90 seconds and lands on spice, chalk and volcanic minerals on the long set.
Unfortunate about the minimal cardboard. I’d add a point, maybe two w/o it.

Grapefruit and plenty of mineral on both nose and palate. Some austerity as you often get with Saint Aubin. As Jasper Morris MW describes the terroir - “A steep south west facing vineyard overlooking the hamlet of Gamay. It offers attractive wines but not in the First Division of St-Aubin.” The following night notes of mandarin on the palate with the ever present mineral. — a month ago
I just had a glass and honestly this is what you want Chardonnay to taste like. Honestly. Amazing. Citrus, almond. Fresh. I’m here for it — 4 months ago
Tightly reductive, floral and coy citrus, palate feels a bit empty, linear acid driven finish — 5 months ago
It’s no secret PYCM made incredible 11’s. Les Caillerets couldn’t have shown better tonight, fully open and giving wafting from the glass with layers of white peach, toasted hazelnut and pastry cream. The palate is impeccably refined, elegant, pure and chiseled with racy lemony acids, superb weight for the vintage and a long stony mineral inflicted finale. Excellent, and still quite young. — 8 months ago
"Odedi"
Dark ruby/ Inky in color, with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose of red fruits with light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, light earth and herbs.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with raspberries, cherries, plums, light oak, spices, milk chocolates, tobacco, licorice, light herbs and peppercorn.
Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious 10 years old Syrah from Washington State. Elegant and rich, fruit forward and smooth. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Complex and interesting.
Very typical to the Terroir, which is nice to see. The alcohol is nicely integrated by now.
I had this vintage 5 years ago and it is drinking much better now. Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.
A blend of 94% Syrah with 6% Viognier. Aged in (20% new) French Oak barrels for 19 months.
14.1% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
