Expression 44*

Saxum Vineyards

James Berry Vineyard 44 Grenache Blend 2007

Very big and rich. A slightly active shrill thing on the nose. Very rich plum and cherry. Roses and violets. A beast but rounded and under control. A bit much for my taste but it has some balance and purity that is admirable — 25 days ago

Stella di Campalto Podere San Giuseppe

Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2012

Along with the majestic 2010 one of my favorite Stella vintages. So giving right off the bat, never any heat, just so fresh and clean. Amazing expression of Sangiovese. — 2 years ago

Domaine de l'Ecu (Guy Bossard)

Expression de Granite Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Melon de Bourgogne 2018

Nice minerality, subdued lemon, a hint of oyster like salinity and more body than you’d expect from a Muscadet. — 2 years ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Butteaux Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2000

Tasted blind. Light gold color. Has a nose that immediately takes me to Chablis. Notes of honey, citrus, wet river stone, ocean breeze, tan spice and white chalky soil. Perfectly balanced in the mouth with lots of fruit and acidity. Screams Raveneau. I guess 2000 Raveneau Valmur. Had this side by side with the 2000 Fevre Clos… the 2000 Raveneau Butteaux had 4 hours of air in the decanter, the 2000 Fevre Clos only 30 min… it clearly showed (1) why you age Chablis and (2) why you give them hours of air to open before consumption. The Raveneau was outstanding and the Fevre didn’t have time to show its expression. — 4 years ago
