Coteaux Cornas Syrah 2016

A whiff of high quality Syrah which goes without saying. More savoury than fruit driven and at 8 years, leathery. A trace of oak. Not near as fruity as high quality Australian Shiraz. Cornas - Earlier maturing than Hermitage on the opposite bank and to the north. — 17 days ago

Chablis Chardonnay 2017

Talk about over delivering. Drinking well above its price point and the designation. Medium intensity on the nose with green apples and flint initially. Citrus and floral aromas then come to the forefront after some time.

Well made with terrific balance and structure through and through. Nutty and citrusy with far more depth than you’re expecting for an entry level bottle. Expressive grapefruit and pears on the palate. Chalk, vanilla, and a smidgeon of butter complements. A really, really solid Chablis and an outstanding value.

Brut Millésimé Champagne Blend

So good! The wine is white gold in color with a fine sparkle. A flowery nose of great complexity, with notes of citrus and white peaches. A wine that is very present with a lively attack and great finesse with good minerality and notes of grapefruit on the finish. — 2 months ago

Grand Siècle Grande Cuvée Champagne Blend

Wow! Delicate bubbles let the chard and Pinot noir shine through. A bit of vanilla and bright lemon and brioche. Not too dry and a lovely bright mouth feel. Fantastic! — 5 months ago

Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Blend 2009

Quite austere, maybe a few years past its prime, nose redolent of Grenache, but palate very restrained, reminiscent of faded fruit. Quite tannic actually. J says you can really sense the “vielles vignes”. Very good but would love to try something newer, maybe a 2015 — 8 months ago

Volnay Pinot Noir 2021

Nose is so expressive. Gorgeous ripe mid season cherries and elegant spices. Some lovely earth and limestone scents and minuscule hint of wood. Palate is bursting with cherry fruit and is so sapid. Concentrated, fresh and full of red fruits and a supple texture and engaging sweetness. Barely any tannin but what is there is so fine. — a month ago

Haven’t had in over a year. Love this wine. Nose is perfect dark red cherries. Some glorious spice and earth. Terrific texture and purity. Grippy and glorious with vivid red cherry fruit and some faint licorice and awesome freshness. Very sneaky length. — 7 months ago
