Laurent Tribut

Chablis Chardonnay 2020

9.2

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. No formal notes. The 2020 Laurent Tribut is a distinctive and strikingly delicious Chablis on a night of many other examples from the region. The fruit is abundant; fresh and pure with lovely acid and minerals. The next generation is looking bright! Drink now through 2030+ — 6 days ago

2005 bu en 2025. Un magnifique cabso qui a de beaux tannins un peu plus soyeux. Wow! — 2 months ago

Coteaux Cornas Syrah 2016

Bob McDonald

9.0

Blackcurrant and leather notes. Very savoury on the palate - a little disappointing to be honest. See previous Delectable note. I haven’t had a lot of experience with Cornas and was looking forward to this because of its stellar reputation. I have a reasonable collection of Clape Cornas in my cellar which are not ready to drink yet. To be honest this was a bit underwhelming compared to many stellar Shiraz we are lucky enough to have in Australia. Hopefully the Clape, the Rostaing and the Jamet with time in my cellar will be impressive. — 20 days ago

I love Cornas but generally am not a huge fan of this house.

Salmos Priorat Cariñena Blend 2019

Scott Kahn

9.3

What a delightful, full-bodied, priorat blend at a value price. We drank both the 2019 and the 2020 vintages; the latter was a touch more fruit forward but both were well balanced with great acidity to complement a ribeye steak. Yet another positive experience with Torres as a producer. — 2 months ago
