Pale lemon in color with light golden hue.

Light nose and medium in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing lemons, yellow apples, oak, vanilla, spices, almonds, grapefruits and light herbs.

Clean finish with limes and grapefruits.

Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Crisp and refreshing.

Lots of oak and vanilla notes show up after 45 minutes of airtime.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food. Better when properly chilled.

13% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

Cristal Brut Champagne Chardonnay Pinot Noir Blend 2015

We had this a few days ago and I misplaced my notes. Citrus mineral and intensity I recall. Probably committing infanticide drinking this now but there were good reasons to. Firstly our son and wife plus our daughter home for Christmas from New York and secondly my retirement after 53 years at McDonald Group. — 4 days ago

Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon

very nice everyday cab from a reliable producer. Enjoyed much more on second day after much airing. Balanced with nice ripe berry flavors but missing the tannins punch. — a month ago

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

Saint-Joseph Syrah

Depth and concentration, this bottle is an ode to south saint joseph wines, with great balance and complexity. To achieve a better grade I need more finesse, but the vintages is also like that — 12 days ago

Beaujolais-Villages Gamay 2023

Lightly tannic, great mouth feel, good dark berry flavor and decent finish. All in all a solid beaujolais that I think is severely underrated on this app — 2 days ago

Bonnes Mares Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2003

It needed air, but it filled out well with time in the glass to show quite a lot of class. — 17 days ago

Clos Saint Jacques Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2009

Initially nice with red fruits, opening up with more forest floor after about 15 mins. 30 mins later, the heat of the vintage comes out. So, really enjoyable, but only for a pretty narrow window of time. — 20 days ago
