(this is only released after 10 years of bottle aging). A fully mature, exotic and somewhat honeyed nose displays full-on secondary aromas of spice and ripe white-fleshed fruit but no sous-bois. The delicious, rich and full-bodied flavors are a combination of succulence and power while displaying excellent length on the clean, dry and complex finale. This is exceptionally good and especially so for the vintage.

The 2015 Pouilly-Fuissé Grand Beauregard Hommage à Joseph Burrier is a special cuvée, a selection of the best dozen or so casks, aged two years in cask, one year in stainless steel and seven years in bottle. It has a lucid green-gold hue and a very Côte d'Or-like bouquet that you might liken to a Chassagne-Montrachet—very well defined with scents of lime, yellow flowers and later a touch of clear honey. The palate is lightly spiced on the entry with a dab of stem ginger, tangy with marmalade and sour lemon. Slightly petrolly towards the finish like a mature Riesling with noble reduction, this is a fascinating late-release that will give pleasure over many years.(NM)

Gorgeous nose with strawberry, plum, stone iron and floral notes. Charming. This has lovely lucid fruit with good grip and some earthy notes. Pure and balanced and delicious. Young but excellent — 2 years ago

Vallée d'Aoste Pinot Noir 2020

Looks really good in a glass - lucid and dark cherry-raspberry like Chambord, a cordial tension of fruits and minerals. It's really lovely and has just enough complexity to work for a weeknight or weekend. — 3 years ago

Valmur Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2008

Posed and delicious. A hint of honey, some rock pool, pear and ripe apple. Stone and great texture. Long but a little less lucid than the mag of Monte alongside. Excellent — 3 months ago

Very pretty. Lucid fruit. Good structure with a savory and animal element. Not too intense but very correct with black pepper and herbs. Good stuff — a year ago

This stuff is probably on the way to becoming the next Clape or Allemand. So delicious.

It was a beautifully made wine. Lacked a little of the intensity of those two but great clarity of flavor. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for these going forward

Ah… the small mountain of immaculate butter. That and the baguette alone would be a treat of a meal. It was lovely to share a dinner with you after so long.

Yes—hope next time is sooner and seating closer so we can share a few laughs.

Château Gruaud Larose

Larose de Gruaud St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1959

What a joy. On opening the nose is spectacular and floral. After a few minutes in glass it’s settled. Leather, graphite, blood. There’s roses, delicate underbrush. Very lucid and clear. What a treat. — a year ago

Wow. Great to see

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

Hermitage Syrah 1978

From Mag. An absolute wow of a bottle. The nose is crazy intense, lucid and profound. Dark plum fruit with a whiff of band aid, iron, black pepper, a tangy meatiness. Loads of delicate floral notes floating around, but a soulful and pristine bottle. As fresh as an early 2000’s bottle but so much age and precision going on. Wonderful. Just spectacular. — a year ago

Alpha Estate

Hedgehog Vineyard Xinomavro 2018

Unfamiliar grape from uncommon place. Best described (by me) as remixed Nebbiolo with twist of cherry mint. Powerful and lucid at once, high alcohol, big boy tannin. Light and the color of ruby cherry juice with notes of pine and foresty cherry lozenge. — 4 years ago
