Cote de Lechet Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2014

9.4

Wow, super impressive 1er Chablis, initially shows some burnt match aromas, which then yields to some ripe lemony aromas and flavors, some minerality pokes through, great underlying acidity keeps it fresh and focused, long, lingering finish, absolutely excellent!! — 6 days ago

My favorite 1ers in Chablis, Léchet, then Montmains.

@Severn Goodwin, I know the importer of this bottle (West Coast), and he once told me that it was the 2014 Cote de Lechet that convinced him of the greatness of this producer’s wines!!

Salanques Priorat Garnacha Blend 2007

Jay Kline

9.2

Salanques: Poured into a decanter several hours prior and returned to the bottle just before dinner. The 2007 “Salanques” pours, a deep garnet color with a near opaque, core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and slightly desiccated red and dark fruits, red cherries, blackberries, dried red flowers, well-oiled leather, rocky minerals, light baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin (that is mostly integrated) and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Showing remarkable elegance; this is a delicious, gorgeous Priorat that is currently firing on all cylinders. A lovely pairing with paella a variety of traditional Spanish tapas. Drink now and over the next 10 years. — 2 months ago
