Because pandemic means drinking wine again with friends is a special occasion, time to break out some good Burgundy. I don’t have many bottles of Premiere Cru Burgundy, but this one felt like it needed drinking this afternoon. Right off the bat it had an incredible bacon and smoked meat aroma that was pretty alluring, with flavors of raspberry and black raspberry tinged with herbs and forest floor. Fairly rich and robust on the Burgundy spectrum, but gorgeously silky and balanced. — 3 years ago

Krug

Grande Cuvée Brut Champagne Blend

World premiere of the 170 edition. A dazzling streak of acidity runs through this. Soft composed lemon notes and a subtle minerality. Quite light at the moment. It needs some time in bottle to flesh out but great material — 2 years ago

Fortunate enough to taste this lovely wine 11 years after its vintage and it was singing. #napa #pnv Only 5 cases produced. “This wine showcases our 200 acres of estate vineyards by using a blend of the five classic Bordeaux grapes from five landmark Napa Valley appellations. Deeply fruited and elegantly structured, this wine combines nuance and power for a classic bottling. Our Premiere Napa Valley bottling showcases rich texture and deep complexity. Aromas of ripe blackberry, Bing cherry, clove and star anise leap from the glass and balance a dense palate of black plum, cassis and toasty cocoa with a smooth finish framed by dusty tannins.
