Intransigeance Pinot Noir Chardonnay Brut Nature Champagne 2018
Last bottle maybe 3+ months ago was super closed. Not this one. A nose of gorgeous brioche and some toastiness. Really nice mulling spices and some fruit I can’t quite identify. Also maybe some fresh baked dough? Not phyllo. But maybe phyllo? Gorgeous inner mouth aromas and such wonderful freshness. So sappy and pure with just unreal persistence. The wine just takes over your mouth. But it also finishes so savory. It’s remarkable. Maybe some florals on the nose as well as it opens. The mousse is so fine and my goodness this is juicy and the finish just has ripping minerals. It almost had a tannic like finish to it and it created a tactile sensation. The nose now is a spice bazaar of complexity. A dizzying array but it had a significant bazaar type of aroma. The nose is a 9.6 or 9.7 now after some air. It’s so juicy and sappy and approachable but still has length, acid and richness (18) without being anywhere near basic. Really salty finish.. — 3 days ago

Sous Roche Dumay Saint Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay 2022
Simply awesome. Nose is a hint of sweet framing oak, so much wet earth, wazoo minerals and some green apple. So aromatic. Wow. Palate is so elegant yet tense with citrus, pear and green apple and terrific acid on the backend and minerals that slather on the extended finish. So juicy and with tremendous freshness. Nose now going saline. So finessed yet with such impressive material. Tons of dry extract and man that finish is unbelievable. Okay, Holy Shit the nose is insane now. Just mega elite aromas. Floral, wet earth, sweet wood, stanky minerals. 9.9 nose. It’s just so deep and penetrating. Just insane. Okay, last sip has elevated this wine into 9.9 territory nose and palate. Just so elegant as to break your mind. How can something be so perfect? Most elegant Brisset white I have ever had. — 6 days ago

Les Noirots Chambolle - Musigny Premier Cru Pinot Noir 2022
Fist time since the cellar and while not closed on the pop and pour the nose is mute. It’s a bit all over the map. Serious bramble and earth. Dried leaves and twigs. All aromas point to closed. Some potent florals but it’s a struggle to find fruit on the nose. But there is an ineffable class to the aromas. Palate is much better but still a bit beastly. Sweet fruit and tannin but man this is ultra closed. I will be back. — 3 days ago

Les Lavières Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2022
Nose is ripe with late season red cherries. Spice, earth. Wet earth and tweed jacket. Really spectacular fruit on the nose. Almost a cola like intensity but it’s all Burg fruit. Terrific aromas. Really nice layered spices beyond that. Almost middle eastern. Juicy and so concentrated with such sappy and pure fruit. Man what amazing fruit here. So long and slippery. Really open now but will develop. More 22’s I taste more I have to pat myself on the back for making the call these would be open when they landed. Not one closed 22 so far. Fantastic wine. — 4 days ago

Kastanienbusch Pinot Noir 2021
Delicate strawberry nose. Some smoke, some gunpowder, mid to early season cherries and very fragrant. Very classic Very 21. Floral. Just an all star nose. 9.5. Very Pinot. Elegant, supple, and tangy. Some serious classic 21 structure little bit closed very fine tannin. really reminds me of an Alto Piemonte wine. it’s on its way to developing some mid palette sweetness and the tannins can sweeten out a bit. I think this has great upside right now. It’s got that typical 21 kind of tightness out of the bottle. but with air, I expect this to sweeten out. It’s maintaining its elegance while also being incredibly juicy. — 8 days ago

Just terrific. Nose has a bit of wildness to it but also florals, red berry fruit, Palate is elegant and juicy. Almost a Burgundian interpretation of Cote Rotie with how red the fruit is and how supple the mouthfeel is. The elegance here is inspiring. 21 is so so killer. — an hour ago
