Great 2018, lots of verve and integrated reduction to balance out the ripe vintage.

Dec 7th, 2020Intense reduction initially, which with a sufficient decant blows off to reveal ripe yellow apple and pear, pastry cream and hints of baking spices. Great concentration, midpalate depth and balanced acidity with a long and intense finish. Great stuff.

From the Grasings wine list in Carmel, PnP. Light straw color, young. The nose jumps at you in the tasting glass from the Somm. Has that "dirty" fruit smell that I find unique in Niellon wines. Citrus, gravel rocks, earthy spice. Oily and palette staining in the mouth. Even more so with some air time. Great juice!

Jun 2nd, 2020Nice young light gold color. Great nose. Notes of lemon, apricot, dusty earth, minerals and some brown spice. Very rich in the mouth and fruit forward, especially for the vintage. Soft acidity. Great mouth feel and finish. Bottles like this could easily last 10 more years.

Cocktail hour at Christie's hosted by the Friends of Notre Dame in the effort to help raise money for the cathedral's restoration. The wines were artfully curated by @Noah May.
Second up was this delicious and supple white burgundy. Pears and apple blossom combine in this texturally elegant wine. The finish is adequate if a little stilted. It should be noted that when I had this wine with an elegantly crafted canapé, both exploded with taste. Next time it will be a whole bottle with a full meal!
