Annual Man Cave dinner. 80+ wines accompanied by zebra, oryx, buffalo, bison and any other African meat you can imagine.

I’m scoring this based on QPR. Think this is $35’ish/bottle? Astounded. It’s got ripe and crisp apple notes, but also more of the toasted brioche, hazelnut and similar toffee notes to what I get with Roederer’s L’ermitage. Simply more chalk and limestone.

Rich and slightly oxidative. Spicy. Balanced dosage. Long and complex. Delicious, and a stunning value.

Truncated notes from our family Biden election celebration. Great nose, slight nuttiness, great Chardonnay fruit, clean and intense minerality. Love this.

Always reliably delicious with both richness and crisp elegance. An amazing Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs for the price.
