Flight 1 (5 Notes)

  • NV Emilio Lustau Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Don Nuño Dry Oloroso 91 Points

    Spain, Andalucía, Jerez-Xérès-Sherry

    Really good concentration and depth, salty depth, good fruit, the sweetness is a bit distracting.

  • 2007 Domaine de Montille Corton-Charlemagne 93 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru

    Extremely fresh and youthful, hint of reduction on the nose, so energetic and mineral, cool and herbal, cream and lemon, tightly wound but not austere, silky and balanced, relatively terse in its expression, elegant and poised, long and stylish. Will last.
