France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru
Nose: Lemon oil and some old wood chest. Palate: Lemon hints as this is mature. Somewhat bitter but not overwhelming. Pleasant but drink up. 89+ points.
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Nose: Stargazer lily, white pepper, assorted additional flowers and sweet blue fruits. Very cool nose. Palate: Still good tannin levels with the white pepper, black fruits and a medium long finish. Really solid CdP!
Nose: Floral black fruits with pencil lead, subtle road tar and cassis. Palate: Soft tannins with subtle spices, black fruits and a lengthy finish. Really solid and narrowly my favorite of the tasting just over the CdP.
Nose: Lots of botrytised aromas with some very subtle herbal hints. Palate: Big honey with solid botrytis flavors and good balancing acid. Long finish. Just wonderful!
