2020 Piolet Sauvignon BlancRoyal Slope more |
4/12/2022 - Edward Hafer wrote: 94 pointsWow, a totally different take on sauvignon blanc. Relates to a standard Napa sauvignon blanc in a similar way that a Dagueneau relates to a standard Pouilly-Fume. Hugely interesting mix of citrus peal and tea notes, great complexity, and just plain fun. The kind of wine you call the winery the next day to see how to get on any lists they may have. |

2001 Château GuiraudSauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more |
12/31/2016 - Edward Hafer wrote: flawedNo obvious flaw to the bottle, but it was entirely lacking in flavor. Must have been flawed, definitely disappointing given how other 2001 Sauternes have been so thrilling. |

1990 Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut La Grande DameChampagne Blend more |
1/1/2015 - Edward Hafer wrote: 96 pointsFrom magnum. This took a few minutes to open, but then blossomed, showing red apple, pear, toast, and beautiful spice. One of the best champagnes I have ever had, and was eclipsed only by the 1976 Rene Colliard rose opened by Jon. Both were spectacular. |

2002 Chateau Potelle Chardonnay VGS Mt. Veedermore |
7/31/2013 - Edward Hafer Likes this wine: 91 pointsHad two bottles, one was flawed. The sound bottle was buttery, complex and very satisfying. Some fruit left, mainly lime, and good structure. Very impressed for its age. |

6/1/2013 - Edward Hafer Likes this wine: 93 pointsWow! This is showing great right now. Large scale but complex and light on its feet. Makes no effort to hide each of the varieties' unique flavor profiles - red cherry, blackberry, orange peel, burnt earth, exotic spices, and plum. |
