2/5/2024 - glassofhans Likes this wine: 93 pointsExcellent Pinot - impeccable elegance, great acid and tannin structure - not too much development at this point - likely to hold for another 5 ~ 10 years. Is it on par with a "great" burgundy? Not sure - depends on how it ages. But drinking well in its current window if you like younger profiles |

2018 Chanin Pinot Noir Los Alamos VineyardSanta Barbara County more |
2/5/2024 - glassofhans Likes this wine: 93 pointsPerfect drinking window - perfect burgundian nose of mushrooms, forest floor with red fruit. The structure of the wine is soft - good acidity, but lacking a tannic backbone. Unlikely to improve from here - drink up within 3 years. |

2014 Château Belle-Vue (Haut-Médoc)Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/22/2024 - glassofhans Likes this wine: 91 pointsEarthy, chalky, good (read med+) acidity, plummy fruit, hint of tobacco and green pepper - everything I'd want in a wine of this price. |

12/7/2023 - glassofhans Likes this wine: 92 pointsIndeed very burgundian (light, floral, somewhat austere in palate), will need more years to open up |

NV Château d'Yquem No. 7Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more |
6/19/2023 - glassofhans Likes this wine: 92 pointsLacking abit of the freshness and zing of d'Yquem itself, and some of the depth and elegance. But at this price, what a steal. |

2018 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti EchezeauxEchezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
6/5/2023 - glassofhans Likes this wine: 94 pointsVery young at this point - there's no discernable tertiary notes which I enjoy so much in Burgundy. Very dense wine, with chewy fruits, and a rounded mouth feel. So much intensity for Pinot, should lay down for 10 years or more. |

2017 Château d'YquemSauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more |
6/5/2023 - glassofhans Likes this wine: 95 pointsFirst time having a young (<10 years old) d'Yquem, had it at the Chateau itself. Sheer youthful vibrancy, dancing notes of fresh apricots, floral nose of honey suckle - in fact, tastes in my opinion, better than the older d'Yquems I've had. What a remarkable experience |

4/22/2023 - glassofhans wrote: 88 pointsRather muted flavours. I was told this is similar to Grange des Peres, but it’s nowhere near the depth and length of flavours - it’s similar in profile, but feels suppressed somehow. Of course it’s almost 1/10th the current price of Grange des Peres - but it wasn’t that long ago that Grange des Peres was only around 3x this price - anyway don’t think they’re in the same league. |

2/15/2023 - glassofhans Likes this wine: 92 pointsDefinitely too early for drinking, not properly tertiary yet. If you enjoy stronger primary notes and grippy tannins, feel free to pop now. |

2018 Au Bon Climat Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict VineyardSanta Ynez Valley more |
1/7/2023 - glassofhans Does not like this wine: 89 pointsDecent acidity, soft fruits. Highly highly buttery and oaky, not at all in line with the Burgundian style I came to expect from ABC - expected a Chablis, got a flatter less acidic, oakier version of Meursault. Still, some liked it |
