12/6/2022 - SinawoyCellars wrote: 96 pointsVery surprised as I'd had the pleasure of enjoying this wine in other vintages which were very good, but this '14 was drop dead gorgeous Meursault. Lots of focus and mineral in palate initially. By mid sip, this wine fans out and offers up some roundness with ample fruit. Could hold off for another few years, but absolutely singing right now. |

Has just enough verve into some nice orchard fruit. Labelled "An Zero" presumably b/c Laurent's negociant operation didn't really start in earnest until '16. I'd drink up here given vintage and how this showed. Lovely stuff |

2008 Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Clos VougeotClos Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
4/6/2022 - SinawoyCellars wrote: 98 pointsComing into its own right now with some air - slow ox'd for 3.5 hours. Just an incredibly elegant wine. The mineral core comes through but so does the darker fruit into a long finish as you'd expect. Has that grand cru mouthfeel in mid-palate. This will be really good for the foreseeable future, but was a wonderful check-in. 70% new oak treatment has completely integrated by now (and with air). Maybe the best Clos Vougeot I've had this side of Rene Engel |

2013 Patricia Green Cellars Pinot Noir Balcombe Vineyard Dundee Hillsmore |
12/21/2021 - SinawoyCellars Likes this wine: 92 pointsReady to go. Color shows some age. Mature in a great way with dark fruits, some earthiness, just enough backbone and a nice finish. No reason to wait and if this was an old world wine it would be much better known. |

1999 Philipponnat Champagne Brut Clos des GoissesChampagne Blend more |
1/25/2021 - SinawoyCellars Likes this wine: 98 pointsDrank from Magnum and now scouring for more! Smoky, earthiness in mid-palate that is incredibly distinctive. Finish is still pulsing with energy. Everything you'd be looking for in a middle-aged, high-toned and energetic Champagne. Can't recommend this enough even though I'm not looking for too much competition in the secondaries market :> |

10/5/2020 - SinawoyCellars Likes this wine: 99 pointsI don't give out a 99 lightly - 2018 disgorgement. Incredible oxidative notes layered over a powerful mid palate. 50 second finish. Worth seeking out for Rose benchmarking to say the least! |

2008 Agrapart Champagne Grand Cru Vénus Brut Nature Blanc de BlancsChardonnay more |
10/5/2020 - SinawoyCellars Likes this wine: 97 pointsJust adding depth to the piercing mineral core now. Absolutely bristling with energy as you would expect with this wine. This is a 30-40 Year Champagne that is just getting interesting now - wow |

5/7/2019 - SinawoyCellars wrote: 97 pointsSo different than the '09 and I like them both. The '08 is so powerful, precise and has darker berry notes both on the nose and through the early signs of a mousse-like finish. Should age well, but hard to keep these in the cellar! |
