1-023. Delicious! We really liked this version of my favorite sauvignon blanc wine, Pouilly-Fumé! Dry, mineral, crushed rock, lemon, grapefruit, bit of apple, feeling you drink the sea because of the saline notes, but also fresh mountain air and a pleasant bitter note in the end. I'm going to fill my stock with this gorgeous mineral lady - whether my wife likes it or not ;-) in fact - my wife loved this wine a lot.

1-022. Got this on an auction in 2016 for EUR 17 a bottle, and forgot about it in my cellar. Was pleased by this: nice glass of regular Bordeaux, fair value for money. Typical Bordeaux pine and eucalyptus. Rosemary and thyme. Licorice, leather and black pepper. Fruit tones were not very prominent, time to finish my remaining 4 bottles, don't think it will improve but will give pleasure with a meal.

1-021. I love the J.L. Chave Selection Mon Coeur, this is the 4th vintage in my cellar and hard to beat the value for this money. Dark purple, tannins are fresh, almost grainy; high in alcohol. Also a pleasant hint of immature green. Scrubland, thyme, rosemary, licorice. Plenty of fruits: blueberry, blackberry, plum. Overall an almost sweet impression; glad to drink it a bit chilled. I will try the next bottle after 1-2 years of cellaring to see how it develops. Love this.
