Cellared since release, decanted for 2hrs...my first time tasting a TTT. INKY and extracted blackberry and pomegranate syrup color...nose kind of shy at first, then explodes with white pepper dusted fresh crushed wild berries...kirsch liqueur, candied dry fruits, molasses chews, deep wood smoke, violet florals...WOW!! Fascinating on the palate as it's totally savory and not sweet at all! Expecting this huge extracted sweet juice like all SQN wines...and it's totally dry and void of sugar? Like when you baked choc chip cookies and you forgot to put in the sugar! VERY intriguing...and it grows on you. In the mouth, everything on the nose, dialed to 11...really velvety smooth like a Petite Sirah...16.4 abv impeccably balanced...really dig the graphite dryness and insane uniqueness in this wine! Cool stuff!

2014 Mayacamas Vineyards Chardonnay

Of course, last bottle in the cellar always the best! Aging wonderfully...still reminding me of a riper aged Cru Chablis...has that iodine, crushed limestone, salty sea air...the fruit is SO pure and crystalline...pitted orchard, butter sauteed green apple...still a huge cut of lemon citrus...blanched almonds...pretty white flower florals...dried honey...REALLY nice balance of richness and energy...just the slightest alc nip and wood spice just to show where you really are...should have plenty more left in the tank on this one...such a great Chardonnay!

2014 Bouchard Père et Fils Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières

I think these are getting sweeter? Just a couple bottles left from a case, and we are getting farther away from Perrieres, and closer to Aubert? Kind of kidding, but kind of not. Maybe it's all that energy charged OR Chard I've been drinkin of late. Anyway...this is still top notch Meursault here! Sappy orchard fruits, with a drizzle of honey and sprinkled sea salt...SUCH pretty lime/white flower blossom florals...chalky crushed limestone...little more toasted marshmallow...precise and beaming with fresh juiced citrus...dry extract...very broad and mouth filling...even a little oily viscosity. I mean this wine is LOADED with flavor and Meursault-ness...I just wish it had a tad bit more Perrieres and less sweetness...but nitpicking I guess. Would love to try this one in 20 more years!
