2014 Sylvain Dussort Bourgogne Blanc Cuvée des Ormes
12/22/2017 - unstrucksound wrote:
Very good potential but nearly unapproachable at this stage (2017-12-22). Reticent nose, very tightly wound flavors, disjointed oak influence, lots of heat on the finish, but the fruit is pure and the finish is very long. Opened up and offered some enjoyment after three days in the fridge. Hold for a year or two and try again.

2014 Division Winemaking Company Chardonnay "Trois" COOPER MOUNTAIN
12/7/2017 - unstrucksound Likes this wine:
Wine was off-balance and a bit iffy (little oak integration) out of the bottle but really came alive on Day 2. Good to excellent depth. White flowers and lemon curd with a saline quality. 12.1% alcohol. Moderate to lengthy finish. Surprising complexity. Fermentation in barrel, 16 months aging (50% new and 50% neutral Burgundy barrels). Definitely one to have a sip the night before and return to the fridge to enjoy the next day(s). Drank it all up on Day 2 but could see this developing further on Day 3. Very enjoyable. Good/Excellent. Paired well with goat cheese.

2011 J.M. Boillot Montagny 1er Cru Blanc

This grew on me over three days. Best on the third, expectedly for a young premier cru Burgundy, I suppose. A bit faint with lots of soap upon entry, but smoothed out its rough edges, particularly after 48 hours in cold storage. Good nose, round and rich oak, but not overwhelming, and mellowed out to balance the fruit as the wine went forward. A bit hot leaving the palate, but a very good value Burgundy. 88-89 points.
