  • 00777/3101. Huge and incredibly youthful, so hard to tell the vintage of this wine if I were left to guess. High acidity, tropical fruit, chiseled, pointy, pear, yoghurt, coconut, nutty, so fresh this will probably be immortal (again, like my comment on the 14’). This is a good example of a good amount of age on this wine but it still leaves one to desire the fullness of its immense potential. Contrary to a bottle my friend tasted earlier this year (thanks for the non-invitation haha), I find the less-than-expected amount of botrytis to be not only non-disturbing but also welcomed, adding a layer of freshness in the background and constantly refreshing the wine. Popcorn heaven, mighty guard of crush stone, and balance perfection. 99-100

    P.S. My white wine of the year in 2023, and this was a Monty-plenty year haha.

  • Special bottle courtesy of LD and served blind. Extremely weighty, but with an odd botrytis character and rather confusing acidity. Guessed Meursault Perrieres. Extremely special.

  • Domaine Romanee Conti Lunch (Phoenix, AZ USA): The best DRC Montrachet I have had the pleasure to drink in many years. A pristine example with such freshness for a 26 year old white Burgundy. Enormous wine, unparalleled density, chewy mouthfeel, so serious and long. I nursed the glass for a couple of hours and it didn't go downhill even a tiny bit.

    One of the all time greats, and to have it alongside the '90 Ramonet Batard was mind-blowing. The youngsters didn't stand a chance! If only premox weren't a concern, I would love to have a cellar of wine aging into something as magical as these wines.

  • Light gold. Clean and pure. Some buttered popcorn and lots of florals. I like the restrained, balanced nature of this vintage vs. the over-the-top richness this wine sometimes has. A small amount left in the bottle was still going strong nearly 2 days after opening suggesting nearly limitless aging potential.

  • A great vintage for this wine. Good richness here, but not a perfect bottle as it was just barely beginning to show its age before displaying full complexity.
