Charity Wine Pairings for Hospice House Auction winners; 4/6/2024-4/7/2024 (Bellingham): Our wine of the night, paired with ostetra caviar. I've been delaying trying the 2008, as I've found the vintage in general to be fantastic but late maturing. No regrets, this is in the zone, early in its drinking window. Opens with some flinty matchstick which I love, followed by a perfectly balance throng of flavors and textures. It has that Comtes creamy texture, but remains edgy; pure class. Lemon cream, white orchard fruit, lightly fragrant floral notes, honey, chalk, brioche. It lives up to the hype.

Friday Night Lights (Jim and Michelene's Place, St. Paul, MN): Shimmering gold color. Drank a couple glasses over 90 minutes. Oh, my, word....I am not going to regret loading up on these. I'd been holding off, and holding off on opening one of these for some time. But many if not most of the '08's are drinking well now and this was loudly calling my name. I wasn't taking any notes at the time, but there are a few thoughts that come to mind: wow, riveting, compelling, the real deal. This had an immense nose with an explosive bead. Tons of gorgeous toast, creme caramel, brioche, almond cream, nuthorns, splendid ultra refined sea spray and minerality, subtle floral notes and marzipan, bright, refreshing, long and wistful. Glorious, and eveything I'd hoped for. Now the clock starts to see if this can surpass the brilliant 2002 in time. 98(+)pts.

Hadn't had this in a while and it is opening up. Clean, precise and sparkling. For those who like their champagne with the chardonnay front and center. This is a very pretty wine.

Tight, needed 1 hour of air before opening up. But super young and at this point in time I prefer the 06. Not sure that is true 10 years from now.
