  • 2017 Domaine Vincey Champagne Grand Cru Oger 94 Points

    France, Champagne, Champagne Grand Cru

    Tasted blind. Apple, breadth, bit of bitterness. 1g of dosage. 60+ year old vines. Green apple. The same edge of bitterness that I got with the bottle of 2019 last month. Looking really nice, great acid and drive. 94

  • 2017 Giaconda Chardonnay Estate Vineyard 90 Points

    Australia, Victoria, North East, Beechworth

    Tasted blind. Fresh, fennel nose, flinty. Bit of sweetness. Sweet apple and maybe pear. Too sweet for me. Very sweet lemon. Another Giaconda chard that I just don't get. 90

  • 2017 Kumeu River Chardonnay Maté's Vineyard 95 Points

    New Zealand, North Island, Auckland, Kumeu

    Tasted blind. Lots of grapefruit on the nose. Smells oily. Powerful, better acid and drive than the 17 Giaconda next to it. Really smart wine, great structure. More lemon coming through. Really like this. This was my first bottle of Kumeu River and I'm a fan! 95.

  • 2017 Penfolds Chardonnay Yattarna Bin 144 94 Points

    Australia, South Australia

    Tasted blind. Spicy oak on the nose. Good body. Electric lemon. Not the back palate of good white burg but does have drive. 94.

    Tasted blind. Pear nose, reductive. Some grapefruit. Really good. Succulent. More fruit power. Linear. Lovely. This bottle again showed that Penfolds makes better whites than reds. 95+

  • 1977 Dow Porto Vintage 95 Points

    Tasted blind. Stewed strawberries and some menthol. Some at the table thought that the spirit is slightly sticking out but I thought it was in good balanced with the fruit. 95.
