8/1/2022 - tychill wrote: 91 pointsOpened this with zero expectations considering the age. Was blown away by the longevity. Color was that of a 3 year old white wine with no browning or aged coloration of any kind. Nose and palate both fresh as a daisy. Interesting light golden apple and citrus notes with just a hint of caramel in the background. A balanced, well aged bottle of arneis. |

4/16/2018 - tychill wrote: 92 pointsInitially quite dark, smoky and meaty on the nose. Funky notes blew off over time and this was all silky black cherry. Great bottle of wine. I would imagine this will drink well for a very long time to come. |

3/2/2018 - tychill wrote: 90 pointsPretty restrained on the nose and palate but totally seamless and clearly beautifully made. Very pleasant to drink. Have I drank too soon? Or not soon enough? Either way this is still great juice. Will sit on the rest for a couple years. |

2013 A. et P. de Villaine Aligoté Bouzeronmore |
3/2/2018 - tychill wrote: 89 pointsThis is in a very good place right now. Lime leaf and orange blossoms. Great pairing for a simple stir fry. Acidity is crackling. I’m sure this will go several more years but alas... my last bottle. |

12/12/2017 - tychill wrote: 88 pointsWhen I first opened this, I was worried it was over the hill but actually just needed some time-- 45 min or so to do its thing. Dark and earthy flavors with quite a bit of development. Wouldnt wait much longer on these. |

8/24/2017 - tychill wrote: 94 pointsWow this was pretty special. So youthful in color for its age, still bright pink with just a touch of coppering. Fruit has evolved into some really nice round dark apricot and peach flavors. Some great secondary notes as well from the evolution and a touch of oxidation as well. Glad I have another bottle to try in a year. |

3/7/2017 - tychill wrote: 88 pointsAlthough acid was pretty good, i was expecting a little more nuance to this. Cant complain too much for how well it went down with grilled snapper with lemon and capers. Might just need a couple more years to open up a bit. |

1/13/2016 - tychill wrote: 89 pointsSo many California Chardonnays are proudly touted as "Burgundian" while very few come close to that description in terms of style. This Heitz bottle however comes across quite genuinely Burgundian to me! With just a touch of Cali charm in there as well. |
