Same bottle as Chablis28. Drank 1 glass over 20 minutes. I thought this was solid tonight; I didn't really notice any oxidative character. I thought it was pretty fresh with maybe a bit of chalkiness on the finish.

Small pour. This was an interesting wine, with mint, fresh cut herbs, citrus and a bit of smoke. The texture and palate was almost a bit buttery. Enjoyable and certainly not Champagne-like, but a fun alternative if at the right price. 88+pts.

Drank a small pour over 15 minutes. This was the best example I've had of this in recent memory. More often I find this heavy handed and just to overtly sharp and chalky. This bottle, seemed lighter, with a clean mineral core and more green fruits to balance and support the mineral spine.

This wasn't right, no fruit, lots of alcohol, sharp and disjointed. May simply be OTH.

Tropical, floral, nose which stands out over the somewhat angular palate, the palate being leaner, tropical fruit, decent length. Good.

Small taste. Lemon, clean, very nice minerality.

Pale gold color. Thrilled to get a pour of this. Really great. Wonderful complex nose, fresh, slightly tropical fruits, lemon, citrus, dried herbs. The palate is riveting, lively and so bright, restrained tropical fruits and tangerine, apricot, wet stone minerality, very crisp and very long. Wow. Thanks Jason and Tracy. 94+ to 95pts.

Medium dark gold color. Drank 1 glass over an hour. I probably pushed this bottle a bit too far past its prime looking for the right opportunity at a NR tasting. Oh, well. Still good, but also not a wine everyone is going to like under the best of circumstances. This shows age more in the fruit profile being considerably more subdued. The oily, waxy, lacquer like quality and the hazelnut is now dominant. It has that old Lopez character that can sometimes be too dominant. Drink these soon.

Drank a small glass over 30 minutes. This wine didn't get any love at our table. I think I was alone in enjoying it. I can live with that. Yes, there is oak here. No, I didn't think it was excessive, especially given its age. I found very nice tangerine, meyer lemon on the nose with a freshness that could compete with the oak and spice. The palate was rich and round, with enough acid there to keep it crisp, and there's plenty of depth. Oak, yes, but clean and still complimentary.

Very dark red/purple color. Drank 1 glass over 30 minutes. Same bottle as Chablis28. I agree with Chablis28 on his take. This felt youthful and a bit off kilter. Certainly it has potential and the given more cellar time, I think this will turn out to be very good. As it stands now, good, but a bit disjointed. I don't think it will ever rock your world but it should come into a better balance over a couple years. Though I would not expect this to be a long term ager.

Very dark red/purple color. Drank a small pour over 15 minutes. I didn't write down any detailed notes on this. But it was Dave's bottle from the other table and it was one of the highlights. Showing good balance, a nice savory element, with roasted meats, dark red fruits and nice tannins. 91+ to 92pts.

Very dark red/purple color. Splash double decanted. Drank 1 glass over an hour. This also suffered from getting too warm in the restaurant, but at its peak, it had a nice freshness with very dark red berry fruits, blackberry liqueur, black cherry and plenty of savory, earthy and roasted character followed by anise and spice on the finish. It got more "cloudy" as it became warmer. The vintage character is there, and when cool it maintains correctness.

Very dark red/ purple color with subtle bricking over 5 mm. Drank 1 glass over an hour. This was a highlight wine and probably my red WOTN. It showed the classic forest floor and savory nose with dark red fruits mixed with spicy floral elements. The palate is medium full bodied, very refined and elegant with depth and balance and a well integrated structure, funky, cedar box cigar on top of such pure cass and dark berry fruits. Long and pleasurable, this is still a force.

Very dark red/purple color. Drank a small pour over 30 minutes. Very good, almost liqueur like, blackberry liqueur, black plum, thick and almost unctuous, charcoal, pepper, full bodied.

Light gold color. Drank 1 glass over 20 minutes. Well, it is evident that this is destined for greatness. While it is youthful and exuberant, it has all the elements that young, exciting Sauternes should have. Great fruit, exotic, but not overly tropical, tangerine, peach, honey, spice, and plenty of crisp acid. I'll take this to the bank. 93(+) with room to grow.

Very dark purple/red color with modest bricking PNP, Drank 1 glass over 30 minutes. Nicely earthy, funk. brooding dark fruits, black cherry, firm, somewhat grippy tannins.

This had that great savory character I want in my syrah, but the alcohol was showing just too much. I suspect a vintage issue as the fruit just couldn't hold up.

This was good, some heat, but with lovely very dark fruits and a long, resonant finish.

Small pour. Glad to try, but quite disappointed. Wow, totally green and herbal in a hot vintage. Certainly not what I look for. Would have absolutely though this was Carmenere blind.

This suffered from a lack of balance, red fruits, heat, meaty, oak, but just too disjointed.

Small pour. Spicy, oak, full bodied, dark fruits, firm tannins.
