When you drink a lot of chardonnay this is great to taste sometimes. Nice bouquet, firm body and pretty finish. Glad I bought 12 bottles

It suits the Fleur de passion with a little age.
I have a weakness for champagne vintage 2008.
IMO it shines like 1996 did for many years ago. Lovely champagne

For me this is great value of Syrah. Young, fruity and hint of vanilla oak.

Bought 12 bottle of this beauty. Tried one stunning Cabernet. Then sold 6 bottles to a friend. Then confirm the high level of this wine with two bottles more. Sold the last 3 because my other friend also have to try this one. Then order 6 more and their Uproar 2018. Great adventure

Pure young of heart but the display of this Brunello was better than expected. Beautiful noise, good length and solid. Had to choose between 2017 & 2018 and I choose the last. Right pick?

No decant. Lovely young PC. Classic bdx with Iron, leather and tobacco. Hint of oak and good length. Much better now than the 2010 vintage IMO for now

This is textbook mature Vougeot. Balance, grip and that smell. What's not to like? I'm sure if this was the 2010 vintage it was the ironfist in a velvet glove

Secound bottle in 5 months. Great cabernet. This is not a full throttle Napa. It has some oldworld in the style. Perfect with a rib-eye

This Cristal vinothéque was outstanding. A dream come true for me.
Look at the beautiful color I uploaded. Bright yellow color, apple and citrus on the bouquet. BLIC moment (Balance, Length, Intencity, Complexity)
I really hope to try this again

When I saw this on the list in the restaurant I had to order it. I have only tried the plot Luchets once before and it was Roulot. Good Meursault and perfect with halibut sashimi. Served in Spiegelau definition burgundy glass
