February 16, 2024 - Jon's 50th Birthday Dinner: Opened for two hours. Good balance and nice weight.

August 5, 2023 - 1996 Rhone and Burgundy (Bronte): youthfully pale straw colour
classic fragrance of lemon curd and a hint of cottage cheese, with citrus zest
perfectly structured, elegant attack with well defined citrus and mineral zest, long middle and a finish that opens up with a hint of aged complexity but still remaining very youthful and fruit driven.
a spectacular 27yr old Chablis. -

May 21, 2023 - Three 96 Rav Grand Crus mano a mano. All of these bottles looked solid with yellow centers and clear rims.
The Valmus seemed the most closed and the nose took quite a while to develop. It showed green apple, pear, minerals, and citrus.
This should be quite good but still needs time in the cellar. Start drinking this in 5 years and it should last 20 years or so (if your bottle is not poxed). This wine should gain a point or two with time. -

November 29, 2020 - WOTN vs some DRC and other gems. This was absolutely firing on all cylinders. Light to medium color. The nose was everything you want - sea shells, lemon curd, baking spices, iodine, minerals and yellow flowers. The palate was equally as generous with a rich, supple, nuanced yet powerful explosion of flavors. Drank over an hour and saved a glass til the end of dinner 2 hours later and it was even more nunaced with some air and warmer temp. A great effort.
