  April 13, 2024 - Absolutely wonderful. Mineral, ocean breeze, freshly shucked oysters. Yellow plum fruit. Dry and taught finish. Maturing but still fresh. Long. Saliva inducing. (94)

  March 8, 2024 - Agree with mjreb on this. I get the grit and oi and the orange peel but I don’t get harmony or grace. I think this ship has sailed.

  January 26, 2024 - January 2024 Northern Rhone Dinner: This was a bit of a confusing wine. It seemed a little shut down upon opening, with nothing but a ponderous yellow-fruit profile on the palate. It opened up a little with time and got better, but lacked any hint of salinity and did not feel particularly Chablis-like.

  January 15, 2024 - Heidi's Gang: Wind Chill & Frostbite (Maison Margaux, Mpls): Light gold color. Drank a glass over an hour plus. Wow, I love this, apparently more than everyone else. Maybe because this ended up being poured after the trio pf PCYM gems, but I found myself mesmerized by the mineral density on the nose and palate. The nose is filled with fresh mountain air, aromatic oyster shells and parafin followed by lemon and tangerine oil and that brilliant minerality. The palate is so stony, dry extract galore, bitter melon rind (in a good way), lemon, honeycomb, dried white roses, parafin, lemon pith, tart tangerine and a long finish. I'm not fond of pushing these, but I loved the condition and evolution at this stage.

  January 15, 2024 - Heidis Group in the Minneapolis "Warehouse District" on a bone chilling night. Same btl as R&Rler. Completely mature & still healthy med-gold color w/ both the nose & palate in nice shape. Fresh seashore & citrus aromas. Serene resolution along w/ finessed; minerality, lemon-lime, orange peel, butter scotch and stone fruit for a lovely autumnal coziness. A very pleasing over-achieving '06 but rarely hitting the greatness of the best vintages. Delighted we caught this in a lovely place given Dauvissat's penchant for pre-mox. Thanks Kevin!
