March 2, 2024 - Some nice Burgundies (Chicago, IL): Sadly corked. This was clearly an impressive wine though, with iodine and lemon oil notes that I really enjoyed.

A bit too buttery and creamy. Good acidity structure. I would not wait longer. 94 -

August 17, 2023 - PNP. Light yellow color. Beautiful nose, very on point showing lemon, iodine, oyster shell and honey. Very lively palate, deep lemon infused flavors with a lovely saline infused texture and a long citrus rind finish. Just a perfect accompaniment to a dozen New Brunswick oysters.

August 13, 2023 - Chablis grand cru Valmur domaine Raveneau 2008
Nose of lemon and orange.
On the palate, it is still very primitive for a 15-year-old wine. The wine has it all: tension, freshness, fruit, salinity, balance and structure. But Raveneau struggles to kindle an emotion in me. The whole is serious, it is floral and on the white fruits, big acidity which coats everything and contributes to this feeling of rigor. Intense finish on wet stone with good length.
It’s objectively excellent but not my style.
