Ramonet Montrachet Lunch (Phoenix, AZ USA): Crisp mouthfeel, some tropical fruit. There's more oak here than I'd prefer; it's not overwhelming, but this will be better with some more time to integrate it.

Outstanding. Montrachet class and power without any heaviness or over ripeness. Serious and complex. Plenty of acidity keeps this fresh and precise. Drinking really well right now.

From Magnum this was so good. Aromas of intense white peach, spearmint cream, vanilla pod and flint. It is rich and layered, incredibly powerful and rich but not heavy in the slightest. The finish drives on and on and oozes minerality.

SLDS at Quay: Chalk, vanilla, ozone, sea spray and orange on the nose. Electric palate, bursting with vibrant energy, Fruit power keeps up with the soaring acidity. Mind blowing depth of fruit. Continues to grow and grow in the glass. Ridiculous good.

Very pretty wine. Round flavors in the mouth while retaining grace and freshness. Lots of peach, pear and a hint of butter. Less rich, if perhaps more fresh, than the 2010 served alongside it. Very ready for current drinking yet should go 5-10 more years.

Has a gorgeous, sweet peach heart. There’s some mango and rockmelon too. It is spicy and complex, a powerful wine that also possesses great poise and balance. Tinned peach flavours abound on the finish and there’s the tang of citrus and saline mineral right on the end.

Montrachet and Musigny: Slate, mint, orange peel, brine and sea spray right after pouring, with air showing more lime, smoky flint and white floral notes - stunning amount of aromatic complexity in this young wine. The balance between intensity and precision on the palate is incredible, with the powerful fruit controlled and focused by stunning acid presence. Next to the 2 other 2013 Montrachet bottles from other producers tonight, this even feels restrained in style, which is unbelievable given its weight and depth. A monumental wine.

Favre-a-thon 6.0 Saturday Whites: Served next to the sublime 2010 Lafon Montrachet, this had tough positioning. But it was also stunning, and easily the top 2013 white I've tasted (and I like the 13's a lot). I'm thrilled to own some of this, and would not hesitate to open one young.

Very tight, fine and intense. It has the Ramonet spearmint thing going on and very pure, white peach fruit. There's a suggestion of spice and it is fresh with outstanding line. Should be superb in a decade.

The 2013 Ramonet Montrachet is a beauty, and across the board I wonder if Ramonet's '13s may surpass their '12s. White flowers, yellow citrus, Anjou pear and noble reduction meld in a complex bouquet, followed by a sappy, pure and simultaneously weightless and dense palate impression.

Some Wine Tasted at the Zachys La Paulée Auction; 3/10/2022-3/11/2022 (Le Bernardin Prive - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. So similar to last night's magnum, possibly just slightly less unctuous. A baby.

From magnum -- perfect in just about every way. Astonishingly intense and layered aromas. Decadent yet refined, chiseled palate. Wow.

Some Wine Tasted at the Zachys La Paulée Auction; 3/10/2022-3/11/2022 (Le Bernardin Prive - New York NY): From magnum. Brilliant combination of sweet and tart fruit, sweet and savory spice with unctuous textures and a long, zen finish. A powerhouse in its early stages of beauty.

A classy wine. This bottle seemed a touch more reticent than one had earlier this year, but still a great drink. Lovely floral and citrus.

A lovely wine, that shows the 2013 vintage very well. Held it's own against an otherworldly 2010.

Wine with a Few Smaller Meals While in Burgundy; 6/21/2016-7/1/2016 (Cote d'Or (Mostly)): Early spring flowers with mint and licorice supporting ripe and forward orchard fruit aromas and flavors. Not a powerhouse, but this is a wine with great length and seemingly perfect balance and persistence.
