2019 Bodega Catena Zapata Chardonnay White Bones Adrianna Vineyard Gualtallary
5/11/2024 - Sun_Ship Likes this wine: 95 Points
Superbly aromatic nose of honeyed pears, light blossom and lavender, with hints of cucumber, sage, dill and white pepper, riding on a steely base of flint and oyster shell. Herbal, complex and shifting. The mouthfeel is weightless, with a fine almost mousse-like density, persistence, length and grace. The finish seems to reverberate forever on notes of crushed salt and herbal.

2018 Domaine des Lambrays Morey St. Denis
5/6/2024 - Sun_Ship Likes this wine: 93 Points
Vivid dark ruby in the glass. This pops with an intensely perfumed nose of wilted rose petals, fresh cherry scents and plump raspberry. Floral, fresh and pure. Light pepper and undergrowth notes emerge with time. The palate is concentrated and incredibly smooth, with plenty of mouth-filling volume and touches of darker-tinged fruit. Hints of spice emerge on the extended finish. This is still young, but drinking superbly. With wild mallard and grilled leeks with chilli yoghurt sauce. 93+

2018 Domaine Bachelet-Monnot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières
5/5/2024 - Sun_Ship Likes this wine: 93 Points
A floral nose of creamy jasmine and fresh cut white flowers, supported by buttered apple, lemon curd and some light fruit cocktail notes. Needs a bit of time in the glass. Lovely weight in the mouth; on the richer side, but with floral finesse, a touch of salinity and just enough acidity. The finish fans out on creamy, slightly spicy notes. This is still fairly tightly wound and will only get better. With mussels in white wine sauce and buttered toast. 93+
