Côte de Léchet Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2006

Popped and poured just below my cellar temp (which is currently at 59°F); enjoyed over the course of two days. Consistent throughout. The 2006 pours a reflective, straw color with silvery rim. Medium viscosity with no signs of particles or gas. On the nose, the wine is developing. Notes of lemons, limes, honey, cashews and oyster shell. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium++ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and super chalky. This is absolutely killer Chablis that almost seems evergreen. Drink now through 2031.

Domaine Jean Chartron

Clos des Chevaliers Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay 2017

Pop and pour. I want to follow, but this is disappearing very quickly. On the nose, the word purity comes to mind; all the aromas are so well-delineated and yet simultaneously well-blended. Lime oil, crushed pine nuts, evergreen sap, loads of crushed stone, peach. On the palate: fantastic acidity, absolutely amazing density, wet stone, sappy lime, soft reduction. The intensity is really amazing, and a fantastically long, slightly spicy finish. — 3 years ago

Viñedos del Contino (CVNE)

Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2012

Opened up after a few hour decant, but still needed a marbled steak for balance. Deep dark blackberry pie, tobacco, evergreen needles, and uplifted cranberry. Well balanced with great purity of fruit and persistent length. American oak flavors surround both red and black forest berries. Still very youthful... definitely decant or cellar. — 5 years ago

Fosso di Corsano Colli di Luni Superiore Vermentino 2018

What’s the latest on the debate about Pigato and Vermentino being genetically identical? In this wine, there’s plenty of Pigato on the nose, but the evergreen flavor is uniquely Vermentino to my palate. — 5 years ago

Jaine

Evergreen Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Light straw color with aromas of citrus and tropical fruit adding a touch of floral spice notes. On the palate flavors of pineapple, peach and grapefruit with citrus and honeysuckle notes, generous acidity, great mouthfeel with long finish ending with a salty mineral spice character. Nice wine! — 2 years ago

Les Lys Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2007

2007 Lime, lime pith and lemon peel hold strong despite age. Lemon madeleines, orange oil, tangerine pith, lemongrass, evergreen. Orange peel, lemon oil and lemongrass forefront, while lime neutralizes to background color green olive swims in the lime, chamomile, kefir lime, grape leaf, crystalline salinity. Bright and ripe after 15 years!

I saw that! 2006 was heading downhill, but 2007 was stunning

Chateau Montelena

The Montelena Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1999

Dark tawny color. Mostly opaque. Notes of black cherries, evergreen trees, oak barrel and some spice. Good fruit and structure in the mouth. An herbal thing exists. An OK wine. No need to wait longer for it. — 5 years ago

Evergreen Lek Dry Finger Lakes Riesling 2017

This is the Evergreen Lek single vineyard dry Riesling. Very “Trimbachian” in style. Nose shows subtle crushed slate, a bit of petrol-like minerality, dried and fresh green apple slices. Crisp and bone dry in the mouth, the texture is soft and the finish is long. Medium bodied. Very classical. — 3 years ago

@Daniel Bloom - I hadn’t noticed that, at some point, Delectable cut off some words of the bio. I think it was “sick of wines 15% or more.” If I see 15 or higher on the label, it’s almost always a hard no from me. Dogmatic, maybe. But it is what it is.

Efeste

Lola Evergreen Vineyard Chardonnay 2012

Who would have thought that a WA white would age well. This one is proof. Still a nice bit of acidity to it. Went really well with our chicken dish tonight. Saving some for tomorrow. — 4 years ago
