Match

Jean-Paul Thevenet

Vieilles Vignes Morgon Gamay 2014

A great friend brought this magnum to thanksgiving in days of yore when we still lived in NYC, and I held off to give it due time…a decade or so later it shined with a youthful vivacity that I wish I could match! — 24 days ago

Vasse Felix

Heytesbury Margaret River Chardonnay 2018

Polar opposite to big Kev, lean lady with some saline words. Not a great match with San Choy Bow but a great match to my advent Chardonnay wine fridge calendar. — 2 years ago

Deep Woods Estate

Reserve Margaret River Chardonnay 2013

A very good modern Chardonnay from the Margaret River. Smoky Leesy Flinty Mealy , struck match aromas. Lean to medium weight palate with mainly citrus and ripe grapefruit flavours. Barb thought nectarine notes as well. Still quite delicate but with great length and persistence. This Chardonnay won the James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge in 2014 from 680 entries and 98 points from James. — 4 years ago

@Severn Goodwin So many producers in Margaret River, Severn, making cracking Chardonnay these days.

Domaine Coche-Dury (J.F. Coche Dury)

Meursault Chardonnay 2012

Amazing bright fruit. Stuck match, vivacious lemon and steel. Great texture and dazzling acidity. Delicious — a year ago

Boundary Breaks Vineyard

Ovid Line North Medium Dry Riesling 2018

Nose has candied pineapple, very ripe nectarine, straw bale, white/yellow flowers and lemon peel.

Palate has tangerine zest, Mandarin orange slice, under-ripe peach, wet river rocks, slightly waxy texture with a short finish.

Decanted 2H.
A quite youthful bottle, revisit 2026+

On point with the Spätlese style connection per Vinous comments.

Paired to Chicken Adobo (Milk Street recipe) and I'm convinced that coconut milk ingredient dishes are a perfect match to Riesling.

Incredible power and intensity. A more difficult food match than I remember from last tasting. Complex and rich. — 4 years ago

Domaine Jamet

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2013

Rises above the cloud layer to match dripping rib-eyes. 🥩 Constant interplay between savory and brambly concentrated fruit. Wow. — 2 years ago

Had this last week as well. Loved it.🍷

Enderle & Moll

Muschelkalk Pinot Noir 2009

What can I say? Needs about 30 min of air odd at first and than absolutely brillant. Raspberry driven, thyme, touch oregano, lime, quite tannic at first which mellows out in the glass over time. Drink now or keep for 1-2 years more. A benchmark wine. A unicorn, A singleton, no one makes wine like Enderle & Moll. A perfect match with Salmon. Needs food. — 4 years ago

Awesome!

Bonneau du Martray

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2015

So...I had a birthday a couple weeks back, due to scheduling my regular bottle finishing team wasn't available until now, so we're finally doing it up in my grand, unique style.

Notes possibly tomorrow, scores honestly tonight.

Decanted 8H.

24-Hour Update:
Nose has moist chalk, dry limestone-based soil, yellow peach, ripe pineapple, crushed flint, struck match, orange zest, warm Anjou pear, crushed oyster shell, cold butter and honeysuckle.
Palate has warmed (ripe) pineapple, under-ripe yellow peach, hazelnut butter, vanilla, orange zest and white peach.
A great bottle, which is quite youthful and should be revisited around 2025-30.
