Taittinger

Comtes de Champagne Grands Crus Blanc de Blancs Champagne Chardonnay 2012

2012 vintage. Last tasted 1.16.26 (9.4). WOW. Currently in that precarious, oh so difficult to nail, sweet space between youth and maturity whilst exhibiting plenty of both. Ridiculously excellent with so much complexity. 4.18.26. — a month ago

Château Clinet

Pomerol Merlot Cabernet Franc 2013

A terrific effort for the vintage, with surprisingly bright and sweet black currant playing very nicely off gritty tannin in a very nice duet. I don't know how long this precarious balance will hold, but it will be a lot of fun while it lasts. — 9 years ago

Very nice Oregon Pinot — 8 years ago

Corliss Estates

Syrah 2009

Structured, but it felt constructed in a way I'm not used to what with all my French drinking. Still, great big fruit and green pepper flavors, enough acidity and body to keep everything in a precarious balance of more is more. — 10 years ago

Domaine Etienne Delarche

Creux De La Net Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Chardonnay 2023

2023 vintage. That mix of profile, "minéralité" and pricing...hits at a decent value. 1er Cru and village Chassagne, Puligny and Meursault has officially jumped the shark. Slightly less fleshy than those above but more love than Chablis...occupying a precarious place in (white) Burgundy as we speak. 04.09.25. — a year ago
