Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1989

Quite light spices , coffee , sous bois , herbal hints . On the palate this has good density and spicy , menthol , dark coffee stained fruit , some slightly gritty tannin . It comes across as quite ripe but with balanced acidity and quite good menthol tinged length . This was served blind from a half bottle . I was putting this in the 80s and Napa , not Bordeaux! This had to do with the texture and quite ripe , generous fruit profile . Drinking perfectly now , I wouldn’t wait any longer — 9 days ago

Les Noirots Chambolle - Musigny Premier Cru Pinot Noir 2023

Huge expressive nose of milk duds, watermelon jolly rancher, sour cherries, dark cherries, lemon flower? Earth and mineral and stunning aromatic lift but is holding something back. Wow that’s kinky with unreal concentration and tiny berry fruit intensity. More complex. Darker red cherries, strawberry jam. It’s the texture, it’s the tannins, it’s the perfectly judged acidity. Woodshop aromas. The sweetness is so insane. It’s so elegant. The tannins are late breaking and fierce but sweet and pearly. — 14 days ago

Abbaye de Morgeot Chassagne Montrachet Premier Cru Chardonnay 2023

Oh my god that nose. Melon, beeswax, floral, spice, going in and out of closed. Finding its focus. A fierce rocky minerality as well. But needs more air. Palate is just absurd. Unreal density but also plumpness. Super textured and like an icing on the cake and the most insane restrained richness and grip. Concentrated and so so deep. Unreal balance, purity and finish. Nose is heaven. Just so ethereal and not a hair out of place. Crazy inner mouth aromas. Perfect fruit capture. Unreal freshness and acidity and it leaves your mouth in a state of vinous arousal. Juicy and nimble. So engaging and the juiciness is just stunning and the standout characteristic for this wine. I swish so hard and there is no hair out of place. Palate is insane 24 hours later. Mineral blast, sick purity, iodine and saline. Sweet minerals. — 23 days ago

Carte Blanche Bouzy Premier Cru Brut Champagne Blend

On the nose, chiseled, saline notes that provide backbone and vibrancy. Pears, white flowers and slate flow through to the chiseled finish. — a month ago
