Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2017

Brilliant light ruby color. Upon opening very shy nose, pronounced acidity, sandy/powdery tannins and bright red currant/red cherry/granberry taste. After 2h the wine starts to open and the nose picks up the Nebbiolo typical wonderfull mix of flowers complemented by cherry, cool tones bit like menthol and red currant. Palate remains tight but full of promise. As good as this is, it still falls behind thw excellwnt 2016 torre in sheer depth and fruit intensity. I take this will reach prime drinking in 2-3 years so nice cellar defender when waiting the 2016 — 5 years ago

La Cerbaiola di Salvioni Giulio

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2013

Then 2013 Salvioni La Cerbaiola is drop dead Gorgeous in all aspects, including the deep, dark and dense ruby-red, garnet appearance, the fruit-laden, perfumed aromatics and flavors, as well as the well balanced structure of ample fruit, medium acidity, and gentle tannins at the long satisfying finish.

Overall, it’s medium/full, particularly elegant and vibrant, from a cooler than normal vintage that many described as a “return to classicism.” I’m unfamiliar with older vintages (prior to global warming) but this is MY style of Brunello. Refined, Classy and a Joy to swirl, sniff and savor.

Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2016

First time having the pleasure. Ok, I get it. Unctuous and thicc. Searching every corner of my palate for one more ethereal drop of elixir. Grilled peach and apricot drizzled with vanilla extract. Is that sugar I’m chewing on?
The money though?

If you can find it, try Château de Fargues for Sauternes.

Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2013

in line with the other reviews. An exceptional wine maker, doing everything from planting to pruning to winemaking. Very small production. Opened the bottle about an hour before consuming every last drop. Quite delicious. An exceptional example of Oregon Pinot Noir.  — 2 years ago

Domaine Chavy-Chouet

Les Casses-Têtes Meursault Chardonnay 2016

9.4

Wow this is singing! What a nose. Gorgeous lemon inflected minerality. Hints of attractive spicey oak and stunning rocky minerality. Tree bark and herbs. So good. What a screaming mimi of a nose. Palate is rich and ripe but also nervy and tense. Amazing purity buttressed by that awesome Meursault richness. Lovely texture. Awesome mouthfeel and a lovely lemon drop lime zest finish. Wonderful. — 5 years ago
