Was weird at first but then I realized I had just ate a piece of cheddar that blew out my taste buds — 21 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2019 pours a garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of fresh raspberry, Bing cherry, freshly cut roses, some tar, dried green herbs, old wood, some talcum powder and dry gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and slightly savory. The nose is so awesome. The roses are insane! Drink now through 2019. Thanks for the assist @Lyle Fass! — 4 days ago

Magnificent. Among the best 1er cru Chablis I’ve ever had.

Nose white flowers. Seashells. Massive.

Palate: bright as the sun. Magnificent acidity. Sour Green apple.

Dampt in 21 was ridiculous. A fucking piece of history.

My first of the 2023’s. Really spectacular. Pours a medium yellow with some viscosity. On the nose such purity. Lemon pith, white flowers, mixed citrus, high toned and pure, the palate is silky like crème brûlée but with a lightness; beautiful oak framing. I think I’m a Brissett junky. The winemaking highlights everything I love about Chardonnay. @Lyle Fass — 8 months ago

A purity.

Pristine.

Spice.

The most elegant nose.

Almost a haiku of a wine.

Needs an hour. Or a century. I don’t know.

Immortal.

Audrey Hepburn. The Mona Lisa. The Goldberg Variations. Pieta.

Not your dad’s Cabernet. Lighter colored cab. Pretty nose with present pyrazines v. can franc. But not harsh at all. What a revelation. Super drinkable. I need more. 2022 — 8 months ago

This wine shows bright, crunchy freshness with notes of alpine cough drops, fresh green herbs, and a touch of petrol. The palate is taut and mineral-driven, layered with lime zest and green apple, grapefruits. A saline, slatey undercurrent adds depth and tension, leading to a clean, mouthwatering finish. A precise and expressive Mosel Riesling with real energy and character. — 9 months ago

Palate: sweet cherry. So elegant. Lovely. Elite balance. Hint of elegant spice.

Seriously. If you like nebbiolo you are nuts not to buy a case of this at this price.

Palate is darker tart cherries. So fresh. Long finish. Delicious.
