9.2

A less wild, thicker, charismatic version of Liaison. More filled out. Still with that E&M corduroy murk, more glow for par.

Candy coat with cherry, raspberry, and acetone.

9.1

Biscuit, crisp yellow apple, chamomile, squirt of lemon.

It's traditional, but with little nuanced notes and a rich enveloping, mouth coating sweet salty profile that make it very reliably enjoyable. — 17 days ago

8.8

Alpine sting, hot with layers of insulation. Layers of saturated cherry cola syrup, pine, cedar, minty menthol, black prune, and roses floating in the background.

Plushy and supple. Sweet and alcoholic and medicinal, a little too hot for summer, a ripe drink riper for a cool night. — 2 months ago

8.5

Stripped, barren, salty as the ocean. Refreshing, but minimalistic.

Seaweed and damp clam shells and bitter lemon juice concentrate, faint white flowers. — 9 days ago

9.3

Balanced, elegant nose, but the main event is the gravity blanket texture and deep concentrated flavor that goes and goes and doesn't feel showy. It's a powerful dichotomy with momentum up and to the right.

Sweet tobacco, cocoa, graphite, cherry, black pepper, and lavender. — a month ago

More fruit than I like (just personally), it has some mossy yeasty compartments where the fun stuff hides.

Christmas crimson, cranberry, strawberry melon, minty Douglas fir and brioche.

Has some umph. Concentrated bitter sweet back and forth that's all play. — 2 months ago

9.1

Honey nectar where time has carved out concrete smoothed smokey cool aromas of grilled pineapple and canned apricot.

Sweet and weighs like a brick, thick with nuance to sift through. Yellow peach, burnt popcorn, green coriander, lychee last to say goodnight — 11 days ago

2023 Le Mont Sec is so full of golden Chenin character despite its pearly glint.

Close your eyes and its thick pierced red apple skin, browning cores and buckwheat honey with a strong floral character.

My favorite dynamic of sweet suggestions, dry deliverable. — 23 days ago

8.7

Boxy spectrum of blacks, purples, blues, reds, and greens. Woodsy, vegetal, an imperfect combination of both dark dried and bright red fruit.

Notes of mint, tobacco, violet, prune, tart cherry, and cedar. — a month ago

8.9

Goes like this. Copper penny, metallic, woolly wet blanket. Brightens with vanilla and coconut oak creme brulee. Lands on beautiful bruised apples and bartlett pear, lingering lemon oil.


Oxidized and youthful, and overall nice, not excellent. — 2 months ago
