Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2010

Bracing, racy goodness. Assertive yet delicate. Delicious with cured meats and aged cheeses, and calamari fra diavolo. — 8 years ago
Albert Morot
Beaune Teurons 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1996
Impressively fresh for 20 years old. Only slightly oxidative and acetic nose. Fruit edging toward dried character, but bright cherry notes still remain, and acid remains strong. Tannic structure intact. Spicy and delightful with our chicken roulade and spot prawns at Coi, although the somm mis-diagnosed this as a Volnay 1er Cru. — 9 years ago
Laherte Frères
Millésimé Extra Brut Champagne 2005
Guava, bruised apple, hazelnut; mineral, high acid; angular but rich; beautiful. — 9 years ago
Daniel-Etienne Defaix
Domaine du Vieux Chateau Vaillon Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2002
Quite golden; ripe yellow apple and melon notes dominate initially; slightly oxidative; with air, develops to white mushroom, marzipan and lemon peel; ample acidity, voluptuous mouthfeel; great with food. — 8 years ago
Domaine Dauvissat-Camus
La Forest Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2011
Excellent as expected. Savory notes from the lees very present but elegantly interwoven with the bright fruit. Complemented several fish courses very nicely at Coi, especially the smoky Tasman trout with yuzu balls. Very well made. Has a lot of life in it yet to age. — 9 years ago
Guy de Forez
Les Riceys Brut Champagne

Mark Trousdale
Served too cold, but really opened up once it was up to temperature. Leather, lactones, black cherry, plum. Very structured. Tons of acid. Very tasty. — 8 years ago
