2021 vintage. Made by some guy by the name of Luc Morlet. Bigg, dark, dense fruit with substantial mid-palate and appropriate tannins on the finish. Fairly smooth ride without speed bumps throughout. 04.27.25. — 12 hours ago

2005 vintage. Decanted and tasted after two hours. Nose at the beginning was the usual D'Issan tight as nails. Maan, this wine always needs to be left alone to come out of the shell. Some milk chocolate and cocoa powder alongside the dense, dark fruits and earth that was appointed to the front lines at the onset. Showing pretty nicely currently with that mandatory airtime. 04.25.25. — 2 days ago

2021 vintage. Medium/medium-heavy body. Splash of melted, salted butter. A visit from the Minerals Central CEO. Warm bath chardonnay without involved concerns getting flabby or wrinkly tho. Wraps you up with multiple, Turkish cotton, towels and validates your spa day/night viz. Pampered. 04.23.25. — 5 days ago

9.4

2019 vintage. Tasted after 2 hours open. Medium body. Big lanolin and prominent acidity with some pineapple and guava notes open for business. Lemon curd rolling through like it owns the place (perhaps it do). Easy 7-8 years Smokey Robinson cruising together based on remaining acidity. Approx .5-1 year away from the top of the bell curve. 04.26.25. — a day ago

2023 vintage. Just released and on a growth spurt. Needs a month or two to add some new clothes to the wardrobe. Medium-heavy body. Will attempt to taste again in a month or two. Preferably two. Ceiling is likely a 9.3. 04.23.25. — 5 days ago

9.4

2021 vintage. Medium body. Bracing, back-end acidity with super clean entry and slightly sweet mid-palate. What fresh hell is this?! Intriguing and distinctively different for sure. 04.23.25. — 5 days ago

9.3

2009 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 2 hours. Medium body. Concentrated, initial richness in the frontal palate. Mid-palate riding that richness into the ground and coffee grounds, earth and baking chocolate-laced tannins bringing this into the end-palate rodeo. 04.26.25. — a day ago

9.2

2021 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 5 minutes. Lighter color. Light-medium body. Intriguing nose. Plenty of spice on the back end and under the mid-palate tongue. Plenty of hints (camphor, raspberry, milk chocolate, clove, damp earth) but no solid commitments right off the bat. Felt like it would "gain a little weight" bodywise and it supposedly did after 25-30 minutes. 04.25.25. — 2 days ago

9.1

2014 vintage. Tasted via Coravin. Heavy body still. Plummy nose. Some swirling flavors about but a little out of sorts currently. That pinot noir for cabernet drinkers. 04.23.25. — 5 days ago
