Eastside Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2016

I like these a lot but no more holding. Lacking a bit of punch. I’m late on these. — 19 days ago

Yep, that’s my observation, Aubert and in general Napa chards beyond 7-8 years of age are flakey.

Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir 2014

Garnet with orange edge. Powerful concentrated aroma. 1.5 hours, getting stabilized. But deep. Complexity. Forest floor. Spices. Aged. Dry. Good experience to feel same vintage between 10 years and 4 years. Hudellot - Noellat Chambolle Musigny 14 @590/G(3900 for 2018), Fred, 241102 — a month ago

Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay 2014

A beautiful, refined, bright, creamy wine. Tasting honeydew, white peach, butter, cashew, oak, and a hint of honey. Just what I would expect from Aubert (my favorite Chardonnays). — 2 months ago

Alain Graillot

Les Chenes Vert Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2020

Dark, inky Hermitage Syrah….has that extreme earthiness I don’t love in these northern Rhônes - you get it right on the nose, and then has a slightly acidic/sour after taste - opens up a bit after a few hours — 12 days ago

Nice, but I detect this this is on it’s downward swing. Roasted pineapple combines with lychees. soft acidity and baking spices complete a nice presentation. probably better 2 years prior. — 2 months ago

@John Van Trijp, yes, I was a little surprised, too. Having said that, I’ve had very few underperforming bottles from Aubert.

@LM Segal, in general, U.S. whites or reds rarely posses the longevity of their Burgundy counterparts. I have a number of old Cali whites which I will road-test for S and G’s.
