S.S. Mandani

9.3

10 year old Chablis is getting flinty and smoky. Beeswax, honey, toasted almonds.

Still high acid, but fruit is sort of smoothing out and giving way to more nutty and saline characteristics.

Still mineral driven but edging closer to saline than stoney.

Green orchard fruits are still the backbone in terms of fruit. But way more on the savory side at this point.

Lacking maybe a bit of structural brightness but it is still sleek like a whisper — a day ago

9.2

Very youthful, medium‑plus bodied Hermitage with a clearly fruit‑driven profile.

Nose: black cherry, blueberry and raspberry, light floral note, minimal smoke or oak spice.
Palate: similar dark and red fruits, moderate tannin, fresh acidity, medium‑plus finish, no noticeable volatility or flaws.
Structure suggests it will improve with a few years of cellaring but is already drinkable with a short decant.

A pleasant color, nose, and palate to my surprise as I know little about this wine from an auction win. Drinking wonderful straight out of the gate! — 2 months ago
