Comtes de Champagne Grand Crus Brut Blanc de Blancs 2006

Keeps going from strength to strength.
One can easily be fooled by this champagne’s light texture but make no mistake about it, this packs a punch! Similar to my previous bottle in 2023 but with more power, .Almost too easy to drink.

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2021

Ming L
9.1

Tasted alongside the Kistler Sonoma Mountain Chardonnay of the same vintage, this wine opens with nose of ripe peach, lemon curd, lightly toasted almond, and a whisper of vanilla—echoing the Kistler’s profile. However, the resemblance stops there. Pineapple and underripe star fruit emerges, lending a refreshing, aromatic lift. On the palate, the tropical theme persists, layered with zesty lime and wet stone minerality. Bright, sharp acidity is balanced by a softly textured mid-palate. Clean precise finish. — 3 months ago

Château de Pibarnon (Comte de Saint Victor)

Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2019

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Fruity nose of red fruits with earth, herbs and chocolate notes.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with raspberries, cherries, peppercorn, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth, light cedar, tobacco leaf and herbs.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Mourvedre from Bandol. Elegant and nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Drinking beautifully now, although still young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Complex and delicious right now. Good by itself or with food.

A blend of 90% Mourvedre and 10% Grenache. Aged for 22 months in large French oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

$75.

Beaulieu Vineyard

Private Reserve Georges de Latour Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1981

This was a well-stored example and the cork was in pretty great shape; extracted with the aid of a Durand. Opened about an hour before service and poured into a decanter. Enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 1981 pours a garnet color with a slight orange-ish rim; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and some sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with mostly desiccated notes of dark and red fruit: red currants, confected cherry, organic earth, mushroom, leather, eucalyptus, baking spice. Umami AF. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. While showing its age, this is very much alive. The entire bottle was enjoyed by all. Drink now. — 4 days ago
