Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2016

9.5

First time having the pleasure. Ok, I get it. Unctuous and thicc. Searching every corner of my palate for one more ethereal drop of elixir. Grilled peach and apricot drizzled with vanilla extract. Is that sugar I’m chewing on?
The money though? — 2 months ago

If you can find it, try Château de Fargues for Sauternes.

That guess is actually more impressive given how Beaucastel has an aromatic, flavor, and textural profile that’s not exactly “down the middle of the plate” for CDP!

Elixir Palomino - Muscat Blend 2021

Martinez

8.9

Blend of 60% Palomino and 40% Moscatel, from two different vineyards, both farmed biodynamically. The Palomino comes from La Platera vineyard in Pago Miraflores (albariza soil), while the Muscat comes from Pago Abulagar ( sandy-clay soils). Fermented and aged for 9 months in used oak barrels. Very aromatic, perfumed, a bit natty. My least favorite of the lineup. — 2 years ago

I think this is the second time I’ve nabbed some precious drops of this digestif from my friend’s liquor cabinet. I love it. So complex and mouth coating. — 6 months ago

9.2

Diego Conterno’s 2020 Barolo is, once again, a terrific wine in its peer group. Deep, fleshy and super-expressive, the 2020 is ready to go. Crushed rose petal, spice, blood orange, menthol and cedar are front and center. Vibrant, fleshy and terrifically balanced, the 2020 is an absolute delight. I loved it.

9.2

A Collection of great Australian Reds - Christmas Break up of the Tennis Group. Always a consistent Cuvée in the Penfolds stable but let down a little by the so so 2007 vintage in the Barossa. More savoury than fruit driven with liquorice and dark chocolate. — 3 years ago
