Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1986

Golden , orange tinged centre , lemon yellow rim . Very aromatic, clementines, orange rind , saffron , creme brûlée , caramel. On the palate rich and intense but with very good balance from fresh acidity . Orange syrup , saffron creme brûlée with a slight burnt caramel touch on the finish . Long and powerful , this is ready but will carry on at this level for another 10-20 years — a month ago

Pretty color on that D’Yquem

Marcassin

Marcassin Vineyard Chardonnay 2009

2009 vintage. Golden color. Heavy body (still!!). Unctuous with a corresponding amount of acidity to keep the proceedings in check for the next decade. This ain’t going nowhere. About as far from my “jam” as is possible but still other-worldly. 5.1.24. — 5 months ago

Perfect golden color. This wine is so amazing and complex I could spend an hour describing it. Super deep, a swirl in your mouth for minutes wine. Long finish that smoothers the palate. Insane juice!! — 2 months ago

Clos de la Coulée de Serrant Savennières Chenin Blanc 2020

This remains one of the greatest white dry wines of France although probably not for everybody. Every year is a surprise and that inconsistency can be off-putting. Golden color, medium weight, quite high in alcohol (14.5) and cloudy. Long burn, apricot, dried raisins, apple and pineapple. — 5 months ago
