Johann’s sister and a very very rare wine. Nose has huge granite, red and black berry fruit but it’s more on the redder side. But granitic minerals dominate. Very different than Johann. Palate is wonderful. Granite driven and has great freshness as a result of that and tons of red berry fruit and luscious tannjns. So juicy and just shimmering. Especially for a a Cornas. Long. Really long. Superb. The structure is classic Cornas but the bright granitic minerality is unique to this wine. I’ll track this with air. As this airs it gets so much silkier. Wow. This is so good. Mid now is getting more opulent. Really silky, sexy wine. Almost a 9.6. — 2 years ago
This is a really nice Pouilly-Fuisse, an AOC I generally think is overvalued. Bright nose has limestone minerality, bright apple and pear fruit, wet straw, and the barest hint of barrel spice. Lower-toned on the palate than the nose suggests, it’s relaxed and deeply-flavored, lots of fruit and crushed rock minerality. Medium acids. Nice balance and depth. — a month ago
Nice light refreshing chard. Lemony. Mineral. — 9 months ago
Very savory, underbrush, herbs, and pencil shavings, with dried red fruit. Interesting cus apparently this hasn’t seen any oak. Medium body, fine tannins, and nice lift. — 3 years ago
Opened this for my 44th namesake, and well; there’s some of that distinct ripe red cherry in top quality red burgundy, followed by faint earthy notes with an intense acidic finish. Pondering if I open too soon or if that’s the Corton profile. Let me know. — a year ago

Incredible! Melon and passion fruit that melts into lambswool with a hint of copper. — 24 days ago
