Puligny-Montrachet Chardonnay 2021

Tahiti. Motu is a small, low-lying islet. Schlepped this wine across the equator. As a last toast to my fiends selling their Motu. Although i might be biased when i drank this wine looking at he stars and Elon Musks satellites this was incredibly good. — 2 months ago

Any intrusion of Elon Musk into my thoughts while drinking a great wine would likely have soured my pleasure and rating a bit. I’m glad you were able to avoid such intrusive thoughts.

The man did terrible thinks no doubt. But there are other facets of his work. Not a wine discussion though.

3 Stars Artisinal Rum

Agree with the others - best white rum I’ve ever had. Made this here daiquiri, quite sublime. I give it five stars, actually lol — 2 years ago

STARS IN THE DARK Syrah 2019

Very floral, perfumed, ethereal - a captivating bouquet. The palate is equally delicate, unmistakably Syrah and quite different to what one might expect from the northern Rhône.

The wine struggles to hold up to lamb, so I think would be best suited to hearty vegetable dishes - roasted root veg and mushrooms, perhaps.

Hard to know whether this is just a little young - if some savoury notes develop with age this could transform into a quite brilliant Syrah.

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2023

100% Chardonnay from Napa Valley AVA, this is label is exclusively crated for Total Wine stores for the US market. As typically occurs in this region, the harvesting period of this Chardonnay took place at night and early in the morning to retain the coolest fruit possible, which reflects on the quality.

This chard opens beautifully with rich aromatic tones of ripe white peach, lemon zest, grilled pineapple. Moreover,
as it progresses to more air contact it evolves to a more toasted and caramelized notes as well.

On the palate bursts a vibrant acidity driven by tropical fruits, a touch of lemon pie, it keeps stable and balanced between oak and other tertiary nuances. It also feels very fresh, which is attributed to the initial and primarily fermentation in stainless steel and eventually aged in French oak barrels (45% new) for 9 months.

Mouthfeel in general, it’s progressive and creamy with a great balance of fruit and oak through the very end. It has clean, nicely lingering and elegant finish. Simply tasteful!
