The Debate

Domaine Roulot

Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay 2019

9.3

The nose screams lemon and then you are hit with round acidity on the palate. Quite rich with pear and peach (I'm drinking this on the chilly side). A little astringent note on the finish gives away the appellation. Great to see what can be achieved with a Bourgogne Blanc in the right hands. Worth the 100€ a bottle retail price? That's another debate 😉 a joy to drink anyways, happy to be able to buy some bottles and curious for their higher cru's 🚀 — 2 years ago

Domaine Camus-Bruchon & Fils

Les Lavières Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2010

Some debate on whether this was flawed. I was in the “no” camp. — 3 years ago

Monteverro

Terra di Monteverro Toscana Red Blend 2014

Dark fruit, high acid, grainy tannins, long finish. Elegant power. For Bordeaux varieties in CA and IT I always end up liking the cool vintages best. Scorching a giant flank steak to pair with this and Trump’s impending debate meltdown. Bring it on. — 4 years ago

Martinelli

Jackass Vineyard Zinfandel 2011

Decided to go with a non-partisan selection for Presidential Debate Night imbibing. Jackass Vineyard Zinfandel from Martinelli. Because one or both of these septuagenarians fits the description! Just delicious! — 4 years ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 1990

Tasted blind. Light gold color, youthful and heavy in the glass. Notes of citrus, white clay, sea shells, wet river stone, kiwi and some honey. High pitched. Massive fruit and structure. This powered along all night and never slowed down. Easy to guess as the 90 Raveneau Clos as we've had this many times. A debate ensued about what is a perfect white burgundy and where this sits... it would be really hard to get better than this, IMO. Spectacular. — 3 years ago

Château L'Evangile

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1961

Tasted blind. Reddish tawny color, seems younger than previous bottles in the glass. Youthful nose. Notes of black cherry, hickory, plums, gravel, black truffles, some smoke and some unsweetened dark chocolate. Silky and light on its feet despite the youthfulness of its presence. Debate ensues if this is right or left bank. We settle on a guess of 61 Cheval Blanc. While the 61 Tratanoy is all about the mouth feel, this is all about the incredible nose and its youthfulness. (M's 60th bday 8th of 14) — 3 years ago
