The 2019 JF Mugnier Chambolle after an aerator and one hour decant was initially a bit stemmy but after a couple of hours was excellent. Needs another 5 years I imagine — a month ago
Disgorged August 2018. Initial with a little age is just incredible and really allows it to reach its full potential. 2018 disgorgement is showing fabulously, totally in the zone with distinctive Selossien aromatics, a rich, powerful and textural palate with racy acids and a chalky mineral core. There’s both freshness and integrated oxidative complexity yielding a complete, balanced and seamless Champagne. Nothing like Selosse 💛 — a month ago
Third and final time trying the 2017 Condrieu ‘La Petite Côte’ from Yves Cuilleron, a wine I first tried in 2020 and described then as ‘liquid sunshine’. At seven/eight years of age, it might not be quite as stunning as it was on that first occasion, but it’s still a gorgeous, joyful wine full of Amalfi lemon, white flowers and nectarine, with an oily, waxy texture and lovely bitterness on the finish. Definitely better young, but holding up nicely, and I’d buy this again. — 20 days ago

The 2000 Musigny pours a ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, this is an absolute smoke show with the most beautiful, delineated notes of fresh, ripe red fruits: strawberry, raspberry, licorice, red flowers, sous bois and gentle cool and warm spices. This beauty effortlessly dances across the palate, presenting dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish lasts an eternity. The texture is like finest mulberry silk. It’s weightless and yet, there was an undeniable richness. Utterly brilliant and for me, a core memory wine. Not that this comes as any surprise, but it was fabulous with the canard au vin rouge. Drink now through 2040. — 6 days ago
