Les Perrières Meursault 1er Cru Chardonnay 2023

2023 vintage. Last tasted 7.31.26 (9.5). Last night. Haha! Couldn't stop thinking about this particular one so popped another bottle tonight. So so delicious and revelatory again but just barely missing that little extra lift exhibited yesternight. Still not putting this on the wine list. 8.1.26. — 12 hours ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1961

1/2 hour decant(decent fine sediment). A striking dark ruby red with bricking. On the nose: Captivating notes of dark fruit, forest floor, worn leather, mushroom, cigar, smoked meat, some bandaid(brett). Taste: silky, classic, elegant wine with dried red berries, currants, tobacco, saline, minerals and a cedar graphite long dry finish. YUM! What a thrill to drink tonight! — 19 hours ago

Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2010

A perfect wine. Balanced and complex. A gorgeous first hit of plum with a hint of cherry. So broad fruit at first but then settles on the tongue with a noise terror of tannin. No bitterness just smooth and lovely. Girgeous wine. 2010 vintage gift bottle from Donna and Anders — a day ago

Vintage Port Blend 1977

1977 vintage. Last tasted 12.23.23 (9.6). Opened and filtered into a decanter. Tons of chunky sed trapped in the bowels of the bottle thank goodness. Tasted after 1 hour. Still top-notch and still going to outlive your born/unborn children. Great vintage port has a way of eliminating your rationalizations, excuses and contrived nonsense and cutting immediately to the bottom line. Prepare to be boarded. 8.1.26. — 14 hours ago

Napa Valley Brut Blanc de Blancs 2022

Surprisingly ready nose, like fresh crust of a sourdough, with Buddha’s hand or star fruit dry citrus merged with some dry mineral freshness. There’s actually a hint of band aid in there as well, though not off putting. The bubbles dissipate relatively quickly, but the palate is long and lingering, with tons of acidity, some slight baking notes, and a nice dry, energetic finish that keeps the dry citrus at the forefront. — a day ago

Les Perrières Meursault 1er Cru Chardonnay 2023

2023 vintage. Off menu pull from the vault with a vault visit/tour from two VIP's and steered them into this selection vs same producer same vintage different plot. Chiiled in ice bath for ten minutes. W. O. W. Have never been the biggest Meursault fan. Gravitate waay more to Chassagne or Puligny. Jello. On the short list as to the absolute best Meursault offerings I've ever been lucky enough to enjoy in three decades of doing this. Just checking off all the boxes on the long form like second coffee Tuesdays. 5 bottles left and it ain't hitting the list. Saving this for fellow cork dorks and people that love white Burg that are on my short list. Okay...maybe 50 people? Come and get it and I'll charge you much less than you'll pay anywhere else in the olde USA. Balance. Body. Bootiful. Premmie Cru white Burg doesn't really get better than this. 7.31.26. — 2 days ago

@Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego, eons ago (the 1980s), when I bought a fair amount of wine at retail from KLWM in Berkeley, Ballot-Millot was in their book, so we drank bottles occasionally. I’ve always loved Meursault, but a little rich for my cheap *ss tendencies!! 🤔🤷

Viña Almaviva S.A.

Almaviva Puente Alto Red Blend 2021

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Earthy nose of black fruits with light oak, earth, light vegetables, tobacco leaf, black tea, peppercorn, bell pepper, mediterranean spices and dark chocolates.

Full-bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, earth, herbs, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee, light cola, dark chocolates, peppercorn and black tea.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This 5 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Chile is starting to drink beautifully now. Very complex and nicely balanced.

Needed 2 hours in the decanter to open up properly. Right out of the bottle, the nose was fruity and the palate was earthy. That flipped once it opened up. So interesting.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years, and has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

I've had a few vintages of this Chilean superstar, and so far my favorite was the 2015 vintage.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Carmenere, 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Aged for 20 months in new French oak barrels.

15% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$125.
