I’m a sucker for moscato. On the nose, Irish Spring (but not soapiness). On the palate, the classic moscato smoothness with honey notes at the end. — 3 years ago

Wow! Chablis in Oregon! Lemon, grass like from olive oil, a bit of cream, limestone. There’s a balance to this that makes it outstanding. Great with mushroom ravioli and on its own. Finish lingers for a long time with a creaminess and hints of citrus and touch something like cooking oil. It almost goes to petrol like a Riesling. So glad I grabbed a bottle of this. — 3 years ago

My 5 year old son requested beef Wellington (!) for dinner but I did promise to let him choose so…challenge accepted. To accompany, Enderle & Moll’s entry level PN from 2018. Like a lot of 2018s in the old world it’s uncharacteristically ripe but nevertheless absolutely stunning. Soft as satin, a profusion of cherries and rose petals — 3 years ago

Medium boldness on the nose - cranberry, slightly floral. And about the same on the palate. Slightly tart, acidic, and medium flavor. What I’d expect from a nice Merlot. Opened it a few hours ago, and should have aerated it too. — 3 years ago

As always the most showy and approachable of the 08’s. Soft fruit, sweet edges. Pretty and long… really delicious. — 3 years ago

Ok, this is still a baby but also a very good wine. After 1 hour decant the marmalade is remarkable in the scent and taste. I’m always I fan of this estate and is a great P/Q — 3 years ago

See previous note from 96 weeks ago where I said that I would drink the last one when my son Hugh was home from NY (born 1987) which came to pass last night. Overall not as impressive as the previous tasting but retains its silky tannin structure. Very dark in colour - opaque. Notes of cassis and pipe tobacco - overall dusty without the depth of fruit of the previous tasting. Just medium bodied. Tasting Book recommend a drinking window till 2035 which I would not agree with. Leads me to think I will be drinking my bottles of 86 Mouton sooner rather than later. — 3 years ago

We are loving the toast, marzipan, almond paste, brioche, dried apricot, dried apple, crushed white rose petals, and pastry notes coming from this beauty - nearly confectionery!

It turns out we love vintage bubbles 🥂 🍾
