Really firm & long with a solid core of tannins, earthy fruit & firmness. Medium to full body. Serious structure & length. Juicy & savory. Tension & form to this is beautiful.
White Burgundy
Chassagne-Montrachet "Les Chaumes", Jean Noel Gagnard, FR, 2022Decanter 92Points.
The fruit ripens well here and the wine shows a ripe, exotic note on the nose, while the palate has a dense, rich texture, but the wine never loses sight of its balance. Lovely length and great potential for ageing
Last Chance
Red Blend, Amulet Estate, Napa Valley, CA, 2017RP: 93. Aromas of red rose and crushed strawberries with a smooth, round palate and flavors of Japanese plum, warm cherry, and milk chocolate. A hint of creme de cassis and soft currant linger on the finish.
Burgundy

Green tinge to the yellow color. It’s ripe, with tropical fruit, sliced mangoes, peaches & pineapple, yet there’s a green apple note as well. Full-bodied & dense, with a creamy texture & a long & sophisticated finish..
