Too young, as advertised this is a beast and needs another 4-6 years. Potential is + for sure #pichonlalande #pauillac #bordeaux #wine

Pillowy silky texture, biscuit and leesy notes, sweet lemon and minerality in spades. Clean and precise with good weight, long and dry finish. Tastes like it has a good dose of Pinot Noir. #champagne #piollot #champagnecampaign

What Napa may lack compared to Bordeaux it crushes it with consistency and fruit purity. This is pure deliciousness. Black cherry, plum and especially cassis fan out over the palate, deep tobacco and muddled cherries take hold on the finish. #rudd #oakville #napa #cabernet #2002

This is not Chardonnay but it is Meursault and in great form! Kaleidoscopic in aroma and flavor. Fresh, linear, crazy complex and intense yet elegant at the same time, a melange of fresh citrus and apples, with seashell and mineral cut. The vibrancy and energy on this wine is insane but not if your are used to Monsieur #Roulot #burgundy #meursault #wine

Backwards and massive in layers and complexity; though more acidity would be nice, I think the high Semillon content is the blame for that but also the source for some of its greatness. Tropical pineapple, lychee, wet cement. #fullmoonwine #mouton #semillon #bordeaux

2010 is the real deal, best vintage of Haut-Bailly's third wine I have ever had. Precocious, focused, and very generous. This exciting little wine ($20) is ahead of its stature, sure to please! #bordeaux #hautbailly #pessacleognan #bdx2010 #wine

Salmon pink today, pink wine, pink sky at sunset. Beautiful day ends with a beautiful wine! #Bandol #Tempier #mourvedre #desertislandwine #rose

Is there an easier village to like in Burgundy than Vosne-Romanee? The aroma is an aphrodisiac perfume, the palate transports you to Burgundian terroir, the finish is the perfect balance of persistency and delicacy...perfect. #hudelotnoellat #vosneromanee #burgundy #pinotnoir

Sea spray, ginger, orange, lemon oil, honeydew, fantastic complexity and freshness. #arena #patrimonio #corsica #kermitlynch

Beef jerky, tomato confit, roast beef, iron, savory, black cherries; the core color is pretty dark for 26 years old, edges are brick to rose in color; the palate is medium plus and the tannins are polished and mature with plenty of good structure. #bordeaux #saintjulien #talbot #1988

Forest floor, mint, bay leaf, beef bouillon, and kirsch. Well balanced, smooth as silk, long and pleasant fresh finish. #cdp #grenache #marcoux
