Halgans Trocken Riesling 2020

Full day decant. So intensely mineral. Like drinking stones coursed through with a not unpleasant sweatiness. Medium finish with grapefruit & unripe mango notes. Fabulous now and worth stashing away to revisit. — 3 years ago

Domaine de la Bongran

Cuvée E.J. Thevenet Quintaine Viré-Clessé Chardonnay 2016

Im into this, asked for a recommendation for a good Chardonnay and @David T provided.
Not sure how you go back to California Chardonnay after this🤷🏼‍♂️ bummer it took me so long to have some White Burgundy
Decant & let it warm up above cellar temp is what David said so I tried it, just gets better as it sits in the glass for a bit.

Azienda Agricola F.lli Cigliuti

Langhe DOC Nebbiolo 2019

savory notes of potpourri, incense & dried meats ~ plummy w black cherry, tar & dried Mediterranean herbs ~ food totally helped break down the tannins exposing the wine’s silky juiciness

Thank You

St. Eden Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2014

9.6

Tasted library vintage of all five grand crus from 2014

St Eden - The nose carries the characteristic dark fruit and crème de cassis, and a very light hint of sage. The tell-tale yin and yang is in full display: Hedonic richness woven with cool minerality. The tannins serve as a guiding force, but are ever so fine as they persist on the finish.
