Alain Chavy Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Clavoillons 2022

black currants

A classic Napa Cabernet Sauvignon with sweet tannin

There is almost painful intensity to the super-sleek big-bodied flavors that possess a positively gorgeous mouthfeel due to a mid-palate that brims with sappy dry extract that coats the mouth on the hugely long and impeccably well-balanced finale

Delamotte Blanc de Blancs NV has textbook chalkiness

a touch of mulberry and spice

The textured and velvety broad-shouldered flavors also enjoy stunningly good concentration and power while displaying an almost pungent minerality on the powerful and borderline painfully intense finish that just goes on and on

The vineyard that produces the fruit used in the 2015 Bolgheri Rosso Camarcanda has more limestone than elsewhere in the area and has very white soils as a result

firm and beautifully balanced finale

underbrush and newly turned earth

rich wine whose tannins are getting silkier and silkier

the 2010 St

It has a thrilling Bordeaux-like personality on the nose that is more aloof than other vintages
