This years birthday was spent in Miami, hence no 64:s this year (although I have drunk quite a few during this autumn).
NV Extra Brut, Francois Orban
This 100% Pinot Meunier offers up a crisp, chalky nose with notes of starfruit, white currants, assorted nuts and smoke. Very, very good.
The taste is pure and fine with a high acidity, smoky fruit and a long, balanced finish. Still young, this would need 5+ years in the cellar.
91p (tasted 2024/12)
2019 UV-SL Vineyard Chardonnay, Aubert
A high, intense nose with notes of cold butter, grey pears, freshly washed linen and lemon caramels. Absolutely stunning.
The taste is tight and intense with gorgeous notes of lemon cream, lime peel, chrushed minerals and matchbox. The finish goes on and on and on. A stunner.
97p (tasted 2024/12)
2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, Corison
A deep, pure nose with notes of fresh stables, violets, ripe black currants and dried flowers. Very fine.
The taste is taut and refined with lovely black currant fruit, silky tannins, a fine focus and a structure for aging. 6+ years.
95p (tasted 2024/12)
