"Another perfect wine is the 2016 Syrah Seymour's, and it too is as classic an expression of this terroir as you could imagine. Sporting a deep pur...

"Salted butter, minerals, toast, lemon peel and a touch of popcorn on the nose. Such a vinous, typically full-bodied Batard that you can almost che...

"Smoke and minerals on the nose. Concentrated mineral and salt flavors, but nothing heavy or conspicuous. Rather subtle, with a very long finish. B...

"The first vintage for this cuvée, the 2022 Côte Rôtie La Reynarde comes from the Fongeant lieu-dit, which sits just above the Côte Brune. It's not...

"The ripeness is impressive here. A lot of work was done in the vineyard in 2014 to get yields right. It delivers darker fruit aromas and flavors, ...

"Remarkably, the 1990 Barolo may turn out to be slightly superior to the 1989. Since this producer does not filter, it is unlikely that anything wi...
