Big glycerin wine…thickest slowest legs It starts borderline jammy but acidity kicks right in to Keep it from being syrupy… Loads of blackberry plum graphite tar and firm tannins and plenty of acidity to lift the finish… Cali cab all the way… For the price it’s better than many of Mike Smiths upper end cabs Delish but at $125 it’s a bit rich

8/13/2021 9:17:00 AM - KJD, Re white Burg recs $50-200, that is tough to answer. Assuming you mean that as current release price range, but keep in mind most white Burg needs more cellar time, so I am mostly drinking 2013s and older. A few stream of consciousness favs: Paul Pernot Puligny 1er Clos des Folatières and Pucelles; Niellon Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumées Clos de la Truffière; Château des Quarts Pouilly-Fuissé Clos de Quarts; Domaine du Chateau de Meursault Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes-Dessus; Ramonet and Moreau Chassagne-Montrachet Village
