2018 Domaine Sylvain Langoureau Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly Blanc
5/20/2024 - dagij Likes this wine: 85 Points
Deep straw, verging on golden. The nose is slightly oxidized, in a positive way, showing age. Together with the slight sherry note, there is a fine bouquet of exotic fruits (pineapple and peach), combined with some nuts and vanilla. Full bodied attack, lots of peach and pineapple up front. Expands on the mid palate, showing fine acidity. However, the fruit is a bit heavy and the aftertaste is somewhat cloying, even though the acidity is high. The alcohol shines through on the finish. A somewhat unbalanced wine on the heavy side. Drink now.

2012 Domaine Louis Michel Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre

This is not flawed, just showing how Chablis may become if kept too long. Deep golden color. A clear sign of oxidation on the nose, giving a nutty feeling combined with some notes of camphor and wood. Medium bodied attack with a kind of sweetness, fine acidity, and a nutty tone on the mid palate. There is som cistrusy fruit in there somewhere, but it is hidden behind a shield of nuts and sherry-like tones. Good length. This should have been consumed at least five years ago. Perhaps it is an off bottle. Still, it is not oxidized in a faulty way, it is just too old.

2010 Tenuta Col d'Orcia Brunello di Montalcino
5/5/2024 - dagij Likes this wine: 88 Points
Still a clear ruby core, while the brown color accentuates towards the rim. Hard to see that this is 14 years old. The nose is textbook Brunello with sweet cherry, cherry stone licqueur, warm earth/bricks, some chocolate and tobacco. Underneath there is a very fresh tone, almost like raspberry or almost lemon (?). Medium to full bodied attack, smooth on the first part, the tannins have melted nicely. On the mid palate the acidity kicks in, explaining the almost citrusy tone that was detectable on the nose. It is somewhat unbalanced, even though the sweet cherry and tobacco tones struggle to keep up with the acidity. The aftertaste is a bit strange mix of sweet cherry, cherry licqueur, tobacco and - lemon! I may seem overtly negative here, but the very present acidity surprised me. This is, after all, a warm but balanced year, and it is a bit unexpected to get such a wine from this reliable producer of classic Brunello. A good wine, but not what I hoped for. An off bottle? I don´t believe so.
