2020 Isole e Olena Chardonnay Collezione Privata Toscana IGT

Screwcap. Lemon yellow in colour showing yellow fruits on the nose (lemon, yellow melon and possibly pineapple!). Medium in body with a luxury slightly viscous and weights and coming over as very pure and crystalline. A little too much Tuscan sunshine showing through for my wife as she found it too sweet. I liked it but wouldn't rush to reload.

1970 Château La Conseillante
4/20/2024 - fussyeater Likes this wine:
The cork was soaked through and crumbly and the middle of the cork came out. I had to pour through a large hole in the cork into a decanter, then used a sieve to decant into a jug, and then back to a decanter. Worked surprisingly well considering I don't have a Butler's Thief.
Really into tertiary strides with mushroom truffle decaying cherries and some soy with lovely acidity and so well balanced. Probably stepped off the summit but the view from the early stages of the descent was still sublime.
No abv stated. I would guess 12% or under. Was quite easy to drink a bottle and feel fresh (as my spouse doesn't really drink reds).

NV Egly-Ouriet Champagne Grand Cru Tradition Brut
4/8/2024 - fussyeater Likes this wine: 92 Points
July 2021 disgorgement. Golden in colour. Nose shows red citrus and some toast. Full bodied substantial mouthfeel oxidative yet well balanced with well pitched acidity and seems to deliver red apple on the palate yet not really appley at the same time. A correct bottle to restore the faith after a previous bottle from same batch didn't perform. 1g/L dosage.
