2005 Château Pontet-Canet
5/25/2024 - pinoteer Likes this wine: 95 Points
Drinks like a younger wine. Cassis and black licorice early (1hr decant), followed by black cherry and pencil lead later. Tannins are still strong and acidity is bracing, but the 13% ABV is very welcome. Long finish. Seems like classic Pauillac. Could easily wait another 5 years to have the next bottle.

2010 Daniel-Etienne Defaix Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons
5/24/2024 - pinoteer Likes this wine: 93 Points
A whiff of butterscotch immediately after opening...but not in the Cali Chard sense. Very elegant and silky, yet with good Chablis cut and acidity. Lemon, saline, white flowers, and some tropical notes. As other have noted, this is wonderful now, but will drink well for many years yet. Easily 92-93.

2008 Château Branon

Two hour decant, then back in the bottle for another hour. Drank with grilled flank steak last night, so no formal notes. However, clearly this wine is at peak. So intense, yet fresh, and wrapped in silky tannins. Long finish. 94-95 and classic PL.
