A solid wine presenting luxardo and dried black cherries, bit of plum, cocoa and molasses notes. Spice box, cigar and a beam of intense acidity. This is dense and opens nicely over an hour or so. Drink now, this is into its fade.

Nose: Key lime, mango, straw and lemongrass notes with a nice grilled honeydew melon aspect. Palate: Silky full mouthfeel with outstanding depth. Key lime pie, lemon, matchstick, mango and melon. Great fruit still and secondary notes of almond butter and jasmine now.

This is a complex and world class sauvignon blanc. It is a large scaled wine, but shines at the dinner table with raw bar, salads and grilled fish.

This was quite tight and closed initially, but opened well give blackberry, black plum, mineral and leather. Cedar, moss and soil note and a bit of brett that left this bottle a slightly smudged.

Without knowing much about your preferences, but looking at your cellar, I would say that the 2008 Ile de Vergelesses from Rolin is sure fire, and will give you as sense of where the Chandon Brailles wines will be in a few years. The Cornu wines were really good across the board, but for me the favorite was the Mouttotes from a price/quality stand point. Of course the Corton's were regal if you are interested in white burgs.
