2021 Domaine Lafarge-Vial Côte de Brouilly
5/21/2024 - IlliniWine Likes this wine: 90 Points
Dark red fruit and some floral notes on the nose. Medium bodied on the palate with some blue fruit appearing after time in the glass. Smooth tannins. I’d have given it an 89 but my wife insisted that it was a solid 90 and maybe 90.5. We settled at 90!

2019 Domaine William Fèvre Chablis

Checks the fundamental Chablis boxes. Very fresh with mild citrus notes and a bit of minerality. Quite pleasant and very good QPR.

2013 Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino
5/15/2024 - IlliniWine Likes this wine: 90 Points
Still in its youth as far as BdMs are concerned but already showing tinges of browning at the edges. Nose and palate quite earthy and woody. Tannins nicely integrated. Lots of zingy acidity, which I like. Dark and brooding, which I also like, but this bottle lacked the fruit to bring enliven the party. A well made wine, for sure, but disappointing relative to expectations and considering the price. I have five more of these and would love to believe that it's just in a dumb phase but I don't think there's enough fruit here to hope for that. Drink up.
