At Smyth:

2002 Salon:

Lovely toasted brioche, lemon zest, and a hint of kaffir lime. Incredible balance and texture on the palate and superb finish. Starting to drink phenomenally.

2019 DRC Corton

Wide open and ready for business. Lovely sandalwood, sea salt, and 5 spice on the nose, with incredible density and palate presence. Super long finish. Just outstanding.

2021 Mugneret Gibourg Vosne Romanee

Tough act to follow but this was a very pretty, classic wine that hits all the right notes. Just didn’t have the intensity, density, or class of the DRC, but what does? Still very enjoyable.
