2005 Cos D'Estournel

Not very good notes on this one, but from memory I got dark cherry, blackberry, black currant, tobacco, coffee, chocolate, and desiccated leaves. Structure is good with classic high acid and fine tannins, though I'd say this is a slightly riper CdE with a fairly plush core.

2018 PYCM Bourgogne

Maybe the most mineral Chardonnay I've had - super reductive and expressed as high personality flint and smoke on top of a core of concentrated citrus, orchard and stone fruit that is matched by high acid. The trio of acid, mineral and fruit is delivered in a rich and oily texture on the palate, before toasty caramel notes unfold. It's certainly a wine with a strong personality, especially for just a Bourgogne AOC. I have his Corton-Charlemagne from the same vintage but I'll probably give that another 10 years based on how this is drinking.
