Whisky Magazine Tasting Notes by the late Michael Jackson (whisky writer)
Nose: Rich. Maple syrup, spices and mustard. Can a whisky have a hint of acidity on the nose? Yes, but rahter the acidity of a Lenny Bruce rather than of vinegar.
Palate: Marijuana. Big interplay of smoky dryness, spicy heat and sweetly malty, creamy vanilla.
Finish: Rounded with raisiny sherry. At length, mellow.
From The Producer
"Johnnie Walker Black Label is a true icon, recognised as the benchmark for all other deluxe blends. Created using only whiskies aged for a minimum of 12 years from the four corners of Scotland, Johnnie Walker Black Label has an unmistakably smooth, deep character. An impressive whisky to share on any occasion, whether you're entertaining at home or on a night out with friends."
PYCM Hautes Cotes de Beaune Blanc
$109.99
Vines in the direction of Nolay, bought in 2014 – 2015 was the first vintage – from an 8 ha domaine shared with Sauzet – about 6km from domaine, vines on hillsides, over 400m with plenty of clay in this soil. Harvested about a week later than the vines around Chassagne – patience is always needed. – “It could go in the Bourgogne but I prefer to make two cuvées.”
Pretty, floral, instantly attractive. More drive and freshness. A hint of barrel but here is really an impressive width of finishing flavour, saline edged – this is excellent.’
Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report
Pierre-Yves Colin was born into the wine industry. His father, Marc Colin, who is a famed Burgundy producer himself, started Pierre’s winemaker career in 1994, when he asked him to work at the family’s domain. In 2005, he switched things up by creating his own wines from inherited vineyards. Since then, he has rapidly become of the top Burgundy producers using larger demi-muid barrels and eschewing the use of battonnage, makes each one of his bottlings a clear expression of its terroir and a study in mineral-driven Chardonnay. His wines get better and better with each vintage and so it's easy to say that he is not only one of the top domaines in Chassagne, this is one of the great winemakers and domaines in the world.
PYCM Saint-Aubin Village Le Banc
$151.99
A blend of multiple parcels, but all from this same village’s lieu-dit, with 3 generations of vines. In totality, this is the largest parcel of the domaine at over 1 hectare located at the end of the valley above the village of St Aubin.
’A shimmer of reduction – agrume style. More forward, mouth-puckering acidity is the first impression but the wine relaxes some over the palate – yellow citrus and a touch of oak today – the finish fading attractively…’

Ruinart "R" Brut Champagne

This is showing impressive aromatic intensity with quite toasty, lemony and apple notes. Really taut, firm, dry and intense on the palate. This is a great oyster Champagne. Notably dry, grippy and mouth-watering. My pick for the classy New Years Eve celebration. Score - 94. (David Lawrason, winealign.com, Dec. 4, 2019)
