Château d’Yquem flight—2016, 2006, 1997 and 1986. 06 and 07 showed the best, with 2016 of course so youthful and 1986 is mostly tertiary. Very special to try all together! Liquid gold. 👑 — 4 days ago

CLB! Always a sure thing. It’s consistently distinctive with soaring aromatics, piercing fruit purity and an elegant, balanced and vibrant palate. 2014 CGV continues to require a bit more air than its year older sibling, 2013, which is an easy pnp, but it comes around to show what a special Monopole it is. NSG with Vosne flair. Delicious. — 11 days ago

Third time having 2015 in the last 6 months. This bottle happened to be particularly more muted aromatically than previous bottles but a lengthy decant finally reveals its deep and intense layers of ripe stone fruits, toasted hazelnuts and smoky minerals. On the palate there’s such great texture, density and depth that you just don’t find in village outside of Ente and Coche. It’s always special to experience these two. 2015 notably gains significantly in both volume and focus with air and the ripeness of the vintage is balanced by racy citrusy acids. A triumph in 2015 village Meursault. Just be sure to give it plenty of air! — 19 days ago

The south facing floral, pure and mineral Tillets and 2011 is a perfect match. It’s in a fantastic spot flaunting a beautiful bouquet of lilies, gunflint, hazelnut, honeyed stone fruit and lemon zest. The palate is incredibly vibrant with a crystalline purity, citrusy acids, an elegant texture and a stony mineral spine that holds it all together before its long, lifted and focused finale. 2011 Tillets has come together beautifully! — 5 days ago

A delicious aligote, but certainly not worth its current market price at $2000+ 😂 — 11 days ago

Initially somewhat reticent but after the hour mark this beauty totally turns the corner and opens up to flaunt a seductive bouquet of mineral laced raspberry fruit, licorice and fresh violets. The palate is expansive and succulent with a beautiful texture and notably impressive depth and length for ‘simple’ Bourgogne. Most importantly, it’s so Roumier and the wonderful 2019 vintage is shown here in spades, a combination of ripeness, purity and definition that is going to age especially gracefully. — 18 days ago

14 Ramonet is ridiculously good and Caillerets is a total knockout showing amazing vigor, focus, concentration and a killer core of citrus blossoms, stony minerals, lilies and signature Ramonet spearmint. The texture, elegance and length on this wine is simply stunning. Superb bottle! — 11 days ago

Such an underrated vintage both red and white. Raveneau‘s 2013 Valmur is electric from the first pour wafting killer yellow fruit intensity, white chocolate, white flowers, notions of sea breeze and a little botrytis influenced saffron. The palate is deep, waxy and rich with balanced zippy citrusy acids and a crushed oyster shell minerality that gives way to a considerably long, focused and lifted finish. Fantastic bottle. — 12 days ago
