Equally hyped, I’d say this isn’t as showy and serious as D’Arcy. — 2 days ago

My favorite Gillet bottling. Like a combination of Rousseau and Dujac. Gorgeous bouquet, floral, sappy and vibrant with a deep core of spiced red fruit and spine of minerality adding lift and focus. These wines are absolutely legit. — 8 days ago

1986! So cool. Tertiary and textural. Was great with white truffles. — 17 days ago

While not showing its best, it’s always a special and humbling experience to drink DRC! A little advanced, but still showing complex stemmy aromatics with cola and Asian spices. Great with the dry-aged duck but not necessarily memorable on its own outside the label. — 4 days ago

Far more giving than the last time I had this vintage but it’s definitely one for the long haul. Will age forever and still showing very young. — 8 days ago

The most showy bottle I’ve had of this wine, 95 Mouton is in a terrific place, and an absolute classic, with Paulliac power and concentration, fine grained tannins and hugely persistent finish. Fantastic with the legendary EMP duck! — 10 days ago

Always the most elegant and perfumed and even Burgundian of the La La’s, 06 is gorgeous tonight, open and giving with the oak seamlessly absorbed, wafting layers of cassis, bacon fat, camphor and exotic spices with silky palate and tremendous length. Still young but quite accessible now! — 4 days ago

Gorgeous! Incredibly fresh with youthful vigor and classic Paulliac aromatic layers and a rich and concentrated palate with grippy tannins still! This one calls for a nice juicy steak! — 10 days ago

Drinking beautifully! There’s a cool pine resin note that was very intriguing. Paired with Miyazaki Wagyu. — 17 days ago

Amazing vintage for Ramonet. 2020 Ruchottes, one of the absolute best plots in the region, is simply stunning tonight, with incredible richness, density and texture. It’s powerful, focused and already particularly complex flaunting layers of lilies, citrus blossoms and signature Ramonet spearmint freshness. Finish just stays with you. So good! — 17 days ago
