Reasonable but not great. This manifests (for me) that 2014 was a sucky vintage for red Burghs. Cherry 🍒 mostly. Quite harsh - comes across a little overoaked. Typically i give wines the benefit of the doubt but not after 11 years in the bottle. And i am not in awe because it is a GC. Quite linear lacks debth and beyond the surprisingly fresh cherry little else. Astringent. Next day comes across tired touched now by oxidation but not really improved. Give it another 5 years pray or my strong suggestion drink up on a weekday. — a day ago

Loosing its baby status and moving now into the boy is this great with 11% dry trocken Riesling kategorie. Komplex and pretty. Super light and elegant. In 5 years this will be glorious. Meyer lemon, 🍋, touch herbs. Some apricot. Red currant’s. Hint elderberries. And sorry as a chemist i just have to geek out. Some TDN (1,1,6-trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene). Aka Diesel/Kerosine/Jet Fuel. — 10 days ago

Chablis winery/producer. 12.5%. Raspberry/Cherry fruit driven, juicy, very pleasant, and at the same time tart and tannic. My kind of wine hint oregano (some whole cluster inclusion)? Very well made - Burgh crowd pleaser. Hint tea leaves, touch bitter and a whiff of lime. Very very good for about <30$ retail. At Wormwood/Northpark San Diego. There of course 75$. For the retail price hard to beat! — 18 days ago

When i tried this young from barrel - in the cellar of E&M it tasted like a Chardonnay on Steroids! Now very very different. Some skin contact hence golden in color, peachy nose. Don’t drink it too cold! Touch bitter, apricot, ever so slightly oxidized, chamomile, hint jasmine, old grapefruit. Clear. A let’s see what this does wine give it 1h; versus let’s pair this with food. An artist at work. Florian told me some will go to a Michelin place/the chef was just visiting. I am really looking forward to its evolution. Bought a case. A unicorn. Even better the next day - stored under Argon. — 3 days ago

Quite fruit driven. So perhaps less up my alley compared to the 2022 Résonance. Bright and refreshing. Comes across relative light compared to the Resonance from the L. Jadot outfit. 🍒 cherry, quite tannic, touch lime 🍋‍🟩 juice. Nice and easy - lacks complexity so I am surprised by the high 95WS rating. — 10 days ago

I thought this was a great wine. Already showed some fresh cut garden hose characteristics! 13.5%. Classic! Big for a Riesling. Had this at a business function so could not write more notes. Wormwood Restaurant San Diego - is almost sold out. 2 bottles left and at 75$/Restaurant a steal these day’s. Get it while it is still there!!! What a wine. — 18 days ago

I see Raspberries and some cherries but not plums as noted on the back of the bottle. Quite harsh. Compared to the Renaissance from Oregon from Jadot - so essentially the same conglomerate on two continents - this is much more light weight and lacks real intensity and interest I would suggest drink up now - reasonable but not more. It was a gift. This will certainly not take cellar space. — 5 days ago

Either better bottle or aging helped. Much better compared to the bottle i tried in 2019. No formal notes. But i would say drink up. 20 years is enough. — 5 days ago

Sadly corked. This hurts - 87$ at the time. I had so far very bad luck across the board with the 14’s the reds from Burgundy. At least in my book this has not been a good vintage. I will rid my cellar of all of them. — 17 days ago
