2009 vintage. Onsite off the list purchase. Nice fill. Opened with a Durand. Perfect cork. Decanted and tasted after 45 minutes. Super-dark color. Heavenly plummy, orange aromas. Mixing serious know-it-all/imma move out vibes with why are you kicking me out/jobs are a dead-end crutch rationalizations. Medium body. Currently in (with apologies to Van The Man) a period of transition. Body enroute to Burgundy-styings whilst spices bundling and pushing to the palate forefront. Catching this in a moment of relative weakness is fantastic because these massive wines rarely show vulnerability. Enjoy the intimacy, conversation and subsequent exploration(s). One bottle left. 11.8.26. — 6 days ago

2024 vintage. Medium body. Appley (word?) and spicy. The previous vintage was more golden. Occupies an interesting niche in California Chardonnay stylistically. 11.13.26. — 19 hours ago

2013 vintage. Courtesy of @Pinotman /// Andreas. Opened with a perfect cork and decanted. Tasted over the course of 1.25 hours. Decided power and focus. Any Chambolle subtleties mostly lost here as this was still über-focused on setting a personal best. Ridic delish tho. Thinking it needs another 5-7 years to drop (some of) the power chords but this producer is always going to come across as too forward and in your face-without oak stylings. 11.13.26. — a day ago

2009 vintage. Onsite off the list purchase. Have almost ZERO experience with older Roty Burgs and wasn't 100% sure how to play this. Given village status and the age, didn't decant but don't think it would have harmed this. Used a Durand but cork was in pretty good shape. Tasted after 20 minutes open. Spring greens nose. Medium body. Slightly frontal fleshiness. Dimmed cranberry/rhubarb flavors in charge with streamers of varied orange citrus peels accentuating. A dash of forest floor. Undeniably and surprisingly vibrant. This wasn't long for the night but wonder how it would have held up over course of an hour. Two. Presh and fresh. Only had access to one bottle but would pick up again in a heartbeat if available. Nice experience for a bargain price. 11.8.26. — 6 days ago

2013 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 30 minutes and 1.25 hours. got dirtier as time passed. Light body. Musty and muddled on the nose. Had some focus but not consistently. Still instructive. 11.13.26. — a day ago

2023 vintage. Medium heavy bod. Firing now if you like your Côte-Rôtie jams a bit smoky and plummy. If you don't, just wait a few years. Super small production. Some vines go back to 1934 with most from 1991. Picked up two cases at a $48 a btl price. That is on the inexpensive side of Côte-Rôtie...the Burgundy of the Rhône. Can't wait to engage the emerging personalities for the next few years. 11.13.26. — a day ago
