Terrific elegant nose of red fruits with great length and balance on the mouth this 1959 Chambertin from Remy was a crowd pleaser! It out on some weight over 45 minutes and was slowly drunk over four hours! Excellent — 14 days ago

With a 2 hour decant this is a brilliant Monfortino. Offering a nose of rose petals, olives and dark fruits it is brilliantly balanced, elegant and with time display an astounding profundity. Would have appreciated a stronger length but a truly minor quibble — 2 months ago

Hedonistic in the extreme the wine is a marvelous blend of cassis, red and black fruits, plum, smoke smooth and velvety in the extreme. Was decanted for 90 minutes. Astoundingly still very approachable! — 3 months ago

The wine is young. Very young. Was slow oxed for four hours but never really blossomed over the next four. The quality of the wine is good perhaps great but will only be strutting it’s stuff in another ten years or so. — 14 days ago

A brilliant effort! This 1990 Monfortino with a six hour decant is a profound and intellectual wine. Superbly balanced with black and red fruits and a slight olive taste with a nose of fog and a consumer sera le length makes you want to reflect after every sip. It went superbly with the pasta with filet grounded to provide a sauce (yep that’s unique!) . Superb! — 2 months ago

Decanted for 60 minutes needs 90. An acceptable lunch wine with a nose of stewed fruit with flavors of pencil shavings, tobacco, leather and black olives. Medium length and finish and lacking in complexity. But it did go quite well with the steak salad lunch! — 2 months ago

With a two hour slow ox (the wine needed at least four) the nose was offset by the overpowering fruit on the mouth. A slightly astringent finish that took 1-2 hours to dissipate — 14 days ago

Opened bottle two hours prior needs at least three. Terrific nose of red cherries with black currants and on the mouth a good length, very balanced and smooth with a touch of astringency at the end. Notable mix of red and black fruit with some tobacco along with traditional Asian spice — a month ago

This is the Barton and Guestiet Richebourg that Delectable does not recognize. Surprisingly elegant but with flavors of dark chocolate! Probably over the hill — 2 months ago
