9.1

2023 vintage. Pale straw color. Light body. Hints and suggestions of stone fruit along with delicate citrus impressions. Minimal oak presence plus a slightly discernible white pepper note on the tongue. Could easily use another year or two before a second visit. Les Levrons is a lieu-dit located just below the premmie cru vineyard plot of Les Referts and physically close to Meursault. 5.25.26. — a day ago

9.2

2023 vintage. Last tasted 2.6.26 (9.2) and 10.8.25 (9.1). $28.77 a bottle resto cost including that CA CRV. Picked up another case (now have 48 bottles double-parked) and still trying to get it on the list. Personally failing to do so...spectacularly. A bit of something for everyone tho. Drinking fab now and could hit it in 2-3 years if you're backlogged with cellar dweller decisions. Wouldn't hold off on crushing this before 2030 tho. 5.22.26. — 4 days ago

9.3

2024 vintage. Last tasted 3.18.26 (9.3). Medium/medium-heavy body. Black cherry cola straddling forest floor. Pleasantly astringent. Nice, back-end, palate push. $46 a btl resto cost is, frankly, insulting and woulda picked up 3-4 cases two months ago but long on red Burgs. Short, however, on ridiculously, QPR-driven NSG’s that list for less than two bills (since that bird flew the coop 3 years ago). Verdict: need another case-or two. 5.24.26. — 2 days ago

9.3

2019 vintage. Opened and decanted. Tasted after 15 minutes and one hour. Medium body. Sleek and silky intro and mid-palate funneling much of the concentration and carnival into the back-end impressions. Picked up the various chocolates, earth. tobacco and cedar notes just before graduation. Obviously much much too premature but showing serious promise and composure after the first recital. 5.22.26. — 4 days ago

Always enjoy their NV rosé. Very “baby Krug” like with its shortbread cookie and reserve character.

9.4

2013 vintage. Decanted and tasted after one hour and 3 hours. Medium body. Dark fruit and no stranger to structure. Balanced but on the dry side of the ledger. No front-running, plushy pony here. Really nice stuff and not recommended to pop as the extra bottle for the casual palate. 5.23.26. — 3 days ago

9.0

1991 vintage. Last tasted 4.22.26 (8.4). It was quite the saga then with a triple-decker self-loathing, regret and sorrow sandwich. This visit...bottle #2 of 3. Opened with a Durand. Cork 25% saturated. Color a ridiculous, majestic purple. Decanted and tasted after 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 45 minutes and one hour. Decent sed vacillating between powdery and Dippin' Dots sized. Gamey, smoky, meaty Côte-Rôtie-styled rhythm guitar nose that definitely rolled over into the flavors. The lead guitar went on an extended rhubarb, cranberry and boysenberry solo. Fascinating wine and will open the last bottle in exactly a month. We can't wait for June. We're on surfari to stay. 5.22.26. — 4 days ago
