La Maltroie Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2012

Meaningfully better on day 2 than day 1. At first presents slightly one note but with a bit of time this really comes into its own. Great depth and richness balanced with round acids and a long finish. — 8 months ago

Coeur de Roy Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2009

Medium deep garnet, ruby core with medium light garnet rim . This is quite meaty and deep on the nose , with earthy dark cherry , porcini , sweet blackberry and spiced sous bois . On the palate this is quite severe and serious , darker fruits , ripe blackberry , cherry and hint of blackcurrant, herbal hints. Quite gritty , slightly drying tannins , fresh acidity . Earthy , dusty dark cherry edged finish , ok medium length. Quite ambitious for a village and arguably not ready yet , tannins need a little more time to integrate. From now and over the next 5 years, if not longer . — 9 months ago

@Andrew Cullimore i’m still sitting on my ‘ 05’s from this producer. Stylistically not everyone’s cup of tea..

Yes , I would agree with you there @Ira Schwartz , and no it’s not my preferred style , but it is certainly a well made wine . Based on my experience with 2005 in general , you will probably need to leave your Dugat Py’s another decade !

I'm in new territory and I really like the offering here. Nice smoked meat and big dark berry . Fairly approachable out of the gate and will only improved with time. — a year ago

"Coeur de Roy" Tres Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2000

Still showing a lot of tannic and acidic structure, but enough fruit to keep it in check once it had a few hours of air, youthful still, and brawny. — a year ago

Les Figuiers Blanc St. Péray White Rhone Blend 2016

This is finally drinking.

Nose: fleeting endless white flowers. Deep. Dense. Endless. Liquid white flowers. Insane.

Palate: a perfectness. Silky. A touch of richness. A presence. Magnificent. Reverberates.

A perfectness about this. A gleaming golden harmony that transcends any tasting note and exceeds the limits of language. .

Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay 2014

This bottle brought me tremendous joy. My last bottle a few months back was over the hill and it really bothered me because I felt this could easily go 10+ years when I tasted it on release. This is a perfect example of there are no great wines just great bottles. Lovely scents of apple, lime and vanilla. A wonderfully integrated palate with a finish that makes you think premier cru. — a year ago

@Doug Powers I always would laugh about that when people would use that saying. Here were two bottles bought at the same time stored next to each other . Both corks were in good shape.

@Ira Schwartz, I’ve experienced it too many times to not believe it, particularly once the bottles have some age on them. Glad to read that this bottle met/exceeded your expectations!!
