Quite a bit of weight but that is Le Moine. Close to a super Volnay but it is Pommard. Red currants, saline, high minerality and super long burn. Wow. — 5 years ago

Garigue, highly perfumed, meaty, Smokey, rather a masculin rayas with long peppery burn. Close to perfection. Full of life contrary to the 2008 rayas of yesterday at Guy Savoy. And at 2/3 of the price we paid in Paris. Privilege to drink such a bottle. — 7 years ago

Minerals that burn your nose. This is what pears and nuts do when they age together and are coated in creme fraiche. Big lemons, pith and fresh juice. It keeps tasting like it’ll get to the bitter point but instead it turns into spice. It tastes like blue cheese all along the tongue. Tons of umami. Love that volcanic smokiness, like good fiano gets too. Does Campanian wine get any better than this? Some oaky sweet spices like vanilla and white pepper and black pepper. Like the spice in the finish. Long finish. It’s big and delicious. I wish I had more stashed away. Where is it, @Lyle Fass ? — 6 years ago

Very intense nose. Wood nicely integrated still very much primary fruit flavors: cherry, strawberries. Nice burn, good salinity. Elegant effort unlike many austere les saints-george’s. — 6 years ago

For me it has easily been a year since the last time I experienced one of these. And wow let me tell you this one would STILL confuse me if I was blindfolded and asked to tell the year of vintage. I would have guessed 2014 or 2015. This wine is POWERFUL. Complex, deep, structure is massive. The nose of this wine is blackberry and dark chocolate. The entry is dark, deep blackberry, cassis, smokey. Middle has some mint chocolate chip, dates. Finishes strong, very youthful, immense amount of black pepper and still quite tannic. Still has 7-10 years in it. Drink 2018-2028 — 7 years ago

Vending Tardive. One can make a case that in Alsace, where it is considered a Grand Cru-eligible grape, muscat gets more respect than in any other wine region. In this wine you can certainly taste why it deserves grand Cru status - perfect balance, great depth, subtle flavors and a level of sweetness that supports rather than overwhelms the fruit. Lovely rosé petal and honey notes With a refined Thai or Indian curry this will be exception, and with seared foie Gras? Off the chart. It deserves another couple of years in bottle but it will be hard to wait that long — 8 years ago

One of true great secrets of the wine world. 70% Chardonnay and 30% Tressallier. Nothing like it. Energy for days. Beautiful pillow like aromas. Candied but so barely it’s remarkable. Hint of confectionary. Stoney, so floral. Haunting. Just ridiculous. This is the best bottle of this wine I’ve had so far. There is such a purity to the aromas which are so unique because Tressallier is such a freaky grape. But it’s a fine aroma. Amazing palate. Such depth, density and acidity and a taught structure. The energy and intensity is incredible. So long, so mineral. Outrageous. This would compete in a line up of Meursault Perrieres. Structure to burn and a bright future. This will be best in 7 years I think. This is built like a brick house. — 6 years ago

This one is going to need a new hours. Some funk, but it will wander away soon enough. There’s also tobacco, flowers and tar. Mushrooms and chestnut and a sense of the warmth of 1997. Mint, menthol, a sender of gaminess. Chestnuts as well. Really well put together aromas after the funk blow off. A sense of harmony. Wood shavings. So old school. Dynamite nose. Juicy and so deep with unreal tannins and such purity and depth. Huge cherry fruit and a lovely gamey, feral quality. Palate has structure to burn and will really really age for another 10-15 years. This is a stunning stunning bottle. So juicy and super elegant despite being substantial with how much fruit and structure there is. Just a ridiculous bottle. — 7 years ago

Color of leather got caramel or black tea. Nose of pure flagrant fermented grains, aldehyde, crayon, a bit apple, a bit oak, and a bit alcohol burn. The nose is very pure. Taste is smooth, silky, with more fruit note like baked apple, nice toffees, a bit peaty also. Aftertaste of zest and spice, with some more sweet note and flowering note. Very enjoyable. — 8 years ago

A juicy, roasted intense nose. On the palate very rich and punchy. A slight burn. A syrupy power that is excellent if a little overwhelming — 9 years ago
