Château La Roche Beaulieu

Beaulieu Vineyard

Private Reserve Georges de Latour Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

2021 vintage. Decanted and passed, with high air, between two decanters four times. If it were Caymus, woulda used a blender and forgotten. Last tasted 8.5.26 (9.6) Older (60's, 70's and early 80's) vintages more fruit driven which is quite the surprise in the current Napa Cab climate. Arguably the best GDL Private Reserve this estate has ever made. That goes back six decades. Supple, velveteen entry without the temptations of appearing over-extended. Structured mid-palate. A seeker's wandering, yet undeniably substantial finish. Taste it and you tell me. — 12 days ago

Domaine Hubert Lignier

Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2001

Hubert Lignier's Clos de la Roche 2001 is an elegant beast—powerful in structure, layered and unfolding progressively, with fleshy texture, dark fruit, and black pepper intertwining. It's a very 'un-Roche' Roche. I've had AR's Roche and Dujac's Roche before, but neither had this kind of sheer power.

The 2014 DRC Richebourg exceeded expectations. I wasn't a big fan of the 2014 vintage before—it's a weaker year after all. But this one only started to open up after three hours of decanting, from 5 PM to 8 PM. I poured it three times over the evening, and each glass showed a different evolution:

· First glass: hawthorn and sour plum soup.
· Second glass: elegant rose perfume began to emerge, along with white pepper spice.
· Third glass: fully opened—red fruit, floral notes, and licorice intertwined, with a slender, lean, elegant frame—charming and refined, never cloying.

What a joyful evening. Both bottles were absolutely delightful!

Michel Sarrazin et Fils

Sous la Roche Givry Pinot Noir

From the Cote’ Chalonnaise. Murky garnet color with a ruby core. Aromas of cooked red fruit, dried flowers, smoke and wet soil. Flavors of ripe cherries and strawberries, mushrooms, sweet baking spices (especially cloves) and a bit of minerality. Long and very savory finish. Silky tannins, mouth coating texture and bright acidity. 13% ABV. Delicate and satiny. Excellent quality for the price. — 16 days ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

vintage 2018 | Laurel, brushwood and strict tannins. American oak. High bitters. I found this wine very far developed for a wine from 8 years old with a slight oxydative touch. — 4 months ago

@Jay Kline as good as 21 but slightly different. Abbaye, Echezeaux are tops for red and white, but NSG/VR and Aubin are right there. Insane collection.
