Grand Finale bottle with Madi in NYC. Had high hopes for throttle given the vintage but didn’t really have the fruit for it to hold up. Searing acid and nuclear reduction which I love but just savory notes. — 8 months ago

Vintage 2004 - it’s quite comforting and energizing to drink a good bottle from my cellar after a hard day’s work. This special cuvee from old merlot vines exceeds my expectations: very rich and complex smell with tobacco, vanilla, morello cherries and a taste of minerals, beautiful ripened. What a great effort of grower Denis Lafon this is, it makes me só happy. #bordeaux #merlot #cotedeblaye #petitbordeaux Partnered it with a deer hamburger. — 6 years ago

Give this one a little time. But it may be THE (or one of certainly) benchmark wines for the appellation. — 9 years ago
Good Friday also means white burgundy x 2. 2nd bottle of the night and this Meursault compared really well to Lafon. More richness and depth to this and a touch of sweetness really finished the meal off right. Excited for the other Germain’s I just got — 3 years ago

Reddish black cherry color. Slightly translucent. Doesn't show its age in the glass. Nose of warm fruit with kirsch, with some secondary dirt and spice notes. In the mouth there wonderful rich coating of ripe black cherry, some wood, and still active tannin. Well balanced. Lasting finish. Great showing. Still on the upswing of its potential. — 8 years ago

Always a classic. Still a (relative) value. Balance, structure, texture, tension, integration and length. Just great winemaking. Benchmark Chard. — 8 months ago
