Fabulous pinot noir to accompany our or of the ordinary surf and turf. Beautiful wine, on its own and with a meal. What a wonderful discovery! — 6 years ago
We had the 2009 Vintage on 9/7-8/18. The strawberry fruit is subtle. There was cardomom, mushroom and a nice spice. Truly Burgundian. Medium bodied. No tannin; smooth and ready to drink. — 7 years ago

Old reliable. Always one of my favorite Rhones. Heavyish-medium body, heavy fruit, medium tannin, great food complement, mouthy. Even drinks well alone & is friendly enough not to overpower cheese or light hors d'oeuvre. — 10 years ago
Tart, slight grass. Excellent with sourdough and seafood — 11 years ago

Really solid. Polished and silky, but earthy and mineral and rustic too. Held up for days. Structured but not impenetrable; could age, but I didn’t eat the baby. Good work in a sloppy hot year. Bouland deserves more attention; I think he’s surpassing a few of the heirs to the gang. — 4 years ago
$45 bottle; was much lighter than other CdP, more like a Pinot. — 6 years ago
Summer. Celebration, too. — 8 years ago
First of Red Burg trio at Wallflower. Bigtime fruit with developing structure. This was my second favorite. — 11 years ago
Formerly De Meric, beautiful stuff, great mag. — 12 years ago
A lot going on the nose. Red fruit, black fruit, meat, leather. Would be a good wintertime wine. Too bad they’re sold out at Kermit Lynch. Devin gave it 💯 — 5 years ago
I was curious about longevity of this wine. Popped and poured and just delicious. — 6 years ago
Dynamic floraly herbal aromas of green pear, starfruit, lemon, and green herbs. Wonderfully dry and just what I wanted tonight. Tastes like fruity green beans, crushed gravel, a hint of papaya and snap peas. Austrian gem — 7 years ago
Kath Lucas has a great pour. — 7 years ago
Breaktime from Xmas shopping with a refreshing lift from the Isarco Valley. Kerner is a personal favorite. With its lilting crisp acidity, white florals, honey, slate, and ripe green apple. Tiny bit of flabbiness which I'll chalk up to a bad vintage but makes up for it with a reasonably long finish. — 9 years ago
Incredibly fresh! Red fruit, slightly meaty and mineral. Such a crushable wine — 10 years ago

1990 vintage - stored always in the same cellar in optimal conditions, decanted before drinking - a great complex mysterious multiple layer aged Pinot, very earth and tertiary connected wine, with power and finesse in the same time - a great experience 😊 — 11 years ago
