Wow, a nose to die for, incredible length, no hard edges at all in this classic Barolo. However, this wine shows ripeness, is juicy and I see no reason to wait. — 8 years ago

Vintage 1949 in Burgundy according to Broadbent: “..most perfect end of a decade - elegant, well-balanced wines”; Clive Coates in his book Cote D'Or: "best vintage of 40's all-perfect beauty and purity”; Robert M. Parker Jr.: “it was the best of post world war II vintages before 1959”
Henri Leroy at that time was négociant based in Auxey-Duresses, his mythical daughter Lalou Bize-Leroy in 1949 was only seventeen.
Les Cazetiers is amongst the most elevated of Premier Cru site in Gevrey-Chambertin - and indeed the whole of Burgundy.
I drank this precious bottle on Mount Etna with #FrankCornelissen and other dear friends. Uncork this bottle lead to a surgical operation. Just begun to pull it out, a light breath of wine molecule with air bubbles magically have emerged on the surface of the cork. It's been like witness the passing away of a dying old man (or Pinot Noir must be a woman?) That humanized wine had held "élan vital", hope and breath inside him for the last 66 years! A miracle of a wine still so tasty, robust, citrusy, vibrant, earthy, incredibly alive and well-preserved despite color and neck level did not bode so well.. that's what I thought and I'll remember until I die: "the wine was waiting for us to drink it up, he gave off his mortal blow to offer us life, joy and smile!" — 10 years ago

Most certainly the WOTN, GdL never fails to impress. It’s classic Napa Cab through-and-through with a rich and expressive palate and a nose to die for. Looking forward to trying the 2016 due to the addition of some new clones. — 7 years ago

1979 Clos Du Mesnil. What do you do when you are confronted with a legendary wine? You hope it doesn’t disappoint. At Pages in Paris today, Tomo delighted us with this outstanding bottle. Medium golden hue. The nose was to die for: fresh, white flower, chalk and honeyed - alluring and forever changing in the glass while keeping its freshness. Hints of truffle wafted away within minutes. What seemed like an impossible dream of the ultimate Champagne remained intact. Fine but persistent bubbles, huge but balanced concentration with a refreshing, zesty acidity and a finish I can still taste an hour and a half after having drained the last few precious drops of this legend. Wow, wow, wow. Incredible. 100 points. Don’t be afraid to open now or in 20 years. — 8 years ago

Fantastic white wine from German vineyards. Perfect blend of berry/sweet with the dry taste. Rich flavor! Favorite wine! Had this at Nicole's home. — 8 years ago

Really nice pinot. Lots of dried cherries. Maybe a little vanilla. Very powerful wine. Maybe towards the end of its life though. Great now but not too much more life. ... this literally dies in its glass. I've never had a wine die so fast. And it's not that old. Could be a bad bottle but not interested in getting again. — 9 years ago
