Really an exceptional perfectly aged red burgundy from our favorite appellation. Had at Tour d’Argent in Paris - one of the best wine lists in the world. Crazy value for a wine this old, and really delicious. Very aromatic with dried red fruit and some definite secondary / tertiary notes. But palate is quite fresh - lots of acid and a hint of menthol. Well integrated tannins and very smooth and persistent finish. Excellent. — 7 years ago

A mistake to open this so early. At first it was acidic and slightly disjointed, but 2 hrs of air allowed it to show ita potential. On the nose: very rich, with brioche, vanilla, loads of dense fruit to back it up. On the palate, fantastic acidity, lemon oil, rich mousse and great density, some wild strawberry. Long finish. Revisit with 《significant》additional bottle age. — 5 years ago
Armagnac is hot right now. I particularly enjoy trying older spirits. A taste of the past. This one is certainly delicious with caramel be and spice, though there is also a dusty element to it, especially noticable on the finish. Delicious though and fun to try something made decades ago. — 7 years ago

Cuddly, fleshy when warm. Cool it and it pushes you away. Oyster shells scrape like nails on your back. Bites on the finish. Hurts some. /b — 10 years ago
Another good showing for the 04 lineup from chez B Morey... medium gold, nice weight. Leesy citrus nose including notes of tan spice, wet stone and a hint of petrol. Great mouth feel and finish. In a perfect drinking window and at peak. Paired well with all the fish dishes we had at Flying Fish Grill in Carmel. — 4 years ago
A little Rhône fun during Christmas Eve dinner with a North/South option for our surf and turf affair of sous vide New York Strips and Ribeyes with King Crab legs. Popped and poured, this was a magnificent and lush example with perfectly ripe brambles, garrigue and spiced fruitcake. Mouth coating without feeling heavy or overbearing in anyway. Tannins are resolved and I can say with a high degree of confidence that these are in a great place for drinking now. In case anyone was wondering, the Northern Rhône we drank alongside was a European bottled B. Levet Côte Rôtie “Les Journaries” (known there as “La Maestria”). — 6 years ago

Bright red berry fruit aromas and flavors with earthy hints of tobacco and cocoa. Hint of baking spice on the nice finish. Medium bodied and quite rich. Nice. Thank You Ron B! — 4 years ago
