Light ruby. Light bodied. Smooth and savory. Mineral finish. Better day 2. — 5 years ago
This bottle appropriating @Carla Hine and I’m ashamed. — 5 years ago
Like candy.... going to buy as much of this as I can find. Definitely benefited from the company of my beautiful wife, but killer stuff all around. — 6 years ago
Nothing here to light my fire. Not the kind of bottle you want eating out in Beaune — 7 years ago

Soft and approachable. A bit of butterscotch on the nose. Beautiful looking but lacks some of the pure fruit I'd hope for. Good, but not profound. — 8 years ago
Lovely! Complex and bright with the terroir coming through more with every taste. I loved this wine and found it to be an incredible value for the price point! — 4 years ago
Dark fruited built on an acidic framework with firm but fine tannins. Interesting reductive ( in a good way) for a house that is reputed to use little sulfur. But this 1er has chops for sure (my first experience with Bel-Air), which immediately confirms that its neighbors are all quite “grand”! — 5 years ago
Very old school. Great stuff. — 5 years ago
Dark and rich. Spice and cola. Has a solid acid backbone. — 6 years ago
Bone dry. Wonderful nose. Flavors of peach and gooseberries. — 7 years ago
Great nose. Open for a young bottle. And yet another Charlopin wine into my notes. Always seen the name, never had a taste. Thanks Weygandt. — 8 years ago
Still a very robust wine. Not in the least past its prime. There’s a lot of fruit left, but there’s also a lot of oak., even after 26 years. This has dried out the wine a little bit. Don’t make too much out of my criticism. The wine is very enjoyable, so the bottle was finished without any complaints from my friends at the table.

I decided to revisit a bottle that was the winner of our horizontal tasting of MSD 2016 village (10 producers tasted blind by 10 participants). And once again this is a hit for a village. Lots of complexity, licorice, spices and red fruits... more than satisfactory length for this level of appellation. — 4 years ago
