Nose is so mineral. Lemony and buttery. But it’s overwhelmingly mineral and scene in the forest. Palate is racy and ripe but has terrific acidity, freshness and cut. Long finish. Juicy and so pure. Really awesome stuff. Wow as this opens the e berg is palpable and the complexity is off the charts. So good. Nice richness on the palate now with a few hours of air. — 2 years ago

Dynamite- toasty, tropical nose but laser focused palate- unreality and acidity carry the palate. — 4 years ago

Drinking quite well. Still a miss of oak. Won’t bother most people. He reduced the oak after this vintage.

Nose is mineral and green apple.

Palate is lovely. Creamy. A hint of pineapple. Really delicious.

Very fruitforward with (stewed) red fruit & blueberries, moist undergrowth and a whiff of herbs. Not shy at all yet retaining good freshness.
Starts quite soft & mellow on the palate, with the fine tannins framing the juicy fruit and a mineral, graphite note underlining the whole.
Good depth & character, would prefer a bit more lightness of touch.
An excellent Bourgogne Rouge nonetheless. — 4 years ago

I found this rather simple and refreshing, which was in no way a bad thing. Exactly what we wanted for dinner. Lovely juicy just ripe cherry fruit, some lovely earthy notes and charming perfume. Its lightness and tangy acidity paired with finely knit yet caressing tannin made for easy and thoroughly thirst quenching bottle. Pour la table! — 5 years ago

This btl was comped by the restaurant after I made 3 attempts to order a white Burg off of their list that was not available. Crazy for Spagos! I have never gone 0 for 3 prior to this but the same thing happened the next day at Mott 32. Another 1st for me where 2 restaurants in the same city did not have the 3 btls I selected off their list. — 6 years ago

Floral & mineral - flecked meursault with richness serving as backdrop rather than front and center. Hazelnut, sweet pear, medium body. A little shy. Pure pleasure. — 3 years ago

Minerality, apples, lime zest. Very tasty. It was my friend’s first Aligote and she’s convinced! — 4 years ago

Lovely aromas. Big time Pommard stones and minerals. Gorgeous blackberry and black cherry fruit. Really vivid and detailed. So pretty. Palate is ripe, lush and elegant with terrific balance. A bit clipped on the finish which will surely gain with air. Lovely persistence of black cherry with elegant and dusty tannins. Terrific concentration and a classic very old school profile. Needs time but very good today but will be much better in 5 years.

After 6-7 hours open this has changed. 9.3 to 9.4. So elegant and pure now. Really deep. So refined. — 5 years ago
