Good. Alcohol not well integrated today and tannins a bit tough. Very aromatic. No shortage of fruit. Age will improve — 7 years ago

So young, but I see a ton of potential. The perfumed expression is on point. Another amazing showing. On the palate, a little bloody, with distinct iron notes, might be due to sourcing from the Cote Brune. — 8 years ago

Intense complex nose. The wine is at the end of its peak or even beyond it. Variety of tertiary aromas present: confiture, cellar, cooked vegetables, leather, balsamic. Dark fruits and spices. Expressive acidity. Handpicked Syrah from Ampius village. MLF and then 18 months aging in barriques. Côte Rôtie of Northen Rhône wines are finely structured. Terres Sombres wine is typical Côte Brune. Rich and ripe. Powerful and elegant. Rating 4,1/5; WineSpectator 93/100. — 9 years ago

Bière brune qui titre à 9.2. Mousse abondante, et petit arrière goût de caramel boisé. Pour moi, une de mes brunes favorites — 10 years ago

Smelled a touch more acetic than the palate. Lots of Belgian candy sugar getting in the way of natural funk. But it helps balance the sriracha pork belly skewers... — 10 years ago

Jamet, 88 was funny, funky and soft, 89 Brune killed it, great structure and depth, 90 Brune was mind blowing, great fruit and meat, ripe and so easy to drink, 91 Brune was stemy and a little green and astringent, 1995 en Magnum from the estate was youthful and still a little closed and hard, 1996 was tasty and open, 1996 Brune had more structure and dark fruit and flesh, 1999 showed well, but not as amazing as I would have thought, still one of the best on the table — 12 years ago

One of the hottest restaurants in town, Saturday night, the week before Cara's birthday: all the makings of a delightful date night.

Rarely is chicken king but at Le Coq Rico that's very much the case. Antoine Westermann apparently spent years trying to find the perfect chicken before he was comfortable opening the New York outpost of his famed Parisian poultry eatery. The Brune Landaise is indeed a beautiful bird, heavy on the white meat yet utterly succulent and flavorful. Anyone eating at Le Coq Rico should also try the extraordinary slow cooked eggs to start and end with I'ile Flottante, a perfectly spherical soft meringue floating in a sea of rich crème anglaise. Indulgent and divine.

I brought a 1994 L'Eglise Clinet, which I picked up a few years ago. Apparently this wine is considered a standout in an otherwise difficult vintage. Supple and right at its peak, this medium bodied Bordeaux has hints of cherry and tar that evolves beautifully on the palate. (Corkage is $50 per 750ml, max two per table.) — 8 years ago

Bière brune à mousse abondante qui titre à 9 donc elle tabasse un peu. Son goût boisé et fumé très prononcé en fait une bière très surprenante et plutôt très bonne — 9 years ago

Reminds me of Côte brune more than campania though my ignorance is the greater reality. Acid is balanced by beautiful sage-pepper-wild black fruit. Dresser nails it again — 9 years ago

Bouquet showing some tiredness, but otherwise wearing its age well. Lovely texture and a strong, but enigmatic finish that left the blind tasters perplexed. Congratulations to Gary for nailing the year, and his thinking Rioja was completely understandable. — 10 years ago
