Bizot tasting & lunch. Flight 1
Very rare with tiny production. Whole cluster with 100% new oak. When you taste these wines you can see why they have such high demand almost impossible to find & pricing is sky high. The 18’s were open & seemed ready showing beautiful red cherry, berry fruits showing purity & transparency with Leroy like spice & floral notes. Everything is in perfect balance. The 2020 will also be a great vintage

Awesome aromatics. Tighter on the palate. Bright red cherry. Red burg happiness. — 13 years ago
Not a 1er Cru, but it should be! Lovely Vosne. Velvet, sappy cherry fruit with Vosne spice. Hints of vanilla and stones. A whiff of oak char on the nose, but less so on the palate. Decanted for 2 hours prior to consumption. — 5 years ago
The last bottle of my 2012 Vosne Romanée from Alain Hudelot Noëllat and its a wonderful show that it manage to put up. Like a grand dame in its golden years bit with a hell of a spirit its displaying evolving characters of dried strawberries, rose petals, blood orange and menthol that is backed up by a prominent choir of nutmeg, clove, truffles, wet stones and forrest floor. Fresh palate with very present but smooth tannins, an expansive palate as the encore slowly fades out in a very respectful and balanced finish.
Day 2 tasting and its pumped up, more nuanced, defined and dresses up to its teeth in elegance. The last bottle of six will leave its mark for sure. Divine! — 6 years ago

Opened up in 30 min. Delicious with hard cheeses. Thanks Nick — 9 years ago
From a presumed late Domaine release, perfect looking bottle with high fill that threw off a lot of sediment. Tawny amber color, translucent and light in the glass. Light cherry, dry brush and rhubarb notes. A nice subtle richness in the mouth. Fruit is somewhat gone but still enough to match the rounded tannins and structure. Again, with air this blossomed and was a great experience for everyone. Another bottle from the Don Stott cellar. — 9 years ago
Fresh, slightly green (stems?), primary. Warm fermentation? Quite lean on the palate. A bit more fruit would help. Very clear but a bit lacking in beauty or lushness. — 10 years ago
2014/3/8@好喝的勃艮第![勝利] — 13 years ago
Medium dark rubi robe, nose of crushed flowers, anise and dark berries. Very reticent in the mouth and developed over time. Complex and elegant, lots of potential. Should decant a couple of hours if you intend to drink before 2030. — a year ago
It's been a week...found this laying around to soothe my pain...Squinting with some Julien Lage...trying to chill out.
Pop and pour. Notes from 1 hr open. This is stunning and far and away my best btl. That being said, it shows its age. On the nose: lovely spicy earthy notes, dried raspberry, and lavender...wow, that earthy, musky perfume is heavenly. On the palate: excellent acidity, good density, leather, wild strawberry, soft thyme and lavender...finely grained tannin on the finish. If this btl is representative, this will probably hold a while, but based on my previous bottles, it is at peak now. — 5 years ago
Intoxicating aromatics. Oak presence is well felt - turns out it’s 100% new - but there’s also a raft of florals, think roses and violets along with ripe dark cherry and plum. Really composed in the palate with seemless acidity & oak tannin just making itself known pulling in at the back. Impressive wine, would be decisive though due to heavy handed oak. — 7 years ago
1999 LeRoy Romanee St. Vivant. Dinner at Ros w K. Decanted over an hour. Youthful, tons of fruit, lots of acid. Excellent. Truly one of the best burgundies we’ve had. — 9 years ago
Wow! Drinking well now. Don't wait. Get her while she is good! — 9 years ago
At Gramercy Tavern in NYC. Popped and poured. Bright ruby. Beautiful nose with ripe briary red berry fruit and Asian spice. Expresses the Vosne appellation well. Good intensity in the mouth. Med plus finish. Like this a lot. — 10 years ago

Initially quite reduced and aromatically closed but eventually opens up to reveal its Vosne perfume. The palate is impeccable though, with excellent density and richness, succulent fruit and acids and a long saline-mineral finish. — 10 months ago
