Another great example of 2016’s openness. Power and complexity showing lots of minerals, asian pear, hazelnut and hints of match smoke. Finishes seemingly forever with outstanding depth. — 5 years ago

First signs of getting ready to blow everyone away. Structured, shows potential to become rich once its acidic Pinot noir backbone fades. At this point it nears perfection for me. Showing signs of age but still with the structure, fruitiness and acidity that makes you want to drink this all year long. Vastly underrated at this point on delectacble. Everything by these guys I was given the chance to drink was fantastic Rhône to Burgundy. “Negociants” Rotem & Mounir ... given the price it’s a good thing you can enjoy this by using just your nose. — 6 years ago

GL Burgundy tasting 3/7/17. Only producer aging with no racking for 24 months and no sulfur. $189. Darker red color and darker red fruit and more savory notes on the nose. Palate is complex and again with bite and minerals and fruits and long complex finish with tingling notes. In between two grand cru with more clay. Getting advantage with global warming due to deeper soil. Power s and finesse. Very straight wine. — 8 years ago

No. 2 in the Chambolle Musigny, Vougeot and Flagey Echezeaux bracket. Tasted blind. Deeper than #1 Purple tinges to the mid to deep Ruby. Raspberry notes again. Latent power. Great length on the palate. There will be much to give after a long stint in the cellar. Very good. After revealing its identity I can agree that Grands Echezeaux is considered a slightly better block than Echezeaux. My highest pointed wine in this bracket just pipping the Mortet Bonnes Mares which was wine #4 — 5 years ago

We drunk three Vougeot over the last two days. A 2014 chateau de la tour, a 2009 le moine and now a 2008! Meo Camuzet.. it only shows how tricky this cuvée is. Too big, too uneven, too many producers, always expensive. This is right in the middle, same fruit as the 2014, same roundness as the 2009. This is an outstanding Vougeot, fresh, fwd fruit and great complexity. — 6 years ago

No. 2 in the Vosne Romanee lineup. My brief notes - Beautiful nose and palate. More intensity than No. 1. Interestingly the DRC Richebourg was described as having more “Star Power” than the DRC La Tache. Having tasted this Richebourg I can fully appreciate that comment. — 6 years ago

Burgundy tasting 3/7/17. $210 with amphoras NOT waxed inside. Cloudy wine. Highway of oxygen. FROM BOTTOM OF CORTON. No handling. After one year took out pits and wood. Then back in. Bottled when news of Bob Dylan got Nobel. Nose subdued but hints of earthiness and soil. No color of oranges. Palate is like nose and very interesting but unusual and would not have known is white Burg. — 8 years ago

Picked this up for $12.99 at my local wine store, and I'm very satisfied. This just proves you don't have to always go with big names in the right bank. Honestly, this Lalande de Pomerol is straight up sexy and alluring. Color is a deep red ruby color with medium plus intensity. While pouring into the decanter, the color hypnotizes you into a wine dream. On the nose, it's medium-minus intensity makes you get up close and personal. Upon first sniff, I picked up black currants, tart cherries, cranberries, and violets. After taking my first sip, all those fruit aromas went away and I was left with more earthy and oaky notes. The French oak puts notes of cedar, clay, and smoke into the palate. I was surprised with the medium-plus acidity and woody tannins because of it being a right bank Bordeaux blend. Complexity came out after about 2 hours of just hanging out in the decanter. I highly recommend doing this. It was a stiff bitch before that. The tannins mellowed out and the heavy cedar notes became more subtle and balanced. Overall, what a good wine! The price doesn't hurt either! Cheers! — 9 years ago

Smells whole bunch but actually de stemmed. Closed. A little early for all of these 2016s. Again great palate intensity. Latricieres is considered a lesser Grand Cru but a couple of years ago we had one made by Leroy which was a standout. Cherry and earthy notes with some sap on the silky palate. A good future in store as you would expect. Roscoe from Prince said that Le Moine is renowned for the typicity of the plots from where they source grapes - not just Chambertin. — 5 years ago

Really solid offering from Beaune. Still a hint tight but nothing a long decant will not solve. Nice acidity and hint of cherry showing through what I believe to be oak. Hubba! — 6 years ago
