The 1990 Richebourg was bursting with aromas just half an hour after opening—violet, wild cherry, dried rose, and sandalwood. The tannins were silky, yet the structure remained intact. An excellent bottle.

The 2002 Richebourg, after four hours of decanting, revealed stunningly delicate notes of face powder—extremely fine.

The 2005 RSV (Romanée-Saint-Vivant) showed creamy aromas right after opening, followed by the classic, captivating powdery perfume typical of a warm vintage. However, compared to the one from Méo-Camuzet, the DRC's powdery note carried a more grand and graceful presence. — 3 months ago

Dark rubi robe with some transparency. Very reticent nose of dark fruits, blackcurrant. Big bodied, masculine, dense, top soil and saline, very very long in the mouth. Gotta be the best Clos Vougeot we had in so many years. It’s very approachable now but its probably better to keep it another 6 or 7 years. At year 20 will be a royal experience. — a month ago

Emmanuel Rouget 2014 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cros Parantoux

A wine from the nephew of the Wine God (Henri Jayer). This is my first time trying this domaine. In my view, Méo-Camuzet’s Cros Parantoux leans more feminine and delicate, while Emmanuel Rouget’s style is more like “a sea of stars and a sky of galaxies”—more structural, more spirited, with an air of chivalrous boldness.

2014 should be a relatively approachable vintage, but indeed the first glass showed very tight tannins, vibrant and layered acidity, a pronounced herbaceous/green note, earthy minerality, very fresh and natural, with a bright and clean quality. The structure wasn’t broad or massive, but rather deeply intricate, precise, and penetrating.

After 1 hour of aeration, wild strawberry emerged, along with a mineral sense of wet earth after rain in the forest. Floral notes were not yet obvious; I looked forward to its further evolution.

After 2 hours open, the nose was no longer about thick jammy fruit, but a mix of different spices—like scattered starlight in a river of stars: cool, shimmering, accompanied by rose petals, wild strawberries, and the cool limestone minerality. The aromas don’t hit you head‑on but slowly unfold in the nasal cavity like the Milky Way. Once fully opened, I experienced its signature “silver bead of acidity.” The tannins are incredibly fine, like velvet, and the wine floats on the tip of the tongue—not heavy, but like silk gliding across the night sky. That concentrated mineral energy strikes the palate instantly, then dissolves into a long, lingering finish. The aftertaste lasts for tens of seconds, carrying notes of sandalwood, dried tangerine peel, and damp earth.

Half‑drunk, I felt as if I were drifting into a dream beneath the starry river. — 10 days ago

A small holding of ancient vines within old stone walls and near Faiveley’s Clos des Cortons. Reasonably light for a Grand Cru. A light to medium weight palate but with Medium + intensity. Spice, Plum and earthy notes. I disagree with Burghound’s assessment of being a big wine. I found it to be light. It did have silky tannins but overall somewhat disappointing. Certainly from a prestigious producer. I have had better experiences with Faiveley’s Clos des Cortons (see notes on Delectable). — 8 months ago

Medium rubi robe, nose of blackberries, anise, crushed flowers and a peppery note at the end. Its very smooth and mineral, medium bodied, great tension, long, asian spices, dark cherries and top soil, this is a top notch wine and very distinctive for the vintage. Great now but no rush. — a month 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
