What a wine. It is absolutely approachable and lovely right now but clearly. Wine that would benefit from another ten years if cellaring. Red fruit, long finish, satiny, full bodied. Wait but too good to wait. — 4 years ago
The 2nd of 4 Grand Crus from Morey Saint Denis. Colour of deep Ruby - darker than the Lambrays. Quite a rich palate of M+ intensity. Great mouthfeel. At this point I wrote in my notes “ getting to the point of sensory overload. Let me tell you that 2016 is a great vintage for Red Burgundy “. A wonderful Clos de la Roche”. Worth purchasing as it is always better value than the Ponsot Clos de la Roche. — 4 years ago
Following an ‘04 Ponsot this stood out as a sore thumb.
I had double-decanted this for 8 hours and it still wasn’t enough.
Insanely concentrated and almost Rhone-like.
I’ll try to stash away a few bottles for the long haul (read: 20+ years) but honestly don’t think I’ll ever live to see this at peak. — 6 years ago
Third 90 Ponsot bottle served blind. This is bright tawny and translucent. When compared to the CSD served before it, this is more masculine with a dark cherry nose that is tight for the first 4-5 hours. By the time it’s served, though, it’s opened up and comes on as a rich and very powerful glass of juice. In addition to the regular notes of bing cherry, dark earth and rhubarb, this adds some mocha and a little cherry cola as well. Has a Rousseau-like precision in its delivery. From where it started to where it ended ~9 hours after opening, this evolved and improved the most. Great experience! (Bday 8 of 12) — 3 years ago

Couleur translucide ici aussi. Au nez ressemble assez au Roumier mais avec plus de fraicheur avec des notes de cerises et fraises, me faisant penser à une sorte de bonbon et aussi de la rose. L’acidité
est bien dosée et le vin a une bonne longueur.

Truly satisfying and worthy of that classic Burgundian oaked finish. Standout! — 4 years ago
Terrific Savigny. Rich ripe red fruit, plenty of backbone... even this 2015 could use some time in bottle, but with air time it’s delicious now. Almandine with herbs and baking spices, this is the real deal. Love the fancy enclosure ala Ponsot. — 6 years ago

Fourth of four 90 Ponsot bottles served blind for the boyz. A rather rare bottle I’ve learned since Ponsot stopped making it in 93. Tawny color, translucent. High-pitched nose. Notes of bing cherries, flowers, Asian spice, plums and some meaty thing like beef jerky. Linear and angular in this mouth feel. Great balance of fruit and structure. Tannins fully integrated. This is really really good. (Bday 9 of 12) — 3 years ago
