Les Boutières Aloxe-Corton Pinot Noir 2014

Lyle Fass
9.3

Aloxe Corton continues to be massively underrated. Gorgeously deep and refined aromas of Black cherry, spice and some hints of oak being absorbed. Palate is complex and structured like this cuvee normally is but with so much fruit, complexity and spice. Incredible palate presence and much density and sweetness. This needs and hour but then is a terrific terrific value. Will age for 10-12 years easy. — 7 years ago

Exuberant nose of spice, cherry cough drop, wood shavings, sour cherry. Very aromatic. Round, sappy and juicy with nice balance and freshnes. Clean and mineral finish redolent of spices and red cherries. Nice suave tannins. Showing very well. Terrific balance. — 8 years ago

Ladoix Pinot Noir 2014

Lyle Fass
9.2

This is the vintage Xavier really got going. Lovely nose of spice and mineral. Big candies cherries and some sour cherries as well. Palate is soft and elegant with huge fruit. Sappy and spicey with lovely freshness. Good mouthfeel and terrific value. Needs maybe 15 minutes and then raring to go. Terrific sweetness of fruit smothered with spice. — 7 years ago

Syrah 2016

Graphite, black peppercorn, and deep dark fruit note on the nose. After opening, a definite barnyard note with fruit undertones. A very different type of syrah, unadulterated and no tricks in the making of it. Quite nice! — 5 years ago
