Superb wine.
Had with interesting combo of asian spiced duck leg;cauliflower puree;spiced brussell sprouts and spicy orange sauce.
This helped to enhance the tropical characteristics and smoothnesss of the wine. — 6 years ago

Good Cote de Nuits Burgundy. A little alcohol on the nose. Starting to show well, but should carry on for a number of years, especially for a Village (old vines) wine. Very good with a leg of lamb and roasted potatoes. Served alongside the Les Roches, Chinon 2007, and was preferred by the men at the dinner. — 9 years ago

Rich, succulent and jammy with blackberry, dark fruits, cedar, licorice, leather, sweet tobacco/ cigar box . This complexity has a resounding finish filled with peppery spices! Unique old vine fruit intensity gives a memorable wine tasting experience! Prefer to drink it as an aperitif on a cold day, because of its richness, but would be excellent with roast leg of lamb!🍇🍷🌹 — 6 years ago

Smooth combination of fruits--especially cherries--perfectly softened by the oak... and it continued to improve as opened up. Still one of my favorite WS. — 8 years ago

Epic! Right in the sweet spot! absolute textbook G.C.C. that is perfect proof the 1855 is a joke! I sincerely hope it never gains the Unesco status some privileged Bordelais estates are hoping for, if this is considered 'fifth league'. Champagne & Burgundy bravo however! Truly deserving of their hard-fought Unesco world heritage status. — 9 years ago

Fifth of our seven year vertical tonight....Scratch that the 2014 came out too.

Deep ruby red. Lovely nose with floral spices, blackberries, aniseed and graphite. Medium plus tannins (7.5/10) a bit more than the previous vintages. Medium plus to full bodied. Notes of gravel, dark baking spices and black bramble berries. Long and lingering finish, a touch dry too. Drink till 2025. — 6 years ago

Kind of a intense nose with caramel, sweet condensed milk, dried red & dark berries and a bit of leather. Interesting at first but gets tiring after the fifth sniff. Good acidity & power, a bit spicy and definitely armed with a big portion American oak. Still very young, would be nice to see how this boy develops in 10-20 years. — 7 years ago

Simple and enjoyable. We do not need food for this. Refreshing rate is high with just the perfect amount of berries and LSD in my mouth. Pink wine with bubbles for this price is a novelty and just so barely acceptable even the bubbles and color do enough justice to just keep them coming...please more yes please thank you this balancing act is easy. — 9 years ago
