Le Grand Contrôle - Ducasse Year 2018 — 4 years ago
A lot going on the nose. Red fruit, black fruit, meat, leather. Would be a good wintertime wine. Too bad they’re sold out at Kermit Lynch. Devin gave it 💯 — 5 years ago

First trousseau ever. Very pleasant and great wine. Light and fruity. — 9 years ago
Old reliable. Always one of my favorite Rhones. Heavyish-medium body, heavy fruit, medium tannin, great food complement, mouthy. Even drinks well alone & is friendly enough not to overpower cheese or light hors d'oeuvre. — 10 years ago
Smoke & earth on the nose. Ripe red & black fruit held in check by bright acidity. Grainy tannins — 11 years ago
Late dinner in Paris. Smooth and delicious. — 3 years ago
Classic chambolle. Elegance is the word! Complex and clean nose with red currant, cherry, roses and primordial earthiness. On the palate, seductive elegance with a silky texture and feather like mouthfeel and outstanding linearity. It slowly peels away the complexity with layers of red fruits, roses and the classic limestone undertones. Borniques is biodynamically farmed with winemaking synched with lunar cycles on a small parcel of 1.4 ha situated right above the famous ‘Les Amoureuses’ with vines planted almost on the rock. It explains the very linear structure. The tannins, acidity and alcohol were in brilliant harmony with a finish where the dance continues for well over 2 mins. I loved this and it reminded me why Chambolle-Musigny is one of my absolute favorite villages in Burgundy. — 5 years ago

2014. Not the most expressive of Puffeney I've enjoyed. — 8 years ago
The 1990 was unbelievable with a burnt orange fruit forward wine with tannins that still persisted — 9 years ago
96 points? No way. Fine village wine with clean 2010 fruit. Great for its pedigree. Happy to drink it. — 11 years ago
More voluptuous than typical for variety — 13 years ago

$45 bottle; was much lighter than other CdP, more like a Pinot. — 7 years ago
Whoa nelly. So glad to have found this in the back of the fridge. Oxidation folded in; an old cheese of a wine. And bright. Friend of Indian food! — 8 years ago
