Clos Prieur Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2023

8.9

Not really memorable. No formal notes. Typically I like this producer as he is still reasonable in price. But this rendition did not convince. — 7 days ago

Picked up two cases worth of 2023 1/2 bottles from this producer last week...one case of Gevrey Champonnet, and 6 btls apiece of Gevrey Estournelles and Gevrey Lavaut/St. Jacques. Pricing was, as you said, reasonable, and, unless mistaken, 1er Cru juice.

These are a step up and i am sure they will be good.

Les Hauts Pruliers Nuits St. Georges Pinot Noir 2020

Roberto Carli

9.4

Good tipicity. Lots of concentrated ripe red and black fruit, but between the hint of barnyard, good oak integration, lower alcohol and elegant body it’s very well restrained and enjoyable. Maybe a bit rustic but very well done — a year ago

Brouilly Beaujolais 2006

9.3

These old Brouilly are really incredible! Intense notes of peppery wild strawberries, truffle evolution, undergrowth, dried flowers, blood orange.. the finish is persistent, like the fragrances of a perfume, intertwining fine tannins and endless acidity veins, with light bitters welcome.

Ces vieux Brouilly sont vraiment incroyables! Notes intenses de fraises de bois poivrées, évolution truffe, sous-bois, fleurs séchées, orange sanguine.. la finale est rémanente, tel les fragrances d’un parfum, entrelaçants tanins fins et nervures d’acidité sans fin, avec de légers amers bienvenus. — 3 years ago

Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2022

Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego

9.2

2022 vintage. Medium body. Decanted and tasted after 30 minutes. Bright nose and flavors. Too bright. Needs a solid half-decade to settle in, settle down and leave the night life behind. Could see the ceiling on this as a 9.4 in a decade+. 05.23.25. — 5 months ago

9.1

This keeps impressing, easily comparable to Trimach Cuvee Frederic Emile. Heavy petrol with citrus, but not as much complexity as other Aussie Rieslings. Nice finish but not particularly lengthy. — 2 years ago
