Very nice. Plums, berries. Great to have stocked for an everyday wine or to pull out when friends come over. Had the 2015. — 8 years ago

Vintage 1949 in Burgundy according to Broadbent: “..most perfect end of a decade - elegant, well-balanced wines”; Clive Coates in his book Cote D'Or: "best vintage of 40's all-perfect beauty and purity”; Robert M. Parker Jr.: “it was the best of post world war II vintages before 1959”
Henri Leroy at that time was négociant based in Auxey-Duresses, his mythical daughter Lalou Bize-Leroy in 1949 was only seventeen.
Les Cazetiers is amongst the most elevated of Premier Cru site in Gevrey-Chambertin - and indeed the whole of Burgundy.
I drank this precious bottle on Mount Etna with #FrankCornelissen and other dear friends. Uncork this bottle lead to a surgical operation. Just begun to pull it out, a light breath of wine molecule with air bubbles magically have emerged on the surface of the cork. It's been like witness the passing away of a dying old man (or Pinot Noir must be a woman?) That humanized wine had held "élan vital", hope and breath inside him for the last 66 years! A miracle of a wine still so tasty, robust, citrusy, vibrant, earthy, incredibly alive and well-preserved despite color and neck level did not bode so well.. that's what I thought and I'll remember until I die: "the wine was waiting for us to drink it up, he gave off his mortal blow to offer us life, joy and smile!" — 10 years ago
Wines are a nexus of time, place, food, friends, mood, and opportunity. Not to mention their roots of vigneron, climate, and terroir. Tonight, post-flight, in a cool Baltimore area steakhouse, jazz licks flying, and a meal of tasty barbecued mushroom filet, this bottle lived up to its full potential with plush spicy ripe dark berries, decent acidity, mild smooth tannins, and comforting freshness. Happy Monday, Delectable Nation! — 8 years ago
Just right after a full day of Emerald Isle fishing. Dark red, hints of dark fruit with vanilla. Great with filet mignon, portobello mushroom and plantain. Two old friends sealed the deal. — 9 years ago
This is a quintessential Cab full bodied with nice tannins and a nice jammy feel in your mouth. Had it with friends and ate some Korean ribs Perfect! — 9 years ago
Tricked my non-adventurous friends into thinking this was a Sauvignon blanc. They were just excited it was a full liter! Simple yummy fruity-not-sweet porch pounder — 9 years ago
Smooth ... Oak .... Rich full body flavor... Can't wait to get together with our friends at lake and enjoy again — 10 years ago
Recommended by friends, this is a delicious, consistently good, economical full-bodied Cabernet. Great for entertaining and won't break the bank. One of the better Cabs I've had at this price. — 8 years ago
Fantastic wine!
Deep Ruby red. Incredibly aromatic with the nose evolving astoundingly over time. Make sure you follow its progress. Starting with lavender, dried violets and mint. Moving to a choc-mint and chutney and then cinnamon and mint. The palate also evolves with the nose. It lands with cooking chocolate, menthol and cooking spice with a full and luxurious mouth feel, surprisingly light tannins and mild acidity. It could probably pair slow cooked meets and root vegetables but I recommend you pair this wine only with good friends as an after dinner experience. — 9 years ago
Full body enjoyed with great friends and grilled Angus steaks al fresco. — 9 years ago
Full bodied and great with friends. Welcoming fall! — 10 years ago
The 2nd label of Buccella. Wine maker Celia Welch (Scarecrow) with another beautiful full can. Great balance of dark fruits, tannin, and a lingering finish. Where are my friends to enjoy this with me? — 10 years ago
