Château Haut-Bailly

Pessac-Léognan Grand Cru Classé Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

Medium ruby garnet , quite thin garnet rim . Quite open and inviting tobacco , red plum , cassis , earthy hints . On the palate this has good balance and a mineral , herbal hints, along with the mix of red and dark fruits . This has good fresh acidity and grippy but polished tannin . Good length and is showing quite well . Better in 5 or so years and will last well a further 10 . At Vinous Icons NY , Pier 60 , Feb 2025 — a month ago

Les Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2010

When I taste a wine like this my first reaction is why am I not drinking more Chablis. Opened and the race was on. The quintessential grand cru Chablis. Never stopped putting on weight and complexity . Plenty of life ahead — 3 months ago

Château Pavie

Saint-Èmilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

Blend of 60% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc, deep Ruby purple color with aromas of ripe berry fruits, cedar, floral and earthy spice notes. On the palate flavors of blueberry, plums and blackberry with vanilla, licorice, tobacco, espresso and toasty oak notes. Long rich finish on fine ripe tannins, will age very well, can start to drink now, but should wait a decade or more. Very Nice! — a month ago

Domaine Georges Roumier

Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1972

A little darker cherry than the 1971, a little weightier,,and showing a little more fruit, pretty good but lacking the ethereal quality of the 1971. It also fell apart faster than I’d like. — 2 months ago

Comte Armand

Clos des Epeneaux Monopole Pommard 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2005

At 20 years top wines needs to be in a good place. Not a fan of 20+ aging - for reds. AND? Excellent cork. Some oxidation. Brown tinge. Plenty of tannins left - give it 10 min at least!!! Tobacco, plums, peaches? Rust. Touch orange juice. Hint oregano. Really coats your mouth. Incredibly mellowed out. Plenty of acid. COMPLEX. A little rustic - not elegant but bold and big. This is what Pommard should be classic. World class for Pommard. To keep this longer would be nuts - drink up! What a wine! — a month ago
