Very pale pink. Toasty notes with some sharp and bright fruit. With my eyes closed I wouldn’t have known it was a rosé. — 8 months ago
Classic right bank notes, with dark berries and tobacco, mature and ready to drink. Classic old Bordeaux — 5 years ago
Solid Cab Franc. Vinoteca. — 8 years ago
Cuvee of Merlot and Cabernet Franc (possibly with some Malbec and/or Petit Verdot)
Mature brownish red garnet. Transparent but youthful for its age.
Classic claret perfume from the first second of opening and kept getting better as the night went on. Truffle, shiitake mushroom, old leather, potpourri.
Complete integration with no sign of stumbling over the hill. Bright red fruit, smoky cedar, earthy soil tone, cooking spices. The mouthfeel is supple and elegant, no excess or pretension. Clean and fully mature.
A birthday bottle opened for by a dear friend and a reason why I am so devoted to this wonderful journey. Last long in memory. 92. — 9 years ago
2009 vintage. Completely unfamiliar with this producer (which I love new producers). Opened but not decanted. Age appropriate color. Variety of tea scents in the nose muddled with a modicum of drought dirt/earth. Light body. Tasted 20 minutes and 1.5 hours after opening. Total transference of the nose into the flavor profile-no surprises. Wine seemed to gain more strength/concentration of finish and dirtied up a tad but not more body or complexities. Doubtful another hour open/more air would have unlocked an achievement or improved the standing in the community. Will say it was a pleasure tasting a Vosne-Romanée vineyard with some age on it that was on the lighter side of the ledger vs the usual super intense. 11.28.25. — 7 months ago
