Wow. Absolutely stunning tonight. So generous and giving after hardly any aeration, 2000 Angelus wafts from the glass and the decanter with explosive aromatics of blackberry jam, creme de cassis, cigar box and damp earth. It has the most perfect balance of deep fruit intensity and tertiary character, and the palate shows an incredible combination of finesse, density and lift, with a regal mouthfeel and melting tannins. Just stays with you forever. A masterful seesaw between power and elegance. For my tastes, this is in the perfect spot. Fabulous. — 5 days ago

Bottle two…and delightful… juicy, ripe Bartlett Pear and Golden Delicious apple with a balanced complexity that just keeps pumping out the flavor. Getting harder to source but still one of my preferred house pours. Playoff football, simple oven roasted chicken breasts, Amish noodles dripping in chicken jus, and honey basted carrots…pure winter comfort supper. Go Chiefs! — 10 days ago

From Magnum. Also gorgeous. A bit more linear than the 2012 Henri Boillot Meursault 1er Genevrieres. — 11 days ago

What was lacking in aromatics came through on the palate. So pretty and light on its feet. — 9 days ago

This bottle is a half bottle released from the Chateau in 2022. It show some development already with a complex spicy nose. Medium bodied with dark fruits, truffle, dry finish and a good posture. This has a old world grace but this vintage makes it harder to justify the price tag. — 9 days ago

Nice young yellow canary color. Heavy in the glass. Tropical nose with notes of sea breeze, lemon, kiwi, white stones and tan spice. Glycerol and rich in the mouth. California like, but with nice Chablis nuances. I wonder how this will evolve over next 10 years. Maybe like 92’s? — 16 days ago

Beautiful, poised. Very Raveneau. A calm nose with soft lemon, slate, some marine notes. Secondary notes showing through now- a little peach, some light spice too — 11 days ago

Nose: lovely but indistinct at this point.

Palate : complex. Some hints of oak but ok. Dense blackberry. Some chocolate. — 13 days ago
