Low yields in Northern Rhône 2013, but the quality of the fruit is prevalent here. Structured and well-integrated fine grained tannins at the five year mark. The nose explodes out of the glass with finesse and doused complexities. Definitive Syrah nuances of black raspberries, black plums, black olives, fresh cut violets, cracked black pepper, Indian spices, grilled and smoked meats, and stone dust. Light weight but packs a continuous release of flavors. Nose and palate changes from fruit to floral to spicy to meaty. As you move to different areas and rooms the wine changes. The more air it gets, the more meat starts hanging out. Complex indeed for a $20 bottle. Great showing. — 8 years ago


31 August 2017. The Four Horsemen, Brooklyn, NY. — 9 years ago
Firstly the nose is driven by strong Sherry notes. Gets better & more harmonious with air. The Sherry turns into curry plant, fennel blended with hints of apricot & yellow stone fruit. Like a laser beam on the palate, very salty, vibrating and grasping. Long finish. — 9 years ago
Slow smooth attack. A cat burglar approach. Wide and weighty. Underage. Undertones of caramelized crust. Twisty finish leaves the richness behind for a surf. — 10 years ago
Superb nose, with excellent balance and length this Clos De La Roche from a not so D'Amour vintage knocked it out of the park! Drank straight from the bottle and would recommend you do likewise to preserve the aromatics — 10 years ago

A tremendous burgundy value at 14 bucks a bottle. Restraint and moderate acidity with the anticipated minerality content at the end. A steal. — 10 years ago
Day 2: black cherry cola and musty, slightly richer than on first pour. Fresh, red fruit, with firm acidity, and gentle old world undertones. Lacks overwhelming depth, but still comes across as a "good" Pinot. — 11 years ago

A pretty nose with some petrol notes. The tannins are still quite firm and there is plenty of black and red fruit. Med to med + length and med + complexity. A very nice #chambollemusigny #burgundy #pinotnoir #maisonrochedebellene #ctbucklinwine — 10 years ago
