Really cool stuff. Barrel fermented and aged. Remind me of some oxidative natural Loire Sav Blanc but with riper fruit here. I know current release has semillon and I kind of got some of that character here, but label just says Sav Blanc. Kept coming back to it over the night. — 9 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

Det här var gott och även det roligaste jag hittade på bolis i Eksjö. Druvig, blommig doft - galiamelon. Frisk syra, gråpäron, limezest, petroleum och lite mineral i munnen. Inga konstigheter. Perfekt sommarvin när man står vid grillen o fixar. Ynka 11.5% alkohol. Dvs slankt och aptitretande. Fan va gott d e med riesling. — 9 years ago

This one is lighter on the acid than many sub $10 wines but for only $3.... Including tax. Decent flavor. Not complex at all and good to drink right from the bottle. More complexity and flavor than boxed wines and richer too. If you like $2/$3 buck chuck then give this one a try. Not at all sorry I bought it. *update* just ate a pack of oloves olives (basil garlic) with this wind and man o man did it jump the flavor up a ton. Seems like the pairing this wine is capable of is geared towards more vinegar-ish food. Basil and and garlic complement it well too. — 10 years ago

Tipping the scales across the board, with high %, high acidity, high tannins and massive fruit, framed by loads of toasty oak. Elegant? No. Will I buy again? No. Impressive? Yes. — 10 years ago

Remembering Aldo Conterno's love of Piemonte, his stories and laugh--and 1950s American English. He served in the Korean War. A great wine from a great man. — 11 years ago

Man o man, I'm loving these southern French grapes. This CA take is great. Melon, some minerality, food friendly acidity...great in the mouth.

This man has the touch! Nimrod, this is made from 13 varietals mostly from Hungary. Spain and Portugal. It is superb. Smooth, very fruity but dry finish. Best we have tasted. Equal to yours. Learn about the Turks and Hungarian war at a famous castle. Truly a wonderful exquisite find. — 11 years ago
