1937 Jean Bourdy Chateau Chalon. Amazingly vivid and fresh will all aged components covered. Candied citrus, dito apples, crème brûlée and chalky soil elements are all highlighted by oriental spice and dried herbaceous additions. Full flavors yet elegant and boasting tremendous length, it's astonishing that these grapes were harvested 78 years ago. — 10 years ago

Very fizzy and live. Good aroma of white flower, honey, oriental medicine, anis, Belgian beer? But not at all sweet. Like it!

The 2009 has yet to hit its stride yet. Oriental rug, tomato leaf, and deep red fruit on the nose. Fine-grained tannins and sour cherries follow on the palate. A very good acidity, too. — 10 years ago

Tar and dried rose petal with dried red cherry exotic Oriental spice and truffle really opened up after an hour in the glass. Still a bit tannic with pretty nuance and spice very fresh needs another 10 years tar and truffle notes the essence of ginestra. Finish 50+ most excellent — 12 years ago

Youthful but already giving a lot, this is the greatest Baracca produced so far, and likely ever. Astonishing aromatic complexity on the nose where grilled Meyer lemons, honey dew melon, autumn pear and papaya fruit are complemented by oriental spice, loads of greenish herbs and wet chalky soil additions. On the palate, it wraps you in a luxury cashmere blanket where hints of barrel tannins add depth to the lush, perfectly ripe lemons and juicy green apple flavors, expanding in a rarely seen fashion. Multi-layered and crazy long, this sets a new standard not only for Miani and the region as such, but also for the variety, as this sort of complexity arrives very seldom and when it does, it usually addresses Burgundy's finest Crus. Amazing length bringing freshly squeezed lemon juice and chalky spice,, adding lift and sincere interest. Surpassing any Chardonnay in my life, so far. 100 p. — 10 years ago

Powerful, pungent and sweetly scented aromas, including ripe peach, oriental spices and Red Light District perfume, this is a large-scaled wine. Impressive on the palate, yet its lowish acidity shortens the rich flavors on the finish. — 10 years ago

As good as Nebbiolo gets, showcasing a potpourri of fruit, flowers, chalky minerals, oriental spice additions and fantastic tannins and juicy acidity. Sophisticated and powerful at the same time. I could drink this on a daily basis. — 11 years ago

본 로마네....마을단위급. 특유의 oriental soicy하다고 아톰님이 언급. 아직 초보인 나는 향이 특이하다고 느꼈다. 그 향이 오리엔탈 스파이시... 본로마네 특유의 향이라한다. Biodynamic 경작 특유라고... 아직 어린티가 난다고할까 산도가 충분하였으며. 프루티. 생각보다 묵직한 느낌이였다.

아직 많은 경험이 없어 그 좋은 정도를 가늠하기 힘들었다. 이를 기준으로 더 마셔봐야겠다. — 10 years ago

True prep for my IPO seminars at the Aspen Classic: kind buddy brings Bryant Family ’01. Cork shatters, no coffee filters available, but kitchen strainer rescues. Glorious wine: oriental spiced nose, cashmere texture. Has many years of life left. — 10 years ago

Medium burgundy in color, smell of raspberry, red fruits, and oriental spice, a little too much acidity for my palate, medium body. — 10 years ago

Just amazing. This grand version combine the spicy, peppery edge of CF with the generous, oriental spice and ripe plum additions associated with Merlot. Perfectly judged oak and chalky minerality linger on the intense finish. Thru 2030. 97 points. — 11 years ago
