By the glass at La Table de Olivier Nasti. Young but luminous. Just a brilliant wine and food wine. No formal notes. — 20 days ago

This bottle reminds me more of my first bottle. Ready to drink, pretty much pnp. Medium ruby colored. Not much on the nose. But nice black and blue fruit upfront, silky tannins, nice soft mouthfeel, mid palate of milk chocolate, light caramel, red licorice, lead pencil shavings. Really enjoyable. — 3 years ago

Coming from a hot vintage this wine was a bit more fruit forward than typical. Tar and cassis on the palette complemented the nose of a damp forrest floor. A nice albeit not great drink! — 4 years ago

Just perfect at this age. Rich and full-bodied Aglianico with no harsh tannins. Powerful nose of black pepper and earth. Strong leather and pepper palette. Perfect with steak. — 6 years ago

My 150th reviewed bottle of Champs! And what a bottle. Perhaps the best young Dom I’ve ever had? This is pretty darn stunning. The yeast is piled up well on the front of the nose but then immediately layered in with lemon, citrusy spritziness. Then in the background, sheep’s wool and herbal notes. The palette is immediately rich with a sweetness that is well balanced by the acid core. Tightly wound that will slowly reveal itself in the years to come. This is a fantastic wine. Finish is long and balanced with typical breadth of DomP. Lovely. 2008 just keeps on singing! — 7 years ago

2007 vintage poured on December 31, 2022. Dark in the glass, tannins have smoothed out and still strong raspberry and cherry on the palette. Paired with Beef Wellington and a green peppercorn sauce. Admittedly the sauce overpowered the wine. — 4 years ago

Blend of Merlot (62%) Cabernet Sauvignon (33%), Petite Verdot (3%) and Cabernet Franc (3%). Medium garnet color. Aromas of blueberry, mint, chocolate and orange zest. Palette features blueberry and black raspberry and hints of plum, vanilla, cedar and dark chocolate. Hint of chalk on the bright and velvety finish. Quite linear and lean. Nice acidity levels. — 3 years ago

Very nice, bright, light on the palette, and expertly restrained. Hard to justify the price though. I’ve had equally great wines for half the $$$. — 7 years ago
