Some Young Punks

Bernard Levet

La Chavaroche Côte-Rôtie Syrah

Beef jerky, black olive, leather, tobacco, blueberry. Is very young, but should be amazing with some additional time in the bottle. So beefy now. — 9 years ago

Estate Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2010

Light oak. Stone fruits. Young. Revisited this 3/21. Much better. Some nice weight to this. Definitely stronger hints of peach. Still very fresh and crisp. — 10 years ago

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

Échézeaux Pinot Noir 1999

1999 DRC Echezaux. Decanted for almost 2 hours while we grilled some lamb chops and got dinner ready. Could've been decanted a full day. It was funky and weird to start- the minerality was acidic and unbalanced, and it didn't really open up until another hour in the glass. After dinner was over, the wine started coming around. The last glass was much better- the fruit had come around and the minerality was more subdued. Definitely young to drink, but was still a major treat that we thoroughly enjoyed. K was a little disappointed in how it showed, as other young DRCs we'd had recently had been quite pleasant. — 10 years ago

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia

Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia Bolgheri Rosso Merlot Blend 2006

Too young and not giving up much right now. Lots of potential but some red fruits and wood most prevalent. — 10 years ago

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

Hermitage Syrah 2001

2001 vintage. Lovely youthful notes here. Still way too young. Plummy and mixed berries, some smokey oak, mulberries. On the palate, medium body, tannins are well integrated, hints of black pepper and nutmeg. White chocolate. Yummy despite its youthfulness. Open in 2025. — 10 years ago
