Nice nose after a couple hours, but super, super tight finish that never comes around. Seems like quality is buried in there however. Waiting 10 years for next bottle. Not worth the risk at this point — 7 years ago

1986 vintage with Andy and Jackson. What an absolute treat. Very tight at first. Allowed to rest for two hours and then the beauty showed herself. — 8 years ago

Still tight. Need to open ahead or decant. Aromas of cedar and graphite. Strong red fruit. Delicious with good finish. — 9 years ago

Drinks nicely, albeit too young. Love the nose - rose pedals, delicate and interesting. Too tight on the pallet - needs more time for the tannins to soften. — 9 years ago

Must remember to open Tigs and let it breathe a long time. Tight with a lot of earth then starts to bloom and because wonderfully complex. — 10 years ago

2001...like Houdini walking a tight rope between oxy and fresh. It's a bi-polar bottle, y'all. Certainly not a 2002, or even a 2000, but always the greatest expression of MdT. — 10 years ago

This is still so tight and wrapped up, yet already compelling in the glass. All the things- dark blue fruit, leather, meat, smoke, rocks, flowers. A great wine now, I can only imagine this in another few years. — 10 years ago

Showing age very well. Not a young tight lemon bomb by any means. — 11 years ago

Light and earthy, very drinkable for such a young 2014 vintage. Jeff says it is not too tight. — 7 years ago

Lovely Mouton still young and needs time to open up. Deep dark red, this iconic Bordeaux blend is rich elegant and tempting. Aromas of black current, chocolate, coffee, and spicy wood, all blend into a full bodied elegant rich wine, with lovely robust round tannins, splendid with layers of fruit and taste. Long chewy rich finish that stays with you almost 30 min after you finish your glass. The wine was still tight and needed time to open up, through a bit of sediments. My score 91, drink to 2024 — 9 years ago

Young Bonneau du Martray; just linear, oak though a big presence is layered, nose awfully restrained and fruit basically hidden until it evolves some more; try in a decade maybe two; so slight but so tight; acid tucked behind the wood too; an evolution to happen; great Corton; an even better site when I drove past this vineyard in May this year; #drinkFrance #drinkburgundy #côtedor #cortoncharlemagne #corton #bonneaudumartray #grandcru #domaine #2009 #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtours #France2016 — 10 years ago

1995 vintage. 60% Pinot and 40% Chardonnay. Very fresh, tight nose. Medium lemon. Mineral, iron and metallic nose. Ripe lemon, no oxygenation (no MLF as usual). On the palate, very balanced and lean. No richness and fine bubbles. Clean finish. Quite long. Very elegant. Not quite at the level of 2002, but lovely nonetheless. NB: with air, some morel and white truffle notes. — 10 years ago

Wow. A powerhouse that was sadly opened too young. Offensively tight but incredibly complex. -2006 — 10 years ago

Way too young, a bit tight & austere and one dimensional. Needs a lot of more time in the cellar (10-15 years) to really open up. — 11 years ago

Started with very subtle fruit and tight tannins surprisingly. After 30 minutes in the decanter the fruit was booming, the tanins settled and it was drinking perfect. Having with a dry aged porterhouse. Yes, burgundy with steak, it’s a thing. — 7 years ago

It was too young and overall very tight even with 5 hours of decanting. I think we opened this at an awkward time in its evolution. — 9 years ago

A little tight but beautiful, restrained tannins and nicely unified from top to bottom. Not a ton of depth, austere but not astringent as are many Barolos, especially at this age. Extremely pleasurable and dignified. One of my favorite Barolos. — 10 years ago

Immaculate. Cigar box, blueberry, kiss of acid and a helping of, still tight, tannins. Stunning. — 10 years ago

Better than the last bottle which was excellent. This one was amazing with fragrant sweet red fruit notes and a tight core. It won't last until tomorrow but would likely be better tomorrow. — 12 years ago
