As Rhône or Nôwhere 2.0 concluded, our heads were spinning. Spinning not only due to the consumption but from the out-of-this-world lineup. As we tried to gather ourselves, a bottle of 2011 DRC Romanée St. Vivant was generously opened to toast the evening’s frivolities. I mean, wow. The 2011 R-S-V pours a bright but deep ruby with no signs of age. It’s dark fruited and slightly green, probably still needing another decade+ to flesh out. There is some beautiful use of oak with gorgeous baking spices. Way more closed than the 2011 DRC Echezeaux we enjoyed a couple years back. Clearly amazing. Clearly a baby still. Afterwards, a friend with more experience than (in respects to DRC) mentioned that Echezeaux usually shows well when young while R-S-V typically needs the most time. Something that I’ll keep in mind. To my palate, this will be best after 2030 and should be excellent through 2050+. It’s got that kind of guts and balance.

1989 vintage. Great fill, good (slightly dryish) cork. Decanted and tasted over the course of 3 hours. Great, "silvery" color. Vibrant and youthful nose. Medium body (in 2023?!?!). Ridiculously (and totally unexpectedly) "plushy" mouthfeel. Total unicorn. 1989 was a really nice vintage but not a must have like 2009-2010, 1999 or 1990. Richness dropped a little on the finish but not the concentration. Quality of the producer, juice, place and vintage all shone through during the experience. Based on this bottle, this can bushwack through the next 10-12 years without worry. No rush to crush. Love the ancient price tags.12.9.23. — 5 months ago

A very pretty nose. Violets, wild strawberry, minerality. Very supple and pretty. A little lacking in the middle. — 7 months ago

To celebrate my 9,000 reviews on vivino, here is a beautiful Pinot Noir.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Strong fruity nose with bing cherries, raspberries, sweet strawberries, spices, oak, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, earth and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry and fruity on the palate with blueberries, black cherries, light earth, herbs, spices, vanilla, cedar, black pepper, light cola, dark coffee and licorice. black pepper.

Medium plus in finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This Pinot Noir from Burgundy is already drinking very nicely, but still extremely young. Well balanced and smooth with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

I had it blind right out of the bottle. That was a nice surprise. I called 2018 Burgundy Pinot Noir, but I did not see this kind of bottle coming... What a great experience to blind taste such an iconic wine.

There is always an aura when drinking these kind of wines, but drinking them blind, gives you a perspective that might be missed otherwise.

Needed 2 hours in the decanter to open up properly, and bring more complexity. Much better once it opens up.

I had an older vintage of this wine a year ago, and it is such a different wine. Will continue to age nicely in the next 30 to 40 years.

From a good looking bottle, decanted for 2 hrs. Dark scarlet, almost opaque. Awesome perfumed nose. Notes of red fruit, black cherries, Asian spice, some menthol and some moist dark soil. Silky in the mouth. After a few hours the aromatics quieted down. Better showing tonight than the last bottle in 2020. — 2 years ago

Lots of years ahead. It improved as the night went on. No longer garnet at the edges, but still with structure from the mellow tannins. Raspberry and leather with a long finish. — 8 months ago

Plum, tannins completely integrated. This wine was super tannic when it came first in the market but they have mellowed completely. The wine is sweet. — 3 years ago
