9.1

Very first vintage, 1990, of what would become Olivia Brion. Savory, gamey, with piercing acidity. Hint of flowers on the mid-palate reminds you it's Pinot Noir. Still alive, but just hanging on. — 8 years ago

Bittersweet chocolate and raspberries. Loooooong finish. Better in three years or so, but SO GOOD now — 8 years ago

Fleshy for Produttori. Raspberry, anise, pencil lead. (Tar & roses goes without saying.) lovely. — 9 years ago

Bright and delicate on day one, dark and rich on day two. A lovely wine. — 8 years ago

9.3

Ripe and fruity with dried herbs and classic tar notes. Tannins are well in check. The most complete (right now) and ready to drink of the 2011 Produttoris I've had. Absolutely delicious. — 8 years ago

9.2

Spicy, decadent and lush, especially for Chambolle. Just about at the end of its drinking window. If you have any in your cellar: bottoms up! — 8 years ago

9.1

As expected: fleshy apples & exotic fruits with a stiff acid backbone and oh, so delicious. Still angular, but it will settle down in time. — 8 years ago

9.6

Spectacularly smooth mousse, yeasty, apples and acid all in gorgeous balance. Even better 10 years from now, I suspect. — 8 years ago

9.2

Drinking beautifully now. Ripe and rich. — 8 years ago

9.5

Raspberry liqueur, anise and black pepper. Oodles of oak, tastefully applied. — 9 years ago
