Excellent and wide open after 45 minutes. Gorgeous clear citrus fruit and then a carpet bomb of mineral. Nice acid but not crazy high like this usually is. — 3 days ago

Solid, gritty and aromatic Fichots. Even in a forward vintage like 17 Fichots is still a bit closed at 8 years old. Needs 3-4 years as Fichots needs more time than any Pernand 1er Cru. — 10 days ago

Fantastic depth and wonderful citrus fruit. Superb length and inner mouth aromas but man is that nose muted. Even after hours and hours. Wait a decade. — 12 days ago

A rich but energetic Vaillons with some fat but good maybe decent acid and such freshness and energy. Delicious ripe minerality and an appealing lushness to it all. Nose is glorious seashells and some lime zest. — 5 days ago

Have not in around 4.5 years. Nose is rich, chocolatey and super mineral. Lovely spice and leaf decay. Palate is so rich and decadent with gorgeous fruit and a tiny berry fruit intensity. Terrific energy and sap. Great balance, freshness and some brooding but thoroughly ripe tannins. That old vine intensity is unmistakeable. Let’s see how this evolves. Really just terrific fruit on this. So sapid, concentrated and deep but also silky. — 8 days ago

Good. Lacking a bit of energy but seemed closed. Balanced and pure. — 10 days ago

Stunning nose. Super floral with compelling violets and gorgeous deep red berry fruit. So pure and so deep. Some unreal leather on the very high toned nose. Just so aromatic. Juicy and so clean with unreal vivacity and generous fruit and wonderful suppleness. So pure and elegant. So energetic and well made. Just perfectly ripe tannins and insane freshness and energy. — 6 days ago

GK. Stunning nose of honeyed peaches, melon, wild mint and a hint of petrol. Palate is so rich but super tense from the amazingly bright and vivid acids. Honeyed peaches and melon echo the aromas on the nose with rich layers and an icing on the cake texture. Terrific stuff. So fresh, so juicy and just invigorating. — 9 days ago

A good showing but not the best. The 22 laps this. Elegant and succulent with grip, depth and structure but seemed a bit thin compared to the 22. @Delectable Wine this is from Germany and not France. It’s from Franken. — 10 days ago
