Just a brilliant wine. Nose is peach, blood orange, slate and some spice. Gorgeous, clear aromas. Palate is rich, ripe and sweet but teeming with energy and sapidity. Gorgeous texture and purity. A bit closed on the finish after a few hours but so classy and delicious. — 2 days ago

Just awesome. Insane spice and mulberry on the nose along with oolong tea and a suave, sleek, stunningly textured palate with silky tannins and unreal clarity of fruit. Just delicious. Unbelievably lush today with gorgeous cranberry fruit and a sweet bitter note that fleshes out with acidity all the way in your lower back gums. Gorgeous texture. Haunting. Like 50’s Volnay 1er Cru. — 6 days ago

Just amazing. Super elegant and I mean crazy elegant. Nose of sweet spices, apricots, confectionary aromas, some vulcanized rubber and slate. Palate is just amazingly elegant, perfectly juicy and such insane balance between sweetness from sugar, sweetness from fruit, juiciness of the fruit and that dry slatey, somewhat savory finish. A 4 act play. — 13 days ago

This is outrageous. Huge, complex nose that is like a seashell maelstrom whipping on a beach. So Chablis. Deep green apple and just stunning aromatic clarity. The class of Les Clos really is remarkable here. 9.8 nose. The palate is just brilliantly etched. Remarkable purity, salinity and such finesse: Just a smile but with one tear. Grippy and textured. And my goodness this is long. Eternal. — 3 days ago

One of the most mindnumblingly brilliant village wines ever. So luscious and stoney with top finesse. Generous but fresh. Gorgeous mid season red fruits. Stoney, meaty, black cherry, red cherry nose. Just awesome. — 15 days ago

I have not had in 6 years. Nose is gorgeous and brambly with huge sous bois, tiny whiff of oak, stunning spice and stoned along with some nice florals. Palate is a bit closed but super silky and not “tannin closed” like it was 6 years ago. Unreal fruit clarity and length. Air will help but great guts so far. Really classed up overnight. 9.5 to 9.6. So elegant and deep. Insanely clear fruit. — 4 days ago

Showing so well. Unreal nose of black cherry and black raspberry. Plus a lipstick like intensity. Palate has tons of sweet cherry fruit and an earthy baseline. Terrific inner mouth aromas and velvety, sweet but substantial tannins. Now some lovely Volnay finesse coming through. Score may go higher. — 11 days ago

This is so good. Cooking now but more notes soon. It’s got this uncanny elegance on the palate plus this unreal concentration of sweet oak, minerals and fleshy fruit but backed up by ripping acids. Buttery Meursault but elevated beyond. — 17 days ago
