Haven’t had in ages. Gorgeous nose with some gras, lime zest, seashells, sea air and some of the obvious richness of the vintage. Palate is wonderful. Zippy with terrific acids and great cut. Concentrated and classic. Sappy and pure with great balance, freshness and minerality. Pure as the driven snow. Nice smokiness develops with air. — a day ago

Nose has brioche, baking spices and minerals and also some creamy custard. Very nice. Palate has great acidity and freshness and just the right balance of acid and creaminess. Terrific presence, length and thrust. Juicy stone fruits and such persistence. Very impressive wine. Really picked up more body and impressive finesse with air. — 3 days ago

Gorgeous, enveloping nose. Stunning mid season cherry and mega florals. Cherry flower. So open. 9.4 nose. Really compelling. Palate is just terrific. Classic banger from Boussey in 19. Really seductive and tons of sweet fruit but cut, grip, mineral and complexity add so much. This and the Toiseres have so much character. Tremendous wines and values. These are my favorite wines in Burgundy. Elite little wines. — 7 days ago

Very good showing but not the best for me. 13/07 are hard to beat but with age these seem to defy it all so we will see in time. — 8 days ago

Man that nose is ethereal. Just unreal. Tar, super floral roses with a dash of some dark red (burgundy) roses but more classic red mostly. But the ethereal level of this wine’s aromas are really compelling. Stunningly presented red cherry fruit with a leafy edge. Wow. Chestnut and spice and mindnumbingly complex. A 9.8 nose. Palate is satin. Perfect satin. Ungodly juicy and delicate with brilliant sweetness and sap. Nimble as a Ferrari with awesome purity and just such a delicate presence. But also sweet. Screams Chambolle. The elegance is off the charts. Structured but wrapped in satin. Also minerals galore on the finish. This has it all. — 2 days ago

Gorgeous nose of smoke, granite, blackberries, pottery, herbs, leather and some red berries as well. Very complex and expressive. Palate is round and juicy with terrific concentration and velvety tannins. Bright blueberry and blackberry fruit and a firm granite spine behind it all. Excellent purity and depth. Just a terrific showing. Long. Big and ripe tannins. They are so juicy. Amazing length here. Can go many more years but terrific today. Black olives now rise up with air. — 4 days ago

Truly in the zone. After 1 hour was glorious. Rich, deep, stunningly aromatic and terrific opulence and freshness on the palate. Terrific length. An insane value in 2016. Crazy aromas after time. — 8 days ago

What a wine. Terrific nose of citrus fruits, spice and stone fruits. Lots of tangelo and peach. Huge minerals looming. Wow the aromas are magic after 9 years of age. 9.6 nose. So clean. Almost a lanolin like thing as well. Palate is so pure and balanced. Great concentration and sap with huge minerals and lots of fleshy tangelo and peach but finishes super mineral and dry. Very complex and still has great structure. Brilliant stuff and has at least 10 years ahead of it. — 3 days ago

As authentic and old school as it gets. Nose is cassis, wild herbs, dusty tweed, a graves vibe almost, so earthy, I love it. Palate is juicy and clean with the classic Gamot rustic edge. Gorgeous, clearly defined red and purple fruits surrounded with dry earth and leather. Elegant and complex with a firm structure and outstanding length. A great bottle.

This went from 9.5 to 9.6 on day. Gained an irresistible creaminess and didn’t lose any edge. Got more elegant. This is world class wine.

This is in the good place. Oak but so well integrated. Rich, buttery and evocative. Gorgeous depth and salinity adds complexity. Outrageous. Palate is nervy, tense and opulent but with razor sharp acids and lovely complex intense minerality. Boussey is a gem. Closed a bit on the finish but will spread its wings with air. A very outstanding bottle. The finish is expanding and this wine has a serious core and very long finish. Great concentration. — 7 days ago
