Domaine Jean Grivot
Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir 2005
I think we need to get some life and excitement to this app! Here we go. No idea when and where I bought this. Cork perfect. No seep at all. 13%. Tons of tannins - I mean it. Has another 5 years or so but not more at this stage as the fruit will go down. And after that this wine will go into ??!!! Seems highly extracted and dense. Crushed marble, more dark than red fruit. A little to extracted for me - still rustic. A big wine. In fact huge. Blackberry, leather, hint violet, cedar, violets, lime, 🍋🟩 . Dry Red Port wine, plums. a benchmark wine i thought initially. My wife hated it. I am not convinced in the end the wife might be right!!!!!!! Happy wife happy life. — 4 days ago

Meursault Les Narvaux Chardonnay 2023
Quite mineral driven and spritzy the first day. Mellowed out after 18 hours. Meyer lemon, yes i have these in my garden, jasmine on the back palate, and…. white peach. Again sadly 100$+. But i think folks should try these types of wines to know what quality white Burghs are about - and then give it a rest - if you are not hooked. — 4 days ago

Dry Estate Vineyard Riesling 2021
12%. Plenty of acid. Very well made. Honeyed nose. Classic 1,1,6-Trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene (TDN) well in place. I am actually going away from describing it as goût de pétrole. TDN is just easier. Beyond that meyer lemon and ??? white peach. At the Meritage in Encinitas. — 5 days ago

Another winner from this producer. Punches way above its league! Quite aromatic. Meyer lemon, hint elderberry, plenty of minerals, Touch Hazelnuts already. Very impressive. Drink now . — 3 days ago
