9.4

2015 vintage. Decanted (a little sed) and tasted after one hour. Medium heavy body. Some chunkiness in play with the famous Eisele Vineyard power consistently pushing forwards with zero letup/flagging. Slightly less complexity than anticipated based on a few visits over the years and the one hour open/decant boundary. Maybe it would have improved slightly but do not feel the presentation of flavors would have necessarily been more attractive down the road. Based on this effort, would probably look to hit again in 2030. 12.28.25. — 6 days ago

8.8

1992 vintage. Decent fill and decent cork Opened with a Durand and decanted. Sed a bit less than expected. Dirty and feral nose with "the funk" initially post-decant. Ambled around to taste 1 hour after decanting. Light body. More than a bit watery front and mid-palate and it never improved upon that. Only interest was on the back end with secondary and tertiary flavors. A tad tired and on the wrong side of the mountain uphill. Drink 'em if ya got 'em-even in large format. 12.25.25. — 9 days ago

9.4

2019 vintage. Don’t come across this producer often but this example is firing on all cylinders currently. Not as oaky as many C-M’s and truly in a great spot now. No rush to crush with exceptional balance. Unfortunately, last bottle. Will see if I can rummage around and drum up a few more bottles. 1.2.26. — a day ago

2022 vintage. Trader Joe's affordable special. Light/medium body. Decent and crushable. No guitar hero highlights but no sharp edges either. 12.25.25. — 9 days ago

9.2

2022 vintage. First off, don't like the label change. Secondly, white Burg pricing with Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet ridiculous now so branching out necessary and essential. Thirdly, this swings. Medium bod. Slightly golden. Slightly mineral. Unexpected balance. For the price, delivers more than expected and more than some of the aforementioned Burgundy areas. 12.25.25. — 9 days ago

9.3

2023 vintage. From a 375ml bottle. Fairly fruity off the bat and medium/medium-heavy body. Came back to revisit after an hour and mouthfeel dropped down to medium body with expansive tea and earth flavors. Nice 1st impressions. 12.28.25. — 6 days ago

9.2

2019 vintage. Last tasted 11.6.23 (9.3.) and 2.23.23 (9.0). PNP and tasted after 3 mins and 30 minutes. Medium body. Forward cherry and plum throughout. Mid-palate and back end spices started to show up after a spell. Reticent tannins initially but they started to wake up at the half hour mark. Coulda used an aerating decant but was lazy. The nice price for just above entry-level Margaux and three cases left so we’ll have it a while. Suspect it would have garnered a 9.3 with that decant. 12.27.25 — 7 days ago

9.2

1988 vintage. Good fill, good cork. Opened with a Durand and decanted. Tasted after two hours. Those initial, futile attempts at being masculine but ultimately feminine. Exemplary stuffing with enough of an outline to carry this wine another 5-6 years in this stead. Light-medium body with a decently traceable finish. Better than expected. 12.25.25. — 9 days ago
