I don’t drink much Bordeaux but this 2001 reminded me what all the fuss is about. Fruit was dialed back and tertiary flavors of old books and tobacco emerged. Enough acidity that you really wanted the next careful sip. At Wally’s wine bar in Beverly Hills. Where people with way too much money and little clue shop. But treasures await for those who aren’t chasing a label. — 9 days ago

Ruby color. Cran/straw berries. Light and lip snacking refreshing but not a trifle. Some deep satisfaction in the mouthfeel — 4 months ago

1981 vintage that tasted young. But the oak is a bit overpowering after all those years. — 5 months ago

I’m ordinarily not a huge fan of fanatic but this was in a different class. Richer and with more mouthfeel than what I expected but not gamay on steroids either. A distinct red berry-fragrance that’s all it’s own — not a Pinot wanna be. Perfect with my pork tenderloin.

Dark berries, violets, tarragon and tar.. Med weight, med acidity - and ample tannins. Everything in balance. Puts me in the mood for roast chicken — 4 months ago

A fab Volnay. Medium bodied with a super rich mouthfeel and med + sugar, med+ acidity and a long finish. Flavors of red/blue fruit, colaish, damp leaves and mint/thyme. Glantenay is under the radar but with such finesse. — 5 months ago

Lavantureax is amazingly precise for a Village wine. Lemony white floral notes. With a rush of saline minerality. It’s juicy with substance. Great price/performance — 4 months ago

Medium fruit: pear, citrus, apricot and brioche and nicely balanced with acidity. Yellow color and a slight oxy/ nutty flavor that’s attractive. And a creamy mouthfeel, with small bubbles. — 4 months ago

Loads of fruit but dialed back nicely now with 6 yrs of age. Enticing nose with Dark cherry and raspberry with mushroom and wet leaves underneath. Med - body with nice mouthfeel and good acidity—almost juicy. Shows Burgundian restraint. In a word: elegant. — 4 months ago
