2014 vintage. Opened but not decanted. Probably a mistake as the wine was muted for the first 30 mins after opening. Light-medium bod. Raspberry and plum suggestions frontal/mid palate. Tannic references available upon request. Showed decently but have tasted better exactly same specimen previously. Seemed slightly muted but not flawed. Blaming it on me decanting previous bottles of selfsame but not this one. How to lose a wine in a second. My bad. Call me the same name as Steve Martin's dog in The Jerk. Grrr. — 22 days ago

Apple, pear, peach, citrus, honeysuckle, minerals. Tart lemon on the palate. Medium body, crisp acidity. Best if you allow it to breathe for a bit. — 4 months ago

Mid gold in colour. Aromatics of yellow peach and honeyed notes. No traces of petro chemical. Medium plus intensity of stone fruit and mineral on the palate. Great depth. One of the top Rieslings in Alsace and showing it in spades. A beautiful Riesling and probably at its peak. Will stay on this plateau through the 2020’s. Interestingly about 25% went through malolactic so this is a different style from the usual Cuvée Frederic Emile. Very fresh for a 14 year old Riesling but remaining fleshy and M plus bodied. — 5 months ago

Terrific effort and great value. Strawberries, cherries, plum and slate. Medium body, very spicy with great length. Best to wait a couple more years but delicious now. — 25 days ago

After decanting, showing its features. Black fruity and concentration. Robust structure. Good balanced. Frederic Esmonin Gevrey Chambertin 22 @, 240913 — 3 months ago

Good tipicity. Lots of concentrated ripe red and black fruit, but between the hint of barnyard, good oak integration, lower alcohol and elegant body it’s very well restrained and enjoyable. Maybe a bit rustic but very well done  — 4 months ago

2024/9. Basically similar to the last bottle, but a little more integrated and open from the start - wild red fruit, forest, iron. — 3 months ago
