Domaine Grand Veneur Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

Deep dark brooding color with rich ripe nose and blackberries and dark fruit. A winner should evolve further over next decade. — a month ago

Les Murgers Nuits-St. Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2014

No specific notes but a very elegant, spicy and floral burg done by one of the finest we know. Really good bottle and recommended. Might be a notch or two better with another 5 to 6 years of cellar time. — 4 months ago

Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir 2022

David T
9.2

My continued quest to try as many 2022 Burgundies as possible.

This leans into 93 with a 92.5.

Nose of bright mid fruits with a core of dark, cherry hard candy, red licorice, baking soda with beautiful red florals.

The body is somewhat thicker than the previous two. Dark cherries, poached strawberries, blackberries, light black raspberries with some blueberry hues. Dry, fine top soil, barrel shaving dust, dry, fine tannins. Dark rich earth with dry leaves, dry twig, sagebrush, mid berry cola, light baking spices, soft dark spice, dry pipe tobacco, limestone dust, dry river stone, bright candied red, dark florals, rainfall acidy with a juicy, well balanced, elegant finish that lasts 90 seconds.

10 plus years of cellaring with add additional point or two. Maybe, three?

Cuvée Les Vieilles Fontaines Cornas Syrah 2012

I thought this was the most complete and elegant of the trio of ‘12 Cornas we opened. Dark fruited, sinewy, meaty and herbal, floral and spicy notes add interest to a long and dramatic finish. Plenty of life ahead — 4 months ago

Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2020

Deep ruby red. Plum, raspberry and blueberry. Spices. Balanced one. More concentrated than the previous vintage.
