Welp…I didn’t expect to run into the 1999 “La Romanée” again so soon, but the generosity of my brothers in wine is extraordinary so, here we are. For the most part, my previous notes still apply and given that this bottle was part of a special lineup, I find them all the more valid.

This bottle was opened about an hour prior to service. The 1999 “La Romanée” pours a slightly deep ruby with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing and sanguine with black cherry, bruised strawberry, some roasted meat, mushrooms, sous bois and fine spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is long. Still phenomenal old school GC Burgundy though, not quite as rustic as the 2001 Louis Remy, Latricières-Chambertain from earlier in the day…but certainly more old school than the 2005 DRC Romanée St. Vivant. Can’t believe I got to experience this again. The old drinking window holds true. Drink now with patience and through 2049+. — 13 days ago

We had the 2010 Vintage on 1/23/26. A good PN with scents of red fruit and eucalyptus. Raspberry and minerality and spice on the palate. Medium bodied, nice mouthfeel, Old World. Good, but expected more from a Grand Cru — 7 months ago

Light cold color with a clay soil nose. Notes of light citrus, ginger, white flowers, some caramel and butterscotch, some earth. Fruit is decent. Ample acidity. While not what I would deem all-out POX, this definitely has a little bit of the sherry/butterscotch, caramel thing going on. Usually this bottle would be emptied quickly with this group and it had half a bottle left at the end of the night. That's your rating right there. — 5 years ago

2012 vintage. Opened, not decanted. Nice fill and ridiculously, picture perfect cork. Tasted 40 minutes after opening. Medium body. Domestically reminiscent of Calera Jensen Vineyard pinot noir. So. Much. Chalk. And. Limestone. Barely restrained power. This will outlive me. Hopefully, not you. One bottle left. 1.23.26. — 7 months ago

2005 vintage. Opened but not decanted. Great fill and cork. Hovering about on the various drafts and reluctant to commit to any distinctive/particular characteristic other than ethereality. Decidedly precious and delicate. One bottle left. 12.5.25. — 9 months ago
