Pop and pour. A majestic lite gold color. On the nose: crisp apples, lemon, almonds, floral, and honey. Taste: creamy, beautiful texture and nice acidity wine with apple, pear, lemon zest, saline, flint, and a minerally lime peel medium plus finish. YUM! Maturing gracefully and time to go. — 8 days ago

While not showing its best, it’s always a special and humbling experience to drink DRC! A little advanced, but still showing complex stemmy aromatics with cola and Asian spices. Great with the dry-aged duck but not necessarily memorable on its own outside the label. — 24 days ago

Excellent! Smooth and polished. Super long and showing more maturity than I was expecting. All the classic notes in a superb showing. — 9 days ago

Just enough of the 2020 weirdness to inject some depth after an hour of air. — 2 days ago

Good for 13 slightly advanced and custardy but didn’t feel like it was a fully pre-moxed wine. — 15 days ago

And from the shaky 18 vintage who would have guessed? Great Clavoillon! — 3 days ago

One of the best CDLR’s in the biz showing beautifully tonight with an ultra complex and seductive bouquet of candied red cherries, rose petals, coffee beans and game meat. The palate is luxuriously silky with obvious grand cru and old vine concentration, particularly for the vintage, and there is beautiful purity and elegance to balance its power. Its spice and mineral inflicted finale just keeps on going. 07 Burgundy are in such a great spot. — 9 days ago

I am a fan of their work. This wine is so weightless, soft & gentle, it might float on water. I met Toby Bekker in Australia who I thought his Grenache and Syrah wines were made in a Burgundian style. I asked him about his time in Burgundy and if that influenced his wines. He said, there he learned what not to take from grapes/wine. This is a shinning example of what he was taking about.

The fruits are perfectly ripe, floral & extracted. Cherries, strawberries, pomegranate, rhubarb tones, plums, haunting raspberries, light & softly layered baking spices- clove cinnamon, nutmeg & vanillin, understated red cola & licorice, excellent oak use-barrel powder, hints of dry herbs, understated dry twig, hints of grilled meats, notes of dry tobacco w/ ash, soft used leather, red flowers, red & pink flowers, excellent acidity and a well balanced, softly waking tension with grace and elegance on the two-minutes that lands gently on spice & earth.

Beautiful! — 2 days ago
