Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair

Monopole Clos du Château Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir 2016

Stunningly great. Lots of depth and solid bones but the heavenly enveloping feeling was what put this over the top. The fruit was well developed. — 10 days ago

Château de Pibarnon (Comte de Saint Victor)

Bandol Mourvedre Blend 1998

17+ Still plenty of fruit! A little brown at rim, but otherwise little sign that it’s 26 years old, except that tannins all gone and a lot of deposit. — a month ago

Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair

La Colombiere Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir 2004

Medium dark rubi robe, slightly faded brick on the sides. Nose of spices, mint and cherries. Very light on its feet with medium bodied feel, elegant and complex, spicy and floral. Truly excellent. We bought a case in 2007 and bottles have been in the cellar all these years. This is truly excellent and no rush. We had diner tonight to comemorate Adriana’s birthday. — 2 months ago

Ulysse Collin

Les Maillons Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs Champagne Pinot Noir 2017

Most of the love in the Ulysse Collin lineup goes to the BdB’s but I am a big fan of the Maillons, particularly recent renditions. They’re more giving on release, always so demonstrative and aromatically expressive, and this one, based on the 2017 vintage is no exception, wafting layers of defined orchard fruit, bread dough and wildflower honey. The palate is both concentrated and focused with racy acids, a wonderfully textural mousse and a bright, energetic and mineral laced finale. Top notch Blanc de Noirs to no surprise. — 2 months ago
