Post dinner party notes. Third bottle I’ve had of this and by far the best yet. Amazing. Such a complex nose, with roasted herbal notes, dark spicy fruit, earthy mineral iodine notes Tannins just about completely resolved. Length and depth for days. Wow. — 22 days ago

Issue with the half bottle again. These just aren’t right…. Would be good if not. — a month ago
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Sweet nose of black fruits, cedar, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco and black pepper.
Full bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, light cedar, licorice, chocolates, coffee, light earth and peppercorn.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.
This 9 year old Zinfandel from Napa Valley is drinking beautifully now. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel, complex and entertaining.
Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years. Tangy and spicy, rich and inviting.
I had this vintage 7 years ago, and it is drinking much better now.

First sentence is a tester. Now the full note. We don’t often have Grand Cru Burgundy but we had roast duck legs on Mother’s Day. An intensity to the nose - Sous Bois/Compost heap with savoury red fruits - smoky with a hint of pepper. Many of the experts are saying a high influence of stems in the ferment is apparent and I totally agree. Interestingly Richard Hemming MW gave the wine 19.5/20 and said “This is what all the Burgundy fuss is all about.” Continuing to evaluate - this wine has a beautiful nose (very Morey one taster said). In summary a magnificent wine with great persistence. One of the 1001 Wines. Clos des Lambrays can trace its history back to the 14th century. — 10 days ago
