More expensive every vintage and still worth it in my opinion. More about pleasure than complexity. Consistently delicious juice. — a month ago
I’d say this is on point. Years have been good this “still” fuller bodied red burg from old vines. The ripe red cherry definitely feels concentrated on the palate, especially on the tip of the tongue. The wine is still balanced with medium acidity, alcohol and medium plus tannins surprisingly. More about timing than anything else with this bottle, open soon. Cheers. — 3 months ago
What a beautiful expression of Chardonnay in the glass. Both subtle and interesting on the nose, richness of color, and a perfectly balanced wine. And while the wine had a strong mineral foundation it was much more engaging than just a single note. So glad my cellar has several more bottles to enjoy in the years ahead. — 4 months ago

Faiveley Clos Corton — 3 months ago
Unanimously the Belle of the bunch, this was dripping with complexity tonight. Deep garnet with some browning towards the rim. The nose is vinous with bruised, ripe and desiccated strawberry, dried flowers, mushrooms and loads of sous bois; savory. Good structure still. Long finish. Drink now. — 4 months ago

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!
We’re breaking out the Burgundy with this 2011 Domaine Faiveley Latricières-Chambertin, one of nine grand cru climats in Gevrey-Chambertin located in the Côte de Nuits.
It’s a beautiful crimson hue trending garnet around the edges.
On the nose and palate are medium (+) intensity notes of Luxardo cherry, black raspberry, dried redcurrant, strawberry rhubarb preserves, rose water, cardamom and other sweet baking spices, star anise, anise seed, licorice, clove, pencil shavings, sandalwood, potpourri, mushroom, leather, moss, and forest floor.
It has a smooth mouthfeel with ripe, fine-grained tannins and a long, elegant finish. It is layered with complexity, dimension, and wonderful balance. All around superb!
Cheers to the holidays; savor it all!! — 2 months ago
