Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2002
Nice bright reddish tawny, translucent. Exotic nose from the get go. Notes of strawberry and raspberry, rhubarb, Asian spice, some wood and some dark earth. Great texture and mouth feel. Builds with a few hours of air. In a great place but still young with more upside and can likely get more complex. — 2 months ago

Allez-Goutons Pinot Noir
Huh, who knew? It reminds me of the light cherry effervescence of McHenry, but a bit watered down and soda pop. Like pleasant drunky black cherry soda. — 20 days ago

Domaine du Closel-Château des Vaults
Clos du Papillon Savennières Chenin Blanc 2010
2010 Chenin Blanc from Savennières, Anjou-Saumur, Loire Valley, France.
This wine is deep gold. On the nose it has a medium(+) intensity of developing aromas. Aromas include primary notes of bruised apple, stewed and spiced pear, ripe apricot, golden raisin, and honeysuckle. Also tertiary notes of honey, marzipan, and walnut. On the palate, this is a dry wine. It has medium acidity, a full body, high alcohol, and medium (+) intensity in flavors. Flavors are consistent with the nose. The finish is medium (+). This is a very good wine. It may be consumed now but has potential for further aging.
We so enjoyed this, it really evolved in the glass after letting it breathe and reach closer to room temperature. Love the complexity, texture, and character.

Cuvée Tradition Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2005
Final btl, and unarguably the best. On the nose: soft Gevrey earth, vanilla spice cake, wild strawberry and dried pomegranate molasses. On the palate: pitch perfect acidity, loads of raspberry, dried raspberry, cranberry, pomegranate, soft leather, dried herbs, the lightens up. Mature, but still a bit of primary hanging around...tannin completely attenuated on the juicy finish. Fantastic. — a month ago
