Beautiful wine, but for its value it’ll leave you wanting. While I love the vintage for the Domaine as I believe it provides a good balance to the style, this bottle was a bit thin on the palate. I wonder if decanting would have helped it gain some weight. — 2 days ago

This is young...very young. However! This is already very impressive. Somewhat of a "if you know, you know" wine that has bags of potential. Give this 10 years and it will go up against almost any wine. Did an aged blind tasting against Dominus a few years ago and this smashed. Good one to have in your cellar! — a day ago

2006: served blind. Thought this was mature right bank Bordeaux. Really intriguing! Funky and rich: Pommard the brutalist! — 17 days ago

Dense and structured. Dark plum, tar and a hint of cola. Underbrush, black pepper and blood. Intense and powerful. Needs time — a month ago

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Fruity nose of red fruits with earth, herbs and chocolate notes.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with raspberries, cherries, peppercorn, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth, light cedar, tobacco leaf and herbs.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Mourvedre from Bandol. Elegant and nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Drinking beautifully now, although still young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Complex and delicious right now. Good by itself or with food.

A blend of 90% Mourvedre and 10% Grenache. Aged for 22 months in large French oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

$75. — 8 days ago

This was back when André Tchelistcheff was making wine for BV. In fact, it’s because of Tchelistcheff that the Georges de Latour Vineyard was bottled separately in the first place. Decanted prior to service; enjoyed over the course of several hours. This bottle of the 1970 pours a garnet color with significant rim variation; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears and signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with a mix of tart, ripe and dried mostly red fruits: red currants, lingonberries, Bing cherry, tobacco, Poblano pepper, old leather, dry gravelly earth, and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin (integrated) and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. After enjoying the 1981 vintage a couple weeks ago, this is stunning leap in quality. The 1970 is evergreen and stole my heart. Drink now through 2040. — 8 days ago

Called Viognier from Australia or other hot climate. Late-harvest-y but dryish super oily. — 8 days ago

Crisp, citrus mix of tangerine and lemon, creamy and smooth, paired very nicely with a simple Branzino prepared in olive oil, lemon, and salt. — a month ago
