Unmistakably old world. All savoury on the nose - truffle, cedar, salami, and spices. Palate is medium bodied but robust. Perfect balance between red/dark fruit, and savoury notes. Quite tannic. Still young! Amazing p/q. — 2 years ago

Still lots of fresh red fruit (cranberry and redcurrant), with some spice (nutmeg, clove, pepper) and leather and earth - delicious! — 6 years ago

Delicious dark fruit followed by char and then just enough tannin to chew on. — 8 years ago

Red fruits, licorice and spices on the nose. Not very typical. The palate is very young and lively. Nice red berries all along, strong acid drive, good width with matter on the sides, there is an almost milky mouthfeel with a nice soft touch which goes up to the mid palate tannins part. The finish is kicked off with that string acid drive, these nice and easy tannins, that lovely tangy red fruit and these spices. Too young and needs some food to show its bright side. It was paired with a massive rare T-bone steak on the barbecue which helped the wine show off a bit. — 4 years ago

Have not had this in about 3 years. Definitely needed to check in. Stunning nose. Sweet spices, bursting red cherry fruit, wet earth, sweet well integrated oak. Stunning aromas. Wow this has turned around. Palate is elegant and complex with tremendous depth. Sweet sappy fruit and a tiny bit of hard yet sweet tannin that needs maybe 1 hour to unfurl. Terrific intensity and freshness. Light yet packed and very complex. This has aged into something beautiful. — 8 years ago

an amazing champagne of craftsmen. Unfiltered with a remarkable symptomatic deposit of living wines. Greedy nose tangerine and peach, white Porto or Madeira notes, a touch of bitter orange. The palate is very digestible and suggests respectful vinification with little sulfur; it is a real wine that can be enjoyed on its own as well as as an accompaniment to petit four, fish, and even a dessert with orange or tangerine. — 4 years ago

Domaine Joliet Monopole Clos de la Perrière Fixin Premier Cru Chardonnay - Very pleasant surprise! Very developed for a 2009, but has a Dauvissat/Raveneau-ish style. Makes sense that this Cru was at one point considered for a Grand Cru classification. — 8 years ago

Beautiful color. Light even for pinot. Approaching grignolino. Hard to describe. Cherry, chalky soil, a hint of pepper. I'm consistently shocked at the complex flavor journey many pinots can take you on. Body does not always mean bigger flavor, and lighter body does not always mean mighty flavors. — 9 years ago
