Great finish — 3 months ago
1999 vintage. Opened with a Durand. Cork in great shape and approx 35% saturated. Not decanted. Tasted after one hour open. Wowza. Most excellent, full nose. Medium body + with great, full color. Sous bois, smoked meats, carmelized cranberry impressions running the savory festival currently in residence. Personally, could only wish for a touch more astringency/tannins but, otherwise, completely phenomenal. At the absolute apex/top of the bell curve now and for the next 5-7 years. Have had some decent Roty efforts over the years but this one takes the cake along with the accompanying plates and silver. Do cork dorks dream of electric red Burgundy? Hafta say "Yes." 2.27.26. — 2 months ago
Thicker body and slightly and just slightly overly ripe, floral fruits of; blackberries, black cherries, raspberries and blueberries. Red cola, licorice, moist, creamy, gray clay, dry twig, eucalyptus, soft dark spice, pretty good wood use here, dry, pronounced leather, dry tobacco, dry top soil, pronounced limestone minerals, dry herbs, potpourri, red, dark, blue florals with violets, a little high in the acidity, well balanced, elegant, nicely toned & elegant finish that last nearly 90 seconds and lands on spice, minerals and florals. — 5 months ago

A lovely wine that lost a lot of fruit, perhaps better consumed a few years ago? — 4 months ago
This was beautiful. Clean, fresh and delicious. Red and blue berries. A delightful wine. — 2 years ago
