I’ve said it before…for Dauvissat, I consistently find Forest to drink pretty much just as well as the Grand Crus, especially after proper aeration. 2020 is a fabulous rendition, open and giving and adding serious weight with some time in the decanter. Pure, textured and expansive with electric acids and layered Chablisen minerality. As it is often with these wines, last glass was the best. — 8 days ago

Poured into a decanter about an hour prior to service; enjoyed alongside the 2020 Cuchet-Beliando, over the course of a couple hours. The vines for Vincent Paris’s “Le Geynale” are none other than the 100+ year old vines that he inherited from his uncle, Michel Robert. The 2020 “Le Geynale” pours a deep ruby/purple with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears. The nose is incredible, a bit like a pile of ripe black and blue fruits were placed inside an old world deli case and garnished with purple flowers. The wine is developing with blackberries, black plum, fig, lavender, black pepper, cured meats, oil cured olives, dried green herbs and rocky earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Outstanding stuff. Drink now through 2050. — a day ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner at Le Crypto. FWIW, this was a touch reductive upon opening and just needed about 30min in large burgundy glasses but after that, this was fresh and beautiful. The 2021 pours a ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of strawberry, red rope licorice, cranberry, dried red flowers, sous bois, and a gentle mix of cool and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. After a sluggish start, this finished with a flourish. Drink now through 2036. — 2 months ago
