Best wine of the year so far. Earthy, salty,with excellent dark and red berry notes. Moderate tannin and acid - nothing stole the show. Love this. Love. 2012 vintage - will be good for many years to come.

Sick nose. Raspberries, smoke, meaty, juicy, sleek and concentrated and fresh. Chunky as the vintage dictates but very Stoney and mineral yet elegant and juicy. Terrific tannins and such freshness.

Massive, mouthcoating flavors of cassis and mincemeat. Tannins softened quite perceptibly. Great for restaurants. #pommard #billardgonnet

Very dark. Deep dark red cherries. Excellent and worth the wait no regrets. 5min in - quite tannic can go for 5 more years. Classic. Hint cassis. Even blueberries. Tart. Very very good. Lyle are you still importing him? Great juice. Days later stored under Argon - stunning.

Pure terroir at this point which is quite funny actually. Not sure this wine could die. The energy is deep. The terroir is stark. The finish is intense. No style of winemaking to speak of.

2007 Nice perfumey nose. Hint of earth. Almost chewy on the palate. Concentration is impressive. Great internal aromatics after an hour. Juicy sweet integrated wood. Still young but you can drink it. Any left Lyle??????
