Apr 30th, 2018I expected to like the Romanee-St. Vivant better but this was the winner among the two for me. Impossibly rich, elegant and mouth-filling.

Jan 15th, 2013From magnum. Medium deep garnet . Lovely rose tinged nose , a bit earthy but delicate red fruit focused with lots of finesse . Not a big wine by any means but with lovely roundness and elegance . Soft rounded tannins and balanced acidity. Good length and energy. A real triumph for a much maligned vintage . Drink from now and over the next 10 years.

Mar 1st, 2018Brown edge stewed red fruit on the nose along with licorice clean and long layers on the center/back palate dark notes of menthol perfectly balanced long legs tart cherries. Ok - there is nowhere to go after this. What a finale!!!

Dec 25th, 2016Great stuff. Spice, clear fruit. A good nose. A touch of caramel on nose and palate I didn't get on the last bottle I had of this, and a grapefruitish? element too. Very small components but noticeable... Overall though very good
