Stunning and complete bottle of red Burgundy. Super modern and floral aromatics. Dances on the palate with an elegance and levity that only Liger Belair can seem to conjusre up. In spite of this overwhelming "easy to drink" quality," the wine is layered and complex. Really blossomed after a few hours open. The finest CLB I have encountered.

On pnp this was powerful and decidedly oak dominated, even monolithic. Left open (without decant) for around 6 hours and oh boy did it transform and reveal itself. Still immense power for the vintage and fairly dark fruited it soared from the glass with majestic energy. It's most certainly a Reignots to hold onto 10 years plus. While the youngest of Reignots I ever tried this was a lot less open than the 15 and 14 drank last year as context. Hold!

Comte Liger-Belair Vosne-Romanee Aux Reignots 2017. Aaaahhh, dette oser av finesse og klasse. Semi-mørk parfymert frukt, utsøkt fatbruk og nydelig spice. Særdeles forførende. Fløyelsmyk munnfølelse, dyp med en vilt bra tekstur. Bra med power, samtidig som den er leken og elegant. Ingenting som spriker. Sublim konsentrert frukt med et nydelig syrespill. Mister aldri farten som holder helt til slutt. Finishen er lang som et maraton. Fast og fokusert med bestemte perfekte tanniner. Er forelsket. 97p

La Paulée de New York Grand Tasting (Pier Sixty, Chelsea Piers - New York NY): Walk around tasting. Enticing spice and floral start with black and red cherry. Not close to a powerhouse, but an enchanting enchantress with so much bright cherry, spice and elegant textures. Cellar for a few years, but this is a beauty to enjoy on the young side, probably best 2023-2032.

Drank this as we settled into our seats; good pick-me-up, prepping us for a decadent evening.
Showy out of the gates, with perky fruit and a little bite of spice. Well crafted and delicious.
