12/20/2019 - csimm wrote: 85 pointsLIN—E—AR as all getup. White lemon pith, white stone fruit, chalk, and some salt rock. A straight-laced L7 that has absolutely zero interest in being anything but a wallflower on the palate dance floor. There is no beginning, middle, or end. It just “is” in the mouth. Near flavorless right now, with a $7 Sutter Home White Zinfandel depth that barely has enough concentration or intensity to motivate even an ADHD 3 year old to get out of bed. Hold this for 4-5+ years and hope the “fruit” holds out. 83-85? points. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (23) |

The only fault to be had here is that I have trouble distinguishing anything about it that particularly stands out. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (20) |

2017 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis Grand Cru Les PreusesChardonnay more |
10/3/2022 - csimm wrote: 96 pointsAllow me to start out a little backwards here in terms of my comments (what else is new?...right?!). I know it's sometimes frowned upon to talk about pricing and QPR and folks just wanna know if the wine is good or not. So, the answer there is, "Yes, it's good." If that's all ya need, then you can skip the rest of this. Now then, what is often confusing with Grand Cru Dauvissat (and even more so with Raveneau) is that trying to get a bead on pricing is such a moving target. Will the Preuses (the "bargain" of the Dauvissat Grand Crus) be $250 today? $300? $400? How about Clos? $1,500? $3,000? $4,000?? I mean, come on now. At some point it just gets silly. For $4K I could nab a lie-flat business class seat, fly to Chablis, and order a bottle at Hostellerie des Clos. I mean, I know "worth" is subjective and my own hypocricy reminds me every day that I have spent more than my share of mortgage-type payments on bottles of wine, but still.... Anyway, I just think there are certain wines (at least for the masses who have a decent wine-spend but it still doesn't rain money Kardashian-style) where cost always comes into the conversation. For Chablis, it's these two monkeys. For Napa, it's Harlan and Screaming Eagle. For BDX, it's Petrus, Lafleur, Le Pin, and a half dozen other big leaguers. For red Burgundy, it's those three little letters everyone loves: D-R-C. 5 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (17) |

2016 Joseph Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny 1er CruPinot Noir more |
5/7/2023 - csimm wrote: NRA juicy delivery with ripe and saturated red raspberry and cherry notes, with a dusting of earth and meaty flavors. A bit of heat on the back end but with a savory helping of fruit to fully encircle the palate. The succulent fruit here is compelling, with a decent amount of captivating heft behind it, even if the focus is a slight miss in the precision department. A bit blocky with the tannins darting in and out of the delivery, but a wine that’s hard to be mad at. Enjoyable for sure. Don’t overthink it, but for those looking for a more delicate profile, best look elsewhere. If you’re not scared of a little booyah in your beverage, you won’t be displeased with this little party pleaser. This is a Drouhin made for watching Monday night football, not curling… or darts… 3 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (16) |

11/27/2021 - Dr Otto Does not like this wine: 82 pointsPnp and drank over two days. Tried hard to get something out of this wine but ultimately it is just disappointing to me. Quite nondescript. Seems almost cooked flavorwise, yet thin and dilute. I would struggle to identify this as Beaujolais if tasting blind, makes me think more of something like a cheap Syrah. OK it’s a cheap Beaujolais cru, but still… 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (14) |

1995 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les ChaignotsPinot Noir more |
3/7/2003 - Eric wrote: 90 pointsI brought this to Etta's for dinner with Suzi (mini-crabcakes followed by the spice-rubbed salmon & cornbread pudding). On opening it was dark, brooding and tannic unlike almost any Pinot I have ever tasted. A bit of barnyard seems evident. At first it showed loads of tannin and acid, but the fruit was hiding. With time in the glass (NOTE: Etta's has *really* crappy restaurant glasses. Will Tom Douglas restaurants drive me to BYO glasses?) it starts to open up and expand, lengthening on the palate. Finally by the time the salmon entrees arrived we were dealing with pure MAGIC! The acid gets along SOOOO well with the fat of the salmon, the finish showing power and grace. Deep cherry, powerful and intense on the palate yet very smooth. 33 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (13) |

2011 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Combe aux Moines Vieille VignePinot Noir more |
10/30/2013 - pclin wrote: 94 pointsNose is bit shy initially but opens up 1/2 hr later. Floral with sweet tone. Notes of violet, spice, vanilla oak and good mixed of of black and red fruits with a touch of wood. Sweet and smooth on entry. Fairly open and accessible now. Good acidity level, probably higher than 09' but lower than 10'. 13.5% alcohol with ever so slight warmth at finish. Very Good balance and length. Pretty and delicious wine, easy to like, could have consumed the whole bottle. First experience with 11' red Burgundy. If 11' red Burgs are better version of 07', then these wines are going to be delicious early. Maintains good balance on 3rd day, good aging potential, impressive! Buy more? Bought everything on the merchant's list! 93-94 pts. 3 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (13) |

8/5/2022 - chablis28 wrote: 94 pointsFirst btl about 30 mons ago. This continues to rock and further its march to glory! Such a classy & pristine glass of world class Chardonnay. Sadly, the market is rapidly knocking new releases dramatically, out of my humble reach, with each passing year since 2010. I’ll try to space out my remaining btls, judiciously! Used to buy these for $36! None the less, a great special occasion btl to open on our trip in Banff NP! My son in law, along with us, said its the best Chardonnay he’s ever tasted. 4 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (11) |

2018 Domaine Anne et Hervé Sigaut Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les ChatelotsPinot Noir more |
7/14/2021 - csimm wrote: 94 pointsA Chambolle that delivers both acidic energy and a dark, somewhat brooding, depth (eventually). This particular bottle was followed over the course of a few weeks with a Coravin. The first hits of the fresh bottle were extremely tight and torqued-up, with the tannic structure and quivering acidity putting pressure on the fruit, which was desperately trying to surface. In the glass with some air, the balled-up core began to open up slightly with black cherry and bark notes. However, the back end never fully stretched itself out, becoming clipped and constrained on the stubborn finish. 7 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (11) |

2017 Faiveley Corton-Clos des Cortons FaiveleyCorton Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
12/9/2022 - Mag357 wrote: NRReddish pale ,woody aromas and a hint of graphite reduction, black ripe cherry scents and soil, these aromas extend in the mouth. The toast is quite prominent at that stage, the coffee and burnt flavors tend to mask the fruit, the barrel lending its sweetness. There is however good sappy silkiness, tannins are soft but present, decent concentration of flavors but slightly short for grand cru, ending in a chalky, persistent and fresh finish. This is a soft vintage, and the extraction is well judged with soft tannins, so this could be drunk quite young. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (10) |

2013 Domaine Darviot-Perrin Meursault 1er Cru Les PerrièresChardonnay more |
2/26/2023 - csimm wrote: 100 pointsI've written a decent amount on this wine already, but every time I pop the cork, 1.) I regret it, because I know Darviot-Perrin's Perrieres is near-impossible to find in the states, especially this amazing 2013, and I know my stash has forever dwindled minus-one more bottle, and 2.) I am utterly amazed by the freshness (thanks DIAM 10!) and purity of fruit; for my palate, this is top-top-shelf Meursault and would easily be considered a Grand Cru - if Meursault carried such a classification. 1 person found this helpful, do you?

12/23/2020 - shifter Likes this wine: 91 pointsDon't buy this. It's not an excellent Gevrey at a surprising price point. There may be some red fruit wrapped in floral notes. The palate definitely doesn't have dark fruit on a backbone of acidity with a lingering finish. Save your money and buy some NSG or something from Chile. 5 people found this helpful, do you?

8/7/2021 - Philbeagles wrote: 89 pointsHmmm.... I am not sure about some of these ratings and the drinking windows. This seems to be waning but yet the window is not supposed to open until 2024.... and last until 2060...WTAF is JG saying (93+). Maybe I do not understand burgundy yet, I thought I was getting the hang of it... Its a stretch to give it an 89 .. I do not see this getting better. I do understand that tertiary flavours do evolve but I do not see this changing chemical compostion and becoming that. My reference point for tertiary flavours is a 1996 De Vogue Musginy VV when it had about 8 years on it. It was sublime. I have 6 more of these with which to experiment. Fingers crossed.I guess its is the in same category as someone giving at $12 burgundy a 100 point rating. It still makes it into CT scoring. Do you find this review helpful?

8/28/2020 - Alexander Smith Likes this wine: 90 pointsThis was recently graded as the best Gamay in the world! So is it? Well firstly a quick comment on 'competition'. In terms of selection they did not have the big 4 of Beaujolais which I find odd, they had little wines from the new world, Oregon and Australia are producing some outstanding Gamay, just check out Evening Land Gamay and you will know what I am talking about. So back to the wine... 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (9) |
