1995 Krug Champagne Clos d'AmbonnayPinot Noir more |
1/21/2022 - bill00 wrote: 97 pointsFantastic bottle. Big, rich pinot fruit. Incredible texture. Plenty of acid, but it's well integrated. This is in a great spot right now. |

2010 Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier Chambolle-MusignyPinot Noir more |
12/8/2021 - bill00 wrote: 89 pointsLight spice. Lean and lacking a bit in fruit and density. Was hoping for more here given the vintage. |

2013 Coche-Dury MeursaultChardonnay more |
12/7/2021 - bill00 wrote: 89 pointsVery high acid sticks out making this a little prickly and slightly out of balance. Pleasant enough with food, but a relatively weak vintage for this wine. |

2005 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils ChambertinChambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
11/26/2021 - bill00 wrote: 100 pointsUtterly spectacular from the first sniff to the last taste. Incredible depth and purity of fruit. Completely seamless. Powerful and concentrated with no heaviness. Everything is in the right place. Nothing to nitpick, there's just no doubt. Benchmark. |

2010 Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair EchezeauxEchezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
10/24/2021 - bill00 wrote: 96 pointsAnother excellent bottle with similar notes to bottle 6 months ago. So easy to drink right now. |

2012 Agrapart Champagne Grand Cru Vénus Brut Nature Blanc de BlancsChardonnay more |
10/23/2021 - bill00 wrote: 92 pointsThere is a little bit more richness/ripeness than usual for Venus which makes it more easy-going than typical. Very nice, well-balanced and drinking well. |

1999 Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les AmoureusesPinot Noir more |
10/22/2021 - bill00 wrote: 94 pointsDark fruited and spicy. Dense and seriously structured. Lacks a bit of refinement/silkiness for Roumier Amoureuses. Potentially very long-lived. Have had better bottles of this 2-3 years ago, but no apparent issues or flaws with this bottle. |

2002 François Raveneau Chablis Grand Cru Les ClosChardonnay more |
10/21/2021 - bill00 wrote: 94 pointsRelatively restrained and took 30-60 minutes to get going. Classic Clos minerality. Nicely mature at this point though I thought this was more impressive when it was a bit more youthful, say 3-5 years ago. |

2002 Domaine Leroy Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux MontsPinot Noir more |
10/9/2021 - bill00 wrote: 96 pointsThis was great and much better than a recent bottle of '96 (not totally surprising given vintages but still). Classic stem and spice aromatics but they aren't overpowering and are in total harmony with the beautiful dark cherry fruit. Impressive balance and refinement. Improved over several hours. |

NV Ulysse Collin Champagne Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut (2015) Les PierrièresChardonnay more |
10/9/2021 - bill00 wrote: 92 pointsAnother nice bottle of this. Youthful and lively and should benefit from more time in bottle. |

2004 Domaine d'Auvenay (Lalou Bize-Leroy) Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les FolatièresChardonnay more |
10/8/2021 - bill00 wrote: 95 pointsSimilar notes to bottle a few months ago with impressive textural richness and plenty of balancing acid. No rush here. |

10/7/2021 - bill00 wrote: NRFar short of a bottle from a couple of months ago. While this is by no means premoxed it lacked energy and clearly not what this wine is fully capable of. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

1988 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave HermitageSyrah more |
10/3/2021 - bill00 wrote: 92 pointsFrom magnum but there was some seepage and this wasn't quite as youthful and pristine as I was hoping it would be. Solid and enjoyable but there are better bottles of this. |

2008 Georges Laval Champagne Premier Cru Brut Nature Les ChênesChardonnay more |
10/3/2021 - bill00 wrote: 92 pointsFrom magnum. Much better than a bottle earlier this year as this was fresher with no oxidative notes at all. Precise and minerally and closer to what I remember this wine being years ago, though it still probably would've benefitted from some dosage to fill/round it out. |

9/27/2021 - bill00 wrote: 94 pointsFresh and lively with lemony citrus. Plenty of acidity but it's well-balanced with typical Krug richness and all delivered in a harmonious package. Really like this iteration of GC. |

1996 Domaine Leroy Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux MontsPinot Noir more |
9/23/2021 - bill00 wrote: 92 pointsInitially stern and unyielding but improved significantly with a decant and air time. Dark berry and spice. On the leaner side with characteristic '96 acidity. |

2005 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis Grand Cru Les ClosChardonnay more |
9/21/2021 - bill00 wrote: 91 pointsShows the vintage character with its size and ripeness but carries it well with plenty of acidity. Don't love the vintage for Chablis generally but this is a solid effort. |

9/19/2021 - bill00 wrote: 93 pointsGolden colored. Big, ripe and rich and very much showing the vintage. Loads of popcorn. The richness is well balanced by plenty of acidity. Got better and better with air. |
