7/14/2016 - wineberg Likes this wine: 93 pointsGreat young bottle. Tight tannins still even with a 6 hour decant....give her a good decant and some fatty food now, or another decade in the cellar. Lithe and feminine. Strawberry, cream, cherry, soy sauce, hints of earth. Very nice. |

1969 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti EchezeauxEchezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
1/5/2016 - wineberg Likes this wine: 91 pointsBottle in great condition. Not a mindblowing wine, but a great experience. Not over the hill by any means, showed nice mature leather, tea, dust, slight cherry, hints of spices. Probably time to drink these up. |

1985 Moët & Chandon Champagne Cuvée Dom PérignonChampagne Blend more |
12/31/2015 - wineberg Likes this wine: 96 pointsGreat bottle of champagne, just what I want: nice aged butterscotch notes, toast, but the primary apple, floral, and lemon flavors were still detectable, along with a good backbone of acidity. I'd guess a well stored bottle has another decade on it at least. |

1994 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti EchezeauxEchezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
12/18/2015 - wineberg Likes this wine: 91 pointsDRC Holiday Party; 12/17/2015-12/18/2015 (Mintwood): This bottle of much maligned '94 really wasn't bad at all next to the rest of the lineup. I'm sure it was one of the best Eches made that year, and this bottle came off as totally mature, ready to go, especially when compared to the somewhat closed down '93 next to it. Wet earth, subtle spice, not very complicated but certainly not disappointing at all given the year. |

1993 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti EchezeauxEchezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
12/18/2015 - wineberg Likes this wine: 93 pointsDRC Holiday Party; 12/17/2015-12/18/2015 (Mintwood): This was the most closed in the lineup, probably should have double decanted at least! Nose and palate were both pretty shy at first, but opened up some over the evening and strutted its stuff, and its of course delightful to drink, but I'd probably keep these in the cellar and check back in a few years. |

12/18/2015 - wineberg Likes this wine: 95 pointsDRC Holiday Party; 12/17/2015-12/18/2015 (Mintwood): Rich, smooth, and fully mature. Earth, tea, spice, leather, dust...in a good place right now, but not sure how long its going to stay there before starting to fall off. |

2002 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti EchezeauxEchezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
12/18/2015 - wineberg Likes this wine: 95 pointsDRC Holiday Party; 12/17/2015-12/18/2015 (Mintwood): Bottle was popped and sat for an hour or two, but could definitely have handled a decant. Kept evolving the entire night. Explosive on the palate, big beautiful nose, silky smooth with plenty of upside for at least another decade I'd guess. |

2012 Bernard Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin Très Vieilles Vignes - Coeur de RoyPinot Noir more |
2/12/2015 - wineberg Likes this wine: 90 pointsSo young at this point but wanted to see where this wine is starting off. Palate is quite tannic of course, very grippy, but the tannins are fine and will integrate much more over the years. Nose is nice, black tea, black cherry, soy sauce, some sous bois funk that will show itself more in time. Going to grab a few more to lay down for a decade or so! |

2012 Tissot (Bénédicte et Stéphane / André et Mireille) Chardonnay Arbois Empreintemore |
12/16/2014 - wineberg Likes this wine: 90 pointsDefinitely not the very oxidized style of white Jura that I really am not a fan of. This has lemons, wet slate, a hint of anise, along with a subtle red Burg-like funk (which I really like). Nice acidity, and well balanced overall. Went nicely with tuna steaks. Interesting wine with a good QPR. I blame you Dr. Jura! |

2009 Lillian Winery SyrahSanta Barbara County more |
12/11/2014 - wineberg Likes this wine: 93 pointsStill a great bottle of wine! Gave it a couple hours in the decanter. In line with my last TN; blue and blackberry, meat, vanilla, black olives, flowers. |

2009 Mongeard-Mugneret Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les OrveauxPinot Noir more |
12/11/2014 - wineberg Likes this wine: 90 points3 hours in the decanter. Fairly open at that point, but could certainly handle more air time. This could definitely use another decade or more in the cellar to mature and develop. |

1999 Denis Mugneret Père et Fils Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Saint GeorgesPinot Noir more |
10/30/2014 - wineberg Likes this wine: 91 pointsDecanted for about an hour. Very nice, classic Burg funk/sous bois come through what is a pretty big and still tannic wine. Black cherry and tea over top of the funk. Still so young though, I almost regret opening it! Might get a few more bottles and check back in 10 years. |

2005 Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes BlancChardonnay more |
8/1/2014 - wineberg Likes this wine: 91 pointsSlight hints of butterscotch (slight ox) under apple, lemon, lime, slight smokiness, brine, wet slate rock, acid is noticeable on the fairly quick finish. Good value, and will keep for a few more years. |

7/19/2014 - wineberg Likes this wine: 95 pointsGreat young bottle...could have used a decant to open up more, but was still excellent. Florals, tea, cherries, spice. Hints of barnyard/sous bois, earth. Always a treat to have a DRC. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

1/17/2014 - wineberg Likes this wine: 94 pointsSend-off in Style (Bourbon Steak, DC): Very good. Quite a fatty nose, some honey, but very reminiscent of some of the SQN Syrahs. It just smells like SQN to me. All kinds of other things going on here too: roses, honeysuckle, coconut, straw (hay). |
