2002 Domaine Bruno Clavelier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru La Combe d'Orveau Vieilles VignesPinot Noir more |
4/27/2024 - pclin wrote: 95 pointsDouble-blind. Round and fine tannins with good structure, clearly still in upswing. Plenty of attractive spices leaded me to Vosne. Thought this was a ‘02 Malconsorts or Suchots from a good producer. An impressive mini-Musigny, co-WOTN with ‘93 Guigal La Moulin. |

2010 Bernard Levet Côte-Rôtie La Chavaroche / La PérolineSyrah more |
4/1/2024 - cfk49 wrote: 82 pointsThis wine is a prime example of how so much of one of France's greatest appellations is wasted -- there's Jamet, Barge, Vernay and maybe a couple of others worth drinking and that's it. I once thought Levet was in that group, which is why I cellared this wine, but this bottle proves otherwise. Even after being open a day, the wine is brutally tannic and the fruit has to struggle to get through. That's not old-style -- I know young Côte-Rôtie back in the 1970s and this ain't it. Cellared since original release.

2/5/2024 - d.f.c Likes this wine: 93 pointsA pleasant everyday drinker. Nothing noteworthy, but nothing bad either. It exibhibited a typical Pinot characteristic, smokey and earthy; but not much depth and elegance. A reasonable wine, especially taken into consideration that it's from the USA.

2002 Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les CrasPinot Noir more |
1/14/2024 - billyloveswine Likes this wine: 92 pointsMedium garnet with browning at the edge. Initially very muted but opened up after ~20 minutes in the glass. Medium nose of dried violet, dried red cherry and red plum, cinnamon, brown sugar, black tea, forest floor, and leather. Medium acidity, medium grippy tannins, and medium finish. Good complexity, but the structure seemed to be sticking out more than what’s left of the fruit, and I am not sure if it will come around. Maybe past its peak already?

1988 Domaine Tempier Bandol Cuvée Spéciale La MigouaMourvèdre Blend, Mourvèdre more |
1/11/2024 - rosenst1 wrote: 93 pointsPurchased and cellared since 1990. Decanted for 30 minutes before tasting. Fill bottom of neck and cork wet 3/4ths, Medium red with slight browning; gorgeous nose after a few minutes of air - garrigue and other herbal overtones - very complex. On. the palate excellent depth and fruit - hard to believe this is 36 years old. Maintains an excellent finish and taste over 2 hours of a lovely lunch. Very impressive but just a bit behind an 85 drunk a few years ago. Mourvedre really ages well!

11/25/2023 - NickA Likes this wine: 92 pointsKraters for the trenchermen (Les 2 Garçons): Slight trepidation at the notion of tackling a 2005 Corton, but needn't have worried. A crisp, well-delineated nose with some menthol and musk. Brambly fruit on the palate, with plenty of prickly, piquant acidity and a clean finish. Clearly a good lunch when there were several red Burgs I preferred to this, which was a very nice wine.

2010 Maison Albert Bichot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Malconsorts Domaine du Clos FrantinPinot Noir more |
11/16/2023 - NickA Likes this wine: 92 points2010 Red Burgundy (Allen & Overy, London): Bright, mentholated nose. Much more austere and dark-toned than the Suchots (characteristically), taut and leanly-muscled, grippy and energetic, with a touch of charcoal biscuit on the finish. Well-crafted and sophisticated, and certainly enjoyable, but will be a few years before this dense, Pauillac-ish wine is properly ready.

2002 La Pousse d'Or Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Bousse d'OrPinot Noir more |
10/27/2023 - drwine2001 wrote: NR2002 Beaune and Volnay Premier Crus (San Francisco): Light red core with fading rim. Forward warm spice and floral aromas. Medium to light weight. Naturally sweet red fruit, supple and flowing yet restrained due to outstanding acidity and a soil-inflected finish. This was delicious, immediately impressive, and just about fully expressed. Everyone who was familiar with Pousse d'Or wines from this period was delighted by the absence of an oak signature. To me the most "Volnay" wine of this first Volnay flight.

2005 Bouchard Père et Fils Volnay 1er Cru Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée CarnotPinot Noir more |
10/21/2023 - Musigny1955 Likes this wine: 94 points{Bottle 8 of 12, opened and then decanted x an hour, sound cork} Initially a bit reserved but then superb fruit, big wine, very sophisticated tannins, forever length. Nose a bit reticent and then ... grew and grew. 94+ and easily the match of many Grand Cru Gevreys tasted recently with Confrerie group in June. Inching towards 95 points ... An hour decant might be too short a time, it was still improving during the 30 or 40 minutes it was in the glass at a neighbor's dinner party.

The palate is bitter cherry with some grip, rustic and again stems are prominent. The finish is slightly austere and disjointed, with some hints of green notes. Well below par at this stage.

6/28/2022 - cfk49 wrote: 82 pointsForey has been making very good wines in recent years. Unfortunately this wine, which has some positive aspects, is not one of them. Plenty of dark fruits in a medium-full body, but deficient acidity makes the wine taste stretched and deprives it of any freshness.

8/12/2023 - hprphf wrote: 93 pointsVintage greeness translates into a natural style perhaps closer to DPR and Leroy, as indeed a friend blinds as such, with orange spice and signature purple fruit hidden beneath. Very resolved, powerful, a delicate and well-balanced BM unlike most of the recent Roumier vintages. I find these odd ones (04, 08 and fortunately 10) to drink much better than others in their youth. 93-94

8/16/2023 - acyso wrote: NRDinner at Chengdu Impression (Chicago, IL): Shows a little bit of oxidation, even if the acidity of the vintage is clearly on display here. Somewhat angular and disjoint, and the magic of Gerard Potel doesn't seem to come through here. Likely not a totally sound bottle, made even less compelling with Sichuan food.

It is around the corner with a different exposition and different soils. -- it's more related to the neighboring Echézeaux En Orveaux climat, so your Vosne guess was reasonable. The premiers cru portions of En Orveaux are much more Musigny-like.
