4/21/2024 - mflesh wrote: 96 pointsThe star of the show was a 1988 DRC St. Vivant. Oh man what a wine. This one had rather good provenance per discussion. Poured a nice ruby red to the glass. Initially I think this one was showing a lot of dusty funky "grandma's closet" kind of notes, but 4-5 hours later this one was definitely not there anymore! The whole cluster on this wine is quite apparent from the nose to the palate, and is a note that I have come to really love about pinot noir. Out of the glass, bright red fruit perfume, stemmy, intoxicating. The palate was red licorice, raspberry cola, even a hint of watermelon. As it sat on the palate, black tea, tobacco leaf started to emerge. Was served with a seared grouper and was the perfect pairing. The wine finished with rather nice rounded edges for a wine that is 35 years old. Still with moderately chewy oak tannin, you can definitely tell that the tannin are starting to fall out a bit here. I think this one, if properly stored, has another 15 to 20 years at optimal drinking before the secondary and tertiary notes start to take hold. My first DRC experience with awesome wino friends to celebrate a 70th birthday. What a nice celebratory bottle indeed! |

Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of concentrated sweet black fruit, rich and opulent, but perfectly harmonious, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, very fine tannins, and a seamless long black fruit driven finish with a hint of mint at the end. Like the 99, this is a super concentrated youthful La Tache that has a long life ahead. |

The stem note is masked by concentrated fruit. Exceptional concentration, layers upon layers of intense black fruit, rich and opulent but also beautifully detailed and harmonious, perfecta mount of acidity and mineral, and a long perfectly ripe black fruit driven finish with licorice and rose at the end. This remains incredibly youthful. It can easily improve for a few more decades, i.e. gaining sous bois and strong Chinese medicinal cabinet. |

4/16/2024 - rocknroller wrote: 97 pointsHeidi's Group: Oh My! (St. Genevieve, Mpls, MN): Medium dark red color with a 6mm transition. Slow-O for 4 hours. Drank a glass over 2 hours. This has a absolute wow nose. The nose is immensely aromatic with so much complexity and perfume to the spice and dried herbs; cool mint, dark cherry, orange peel, dried coriander, underbrush, with some medicinal herbal and mineral notes. The palate really takes hold over 20 minutes, opening up and showing the pristine red fruits with more subtle darker fruited nuances. Although I think it is the spice, herb and also the forest floor with that purity that really delineates this; though the caressing mouthfeel does as well. Bouyant minerals and depth with soft tannins that lifts the palate on a high toned lengthy finish. Gorgeous bottle, thanks Siggy. 97 to 97+pts. |

Excellent concentration, beautifully layered concentrated red fruit, rich yet fluid and sensual, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, and a long sweet concentrated red fruit driven finish with a hint of stem at the end. This is more concentrated than the 08 GE. Clearly expressing the exotic 08 vintage characteristic. Drinking beautifully. |

4/2/2024 - dcwino wrote: 96 pointsPerfectly mature nose displaying bright red fruit, cherry, strawberry, strong sous bois, grilled cep, Vosne spice, Chinese medicinal cabinet, stem, cinnamon and nutmeg and limestone. Fully integrated palate, very finely layered generous red fruit, silky and airy, beautiful detail and precision, bright acidity, fine limestone mineral, and a seamless long sweet red fruit driven finish. There is a hint of bitterness that is not bothersome. The 08 DRCs very unique and special. They were showing a lot of Vosne spice from the beginning. They matured quickly and now are perfectly mature, which is not a bad thing. |

This is a big scale wine clearly reflecting the 15 vintage. Although this is drinking really well, it can easily improve for a three decades or more, especially if you prefer mostly tertiary expression. |

StG's menu tonight screamed Burgundy so that didn't hurt. Well, this reminds a bit of James Garner's reaction, playing a former President in the movie My Fellow Americans where he boards Airforce One again to attend a funeral for some dignitary at the behest of the sitting President and quips "Hello baby, daddy's home!" as he eyes his old captain's chair reserved for the president. What a wonderful glass of wine tonight. Looking back, I compared drinking this with a long ago 96 LaTache in my head and found this every bit as magical tonight. For this mere mortal this lived up to its exalted status among the best Burgundy has to offer. Purity of fruit, finesse, silky mouthfeel. Truly sumptuous palate and an even more compelling nose with roses & spice galore along with hints of emerging forest floor notes. Yes, this will likely hit even great hights with age but man this was a major head turner tonight. Even in the same flight with a wonderful '10 Rousseau Ruchottes Chambertin "Clos Ruchottes" this found a way to separate itself and inspire awe. Thankyou Siggy!! BTW, I highly recommend My Fellow Americans if you'd like to laugh about politics for a change. Garner & Jack Lemon were among the DRC of comedic actors of their time. |

Still almost primary, with its core of intense cherry fruit. There’s sandalwood, aniseed, Hoisin and rose petals with air. It is velvety but oh so powerful and balance is exquisite. The finish drives on and expands. Quite simply, one of the greatest wines ever made. |
