2014 Domaine Prieuré Roch Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les SuchotsPinot Noir more |
5/5/2024 - conviction buy wrote: 92 pointsPop and poured, medium ruby with a murky hue. Enticing aroma of bright red fruits, a little bit stemmy. Dusty on palate, more acidic upfront, dry tannin with medium fruit lingering. Too stringent for my taste and also too pointed though there is decent after taste lingering. Typical of biodynamic? |

3/7/2024 - conviction buy wrote: 92 pointsMedium ruby, nose all red and dark fruits and oak. Sweet with ample acidity and grip on palate, more dark fuits but oak too dominant. Medium finish and in a good posture than previously tasted a few years ago. In drinking window now. |

5/8/2022 - conviction buy Likes this wine: 95 pointsPnp, pristine bottle with wax seal intact, cokor is pale yellow, floral nose of white orchid, hint of cream and lime. Lifted acidity on palate, but was immediately takrn over by the elegant yet powerful aroma bomb, floral and fruits dancing, lovely acid entangled with mineral hint of brine. Very long finish, and lingers. Bravo !! |

2008 Domaine Robert Groffier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les AmoureusesPinot Noir more |
4/12/2022 - conviction buy Likes this wine: 92 pointsPnp, a clear ruby with light rim, aroma gains weight after breathing in glass, a bouquet of red fruits, spice and hint of oak. Contrast to the light appearance, the wine is pretty concentrated on palate, very elegant and purfumed without shatp edges or harsh tannin. Perfect balance of red fruit with fine acidity and just slightly bitter sweetness. Finish with a med to long hawthorne aroma which is lovely. |

NV Charles Dufour Champagne Blanc de Blancs "Avalon" Brut NatureChardonnay more |
4/11/2022 - conviction buy Likes this wine: 92 pointsDisgorged in Jul 2018, pale straw yellow with fine beads. Nose is akin to a matured Chablis, lemon peel, honey and slightly tar. Bright acidity on palate as this is brut nature, but not the typical grabbing and rough, this is smooth and gentle and at the sametime concentrated. Refreshing and complex. |

1/31/2022 - conviction buy wrote: 92 pointsSlowly bt breathed, deep ruby, fresh cherry and blueberry aroma, earth and hint of spice.

1/12/2022 - conviction buy Likes this wine: 91 pointsPnp, sweet ripe grapefruit, almost a meursault with finely balanced oak. Lovely acidity that blends seemlessly with fruits, medium finish, and a really good wine to pair with food. |

1996 Domaine Ponsot Griotte-ChambertinGriotte-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
12/26/2021 - conviction buy Likes this wine: 93 pointsFrom magnum, lot 196 (on the other end of the label, it said 98 mag was made from thia bin). Dunno, color is bright garnet, read the review on cellar-tracker made me worried when popping the cork. But the aroma out of the bottle confirmed the provenance, pristine. Plenty of cherries and red fruits as Griotte should be. Hint of spice too. Sweet and fresh on palate, tannin almost velvet, mild length but very lively, perfumed and elegant. Exactly the Griotte I adored. Lucky ! |

2016 Bouchard Père et Fils ChambertinChambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
11/11/2021 - conviction buy wrote: 91 pointsPnp, surprisingly ruby color instead of deep red. Purfumed nose of strawberry, spice and oak which is hardly opulent givennthis is a GC. Fairly concentrated in mouth, tanin is surprisingly smooth, oak spice slight more dominant, some dark fruits from mid palate, a starnge Chambertin where the mineral and earth are not prominent. Need time ? |

1990 Domaine Louis Remy Latricières-ChambertinLatricières-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
11/9/2021 - conviction buy Likes this wine: 92 pointsPnp, garnet color with a light rim. Ripe red fruits and hint of spice and autumn leaves. Sweet on palate, just enough acidity to bring out the fruits with more oak on palate than on nose. Good concentration and the use of oak justify the ripe fruits which was meant for long haul. Tannin pretty velvet but will continue to evolve. Long finish and more fruits emerged that overcame the oak. A hidden gem that will continue to age gracefully. |

1996 Monthélie-Douhairet-Porcheret Pommard 1er Cru Les FremiersPinot Noir more |
10/20/2021 - conviction buy Likes this wine: 92 pointsThanks to a local merchant that bring this Domaine to us, pnp, full of matured aroma of autumn leaves, ripe fruits and hint of floral elements. Sweet fruits on palate, well resolved tannin, not concentration here, but a balanced posture that differs from a typical Pommard that is fr8m and unyielding. Lovely effort !! |

1996 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault 1er Cru CharmesChardonnay more |
10/12/2021 - conviction buy Likes this wine: 95 pointsPnp, the moment the cork was pulled, the aroma was so fresh and perfumed as I was preparing myself for bt variation. Light golden in color was a good sign, nose is whisky, period. Initially lack depth despite the lovely aroma, after some breathing, all pieces fall into place. Very balanced and young given the age, power without weight !! Bravo !! |

9/14/2021 - conviction buy Does not like this wine: 88 pointsAs though the passage of time has shown mercy to this wine, nothing has changed, still grippy tannin, acidic and dusty. Dry with fruits backward. I would only pay a fraction for it at the going price. |

1966 Château PalmerMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/11/2021 - conviction buy Likes this wine: 93 pointsLast bt from yhe sale auction lot, foil cut to reveal cork. Pnp, rim is pale brick and crimson core. Nose is gorgeously earthy, leather, mushroom and floral. Inital palate is leaning to acidic, but after some airing, the wine gathered muscle, becomes more concentrated, good acidity with fully resovled tannin, power without weight, there are still fruits from mid palate to a long finish. A gem. |

2009 Alain Hudelot-Noëllat Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les BeaumontsPinot Noir more |
8/24/2021 - conviction buy Likes this wine: 92 pointsPnp, color is relatively matured garnet, plenty of red fruits jumped out of glass shunned the worry that this is over the peak. Hint of oak and minerality. Sweet and sharp on palate with good acidity that lifted the wine, almost power without weight, but lacked the complexity. Nonetheless a very well composed structure and medium finish. |

2003 Château Haut-BrionPessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more |
8/12/2021 - conviction buy Likes this wine: 92 pointsPnp, airing in glass, color is much darker than the 90 Lafite, denser atoma of dark fruits, licorice, forest floor and earth. More intense in all dimensions, oak still upfront, but sweet fruits and mild acidity helped made thia wine an enjoyable 2003. Not as long as the Lafite surprisingly, this has a lot more life ahead. |

8/12/2021 - conviction buy wrote: 92 pointsCelebrate my girl admitted into a renowed university. Breathed for 2 hrs, top fill with bright ruby and a lighter rim in the glass. nose is full of lead pencil, cassis, typical Pauillac structure. Very elegant surprisingly on palate, sweet dark fruits and good acidity. Still have room to evolve, but not a wow wine by any measure, some tertiary aroma noted, maybe I am spoiled by wines from Burgundy. |

2014 Domaine Méo-Camuzet Corton-Clos RognetCorton Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
8/10/2021 - conviction buy Likes this wine: 92 pointsPnp, ruby in color, a surge of mixed berries aroma with oak in parallel. Plenty of red and dark fruits on palate with ample acidity that coupled well with oak which tannin is rather mellow already. Sweet fruit in after taste, lovely sample and should age well. |

2007 Domaine Dujac Bonnes MaresBonnes Mares Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
7/20/2021 - conviction buy wrote: flawedDrink over a span of few hour, color is deep garnet, floral, red fruits and oak on nose. Concentration picked up as more time contact with air. Balanced palate of red fruits and residual of oak. Past its prime? I would say not, give it more time, enjoyable now but like 2004, they could be full of surprise. More pefumed than sheer power, same as Mugnier's that I tasted before. 2007 is better thn 2008. |

7/15/2021 - conviction buy Likes this wine: 92 pointsPnp, bright garnet in color, stemmy nose with strawberry/cranberry aroma which I adore a lot, a personal preference. Quite concentrated on palate, good acidity with mild sweet fruits and oak, tannin evolving and quite approachable. Hint of hawthorn and the acidity renders the wine very enjoyable im a perfect harmony. Definitely punching above its weight as a premium cru. Entering drinking window. |

6/16/2021 - conviction buy Likes this wine: 92 pointsPnp, light straw yellow in color. Perfumed aroma of yellow fruits, so strong that there is no trace of oak until one tasted on palate where a perfect balance of fruit acidity, oak tannin all evolved into a perfectly balanced sensation. Not a single hint of fatness but all finesse, in impeccable drinking window now. Bravo !! |

2015 Lucien Le Moine Meursault 1er Cru CharmesChardonnay more |
5/20/2021 - conviction buy Likes this wine: 91 pointsPnp with a pale yellow tint. Slightly reductive nose of burnt rubber that waft off after a while, creamy yellow fruits aroma with mineral stink. Almost bitter and flinty on palate, good concentration, salty and minerality fill the mouth, with good citrus fruits as balance. Good length and yhere is room to evolve. |
