5/1/2024 - BerkeleyBoy Likes this wine: 93 pointsI thought this was excellent! Light and flavorful. It was given to me by one of my customers and now I'm going out to buy some. My wife even liked it and she does not usually like white wine. |

1/21/2024 - BerkeleyBoy Does not like this wine: 82 pointsThere’s some goodness there, but it’s behind an iron wall of acidic tannins. Needs time and maybe, just maybe, it will emerge. |

11/18/2023 - BerkeleyBoy Likes this wine: 95 pointsThis was an excellent showing; it’s been in my cave for 5 years and got lost in my burgeoning, cramped, too small cellar; still a bit of heat, but it was all there. |

8/6/2023 - BerkeleyBoy Likes this wine: 94 pointsKiller wine since 2020 when we last had it when it was Ho-him. Full bodied with lots of chocolate. Great pairing with beef stir-fry with bell peppers from America’s Test Kitchen, on of our favorite meals. |

2011 Méo-Camuzet Frère et Sœurs Morey St. DenisPinot Noir more |
6/12/2023 - BerkeleyBoy Likes this wine: 92 pointsPnP - very thin at first with a bitterness noted at the sides of my tongue, but it soon opened up. Loretta has been disappointed with some of the older wines I’ve kept. Knowing how much I paid for them, she has not been impressed by the outcome on first sip, but both of us thoroughly enjoyed this bottle. This is how Burgundy should taste. |
