11/12/2021 - Dave Dalluge wrote: NRI'm so glad I only bought one bottle of this. I was one of the first to taste this from barrel in 2006 and thought it was stunning. What I tasted last night was incomprehensible and undrinkable. I bought this on release and have been cellaring it ever since. I presume it is representative of other bottles but have no desire to find out for sure. |

4/19/2021 - Dave Dalluge wrote: 92 pointsNo notes taken, but his is in a really good place. Silky smooth on the palate with an elegant burst of fruit. Balanced. Elegant. Likely at peak now, but should hold fine for at least 5 more years. |

1/25/2021 - Dave Dalluge wrote: 92 pointsNo notes taken but this was beautiful. Complex nose. Elegant but impactful on the palate. Great finish. The complete package! This is in a great place right now and I don't see it improving much from here. |

2001 Bodegas Mauro Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León Vendimia SeleccionadaTempranillo more |
1/17/2021 - Dave Dalluge wrote: 94 pointsThis was a pop and pour during a party so I couldn't take any notes, but this was stunning. Soaring nose, expansive on the palate and an amazing lingering finish. Much silkier than my last bottle (in 2006), but still so, so young with significant tannin. Crazy, but oh so good! |

12/21/2020 - Dave Dalluge wrote: 91 pointsPopped and poured. From magnum. Really impressive from the moment opened. Great nose of fresh fruit. Equally great on the palate with a distinct licorice note that was very pleasant. I would opt to be drinking these over the next year or so. |

2004 Calera Pinot Noir Ryan VineyardMount Harlan more |
12/16/2020 - Dave Dalluge wrote: 93 pointsPop and pour. No notes taken, but Lars1014 nailed it with his note (not the same bottle). This well cellared bottle is in a perfect place right now. I see no need to hold remaining bottles any longer! I'll hold my remaining bottle in case the globetrotting Lars1014 is ever back in our fly-over neighborhood. |

1964 Pico della Mirandola BaroloNebbiolo more |
11/30/2020 - Dave Dalluge wrote: 92 pointsPop and pour. No notes taken, but this was drinking very well. Light on the palate but showing nice red fruit. Smooth, satisfying finish. This was obviously a well cared for bottle. Paired very well with the homemade ravioli with shaved white truffles. |

2/14/2020 - Dave Dalluge wrote: 93 pointsServed this for Valentines Day. No notes taken, but this was quite impressive. Pretty, pale red color. Beguiling nose. Really impressive on the palate -- lithe and balanced but palate coating. My only bottle, and apparently no longer available from the winery. |

10/27/2019 - Dave Dalluge wrote: 92 pointsPopped and poured. No notes taken, but this was quite expressive and most enjoyable from the moment it was opened. Drinking really well right now, but should hold at this level (or improve) for a few more years. |

10/17/2019 - Dave Dalluge wrote: 92 pointsMEA Celebration at St. Genevieve (St. Genevieve): Nico's bonus bottle. Popped and poured. I took no notes at this point, but this was quite impressive. We served this with dessert and it worked well. The sweetness was well balanced with acidity and was a fitting end to a great dinner. |

2010 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Chambertin-Clos de BèzeChambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
10/17/2019 - Dave Dalluge wrote: 99 pointsMEA Celebration at St. Genevieve (St. Genevieve): Double decanted prior to dinner. Pretty ruby red color. Soaring nose of red cherry, damp earth, mineral, and so much more. Absolutely spectacular. Equally amazing on the palate, with perfect balance and a silky smooth texture. Amazing flavor intensity dominated by red fruit from the attack through the long, satisfying finish. Complex and beguiling throughout. This is about as good as wine can get. See the note from Chablis28 for a more complete tasting note. This bottle disappeared almost immediately. Thanks to Brad for sharing this beauty with us. |

10/17/2019 - Dave Dalluge wrote: 93 pointsMEA Celebration at St. Genevieve (St. Genevieve): Pop and pour. Craig's "bonus" bottle. Minimal notes on this one. Expressive nose. Crisp and clean on the palate with good minerality, great balance, nice acidity, and a long pleasing finish. Held its own in a flight of first rate White Burgs. Thanks Craig! |

2016 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault 1er Cru CharmesChardonnay more |
10/17/2019 - Dave Dalluge wrote: 95 pointsMEA Celebration at St. Genevieve (St. Genevieve): Double decanted prior to dinner. This started closed and understated. After about 20 minutes in the glass it was showing very well, but got better and better as the night wore on. Awesome, beguiling nose of fresh fruit and mineral with intriguing notes of licorice, herbs, and spice (and more) mixed in. Fresh and elegant. Perfect, effortless weight on the palate. Expansive and intense flavors despite the seeming weightlessness. Perfectly balanced. Long, satisfying finish. This has all you would want and expect from Lafon. |

2016 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Corton-CharlemagneCorton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay more |
10/17/2019 - Dave Dalluge wrote: 93 pointsMEA Celebration at St. Genevieve (St. Genevieve): Double decanted prior to dinner. Deep golden color. Stern nose with fruit, herbs and mineral. Opened up with time in the glass, but never became as expressive as other wines in the flight. Ripe and palate coating in the mouth. Larger scaled and showing some oak, balanced by just enough acidity. Great, lingering finish. Showing very well now, but likely the wine in this flight most in need of additional time in the cellar. |
