4/14/2024 - larsth wrote: 92 pointsAs other tasters mention - this is drinking fine now in its early drinking window with softer and more mature notes of both dark and red fruits.It is still a powerful wine but it has a mineral spine to keep the balance. |

2020 Domaine de la Cras (Marc Soyard) Bourgogne Blanc Coteaux de DijonChardonnay more |
4/10/2024 - larsth wrote: NRMurky, rustic and a bit oxidised. Notes of very ripe apples and ample acidity. Finish with some bitterness. It has some "vin naturel" traits which is not my favorite style but it will certainly appeal to some. |

2011 Domaine Drouhin-Laroze MusignyMusigny Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
4/1/2024 - larsth wrote: 93 pointsConcerned about the vintage, I opened the first out of 6. No green notes here - at least for me. It is dark, deep and concentrated with mainly primary fruit. It has a focused mineral backbone to keep a fine balance and tension. It is very long. I was thinking more Bonnes Mares than Musigny due to its muscular presence rather than elegance at this point. It needs time and will probably merit a higher score by then. |

2017 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Crozes-Hermitage Domaine de ThalabertSyrah more |
3/30/2024 - larsth wrote: 90 pointsI really like where this is now with its clean and mostly primary Syrah fruit profile. Fine balance with fine tannins and although not particularly deep this a fine glass now. This is a Northern Rhone that I would drink now while letting the higher end bottles from this vintage rest. There is no rush though. |

2015 San Giusto a Rentennano Chianti Classico Riserva Le BaroncoleChianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more |
3/13/2024 - larsth wrote: 92 pointsThis is a rich chianti with a ripe dark fruit profile. Notes of cherry, plum, tomato and some herbs. This is still young with noticeable tannins. It needs a decant and some air to open up. |

3/8/2024 - larsth wrote: 93 pointsFirst bottle sadly premoxed. Second bottle was very good. CC depth and concentration with a touch of ripe yellow tropical fruit. It has a mineral spine to keep the balance. At peak now. |

2/23/2024 - larsth wrote: 92 pointsConsistent with note from 2019 and it has evolved further and like many other 2008's it is in a good spot now. Gorgeous pinot nose and very tasty with lovely mature red fruits and some sous bois flavours although it lacks depth to be great. |

2019 Freeman Pinot Noir Sonoma Coastmore |

2011 Domaine des Chezeaux Griotte-Chambertin PonsotGriotte-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
2/19/2024 - larsth wrote: 91 pointsThis is hardly GC quality in this vintage. Red-fruited, delicate and medium-bodied with no noticeable green notes, but it lacks the depth and tension normally attributed to this vineyard. It is probably at its peak now. |

2/7/2024 - larsth wrote: 93 pointsQuintessential Puligny with flinty, stony, citrus, apple and pear notes. Medium bodied with superb balance and nerve. It is still on the young side and should improve from here although nice now. |
