Little more advanced than a very youthful bottle we had a couple weeks ago...more doughy yeast, salted caramels...but still pretty killer with crisp lemon citrus, flowers, creamy mousse, crushed minerals. Love it!

Creamy earthy mousse, slight sherry...to go with the fresh lemon, ginger, tiny sea air bubbles. Quite nice.

Great minerality here...chalky, fresh citrus, little spearmint waxness, crushed shells...nice.

Had next to the Clos...big sulfur funk at first...but gave way to some really nice lemon blossom, chalk dust, fresh citrus.....the funk integrated nicely for me later on in the night, but slightly preferred the Les Clos.

Rich and alive pit fruit, match strike, smoke, chalk....had super length, plenty of fresh citrus and minerals to go along with the richness...super!

Nice red fruit, spice...soft feel...little smoked cherry, skin tartness....nice, but a little ho hum compared to better vintages of this.

Bright acid, cherry skin...super creamy balance of sweet fruit, big earth spice, some smoky stems..liked this a lot.

Lovely flowers, dried potpourri....dark red berry fruit, lifted with a little blood orange acidity...is this Barolo? ;-) Like it a lot!

More earth mulch to this than the cdlr also had...exotic spices, dusty, beautiful pure fruit.

Mag.....dark fruit still, rich earth, chocolate, deep smoke, spice...still quite youthful...fresh and tasty dark red berry fruit....perfect sweetness of fruit to structure...but could go quite a bit longer. great bottle!

Mag.....Beautiful silky candied red berry fruit, very bright and zippy cherry skin acidity, pretty floral spices, amazing cream and brightness..elegant...tasty!

Soft red fruits...nice spice, leather...alive kick of acidity, some dry tannins...could use even more time.

Cherry, raspberry fruit...earthy compost, nice dusty spices....mellow feel.

He come's the DRC flight(ech,rsv,tache)....amazing nose's! The ech drinking extremely well...slightly better than the rsv....deep exotic spice, berry liqueur fruit, great balance, smooth feel, dusty white pepper spice kick finish.

Along with the ech and tache...the rsv has the gorgeous exotic spice, soft silky liqueured berries...but a little deeper coffee, darker spice, to it. Wanted more time with this...but the LT was calling....

WOW! Had along with the ech and rsv...as soon as my nose hit the glass...WOW! Huge wave of exotic spice, perfect fruit, fresh earth, dried leaves...the deepest spice...so powerful, yet smooth and broad. Just gorgeous!

Lighter candied red fruit..bright strawberry, vosne spice....little red wine vinegar to it? Didn't help this wine...as we just had a flight of 00 drc's prior.

Nice dryness, still pretty young...tasty berry fruit, deep dusty floral spice, little mushroom...tasty!

Amazing trio of 93's(Drouhin RSV, DRC LT)...best nose of the night! Flowers jump from the glass...cold smoke, liqueur berry fruit, plum, cherry...intoxication.

Along with 93 Dujac CSD and DRC LT....just a fantastic set of 93's! SO SO pretty...strawberry shortcake, sweet spice, flowers, old leather....so smooth, yet still solid. 93 believer!

Paired with 93 Drouhin RSV and Dujac CSD.....an amazing set of 93's! Again..pretty is the word....tons of spice, rich yet delicate berry fruit, exotic, haunting. Just a slight nod to the 00 LT earlier though.

Off the list at RN74...what a treat! Pnp...could have used some air...first thing I wrote was "dusty old wine cellar". Aged delicate bright strawberry, watermelon, tart raspberry fruit....tilled strawberry field, dusty spice, wet leaves...some sous bois, leather. Still quite alive...but really hanging by a thread.

Along side 04/08 Leflaive Pucelles....this 01 showing a little more age than the Leflaives.....rich honeyed, pit fruit, match strike...but still pretty good citrus and crushed mineral.

Trio of Pucelles(01 J. Boillot, 08 Leflaive)...Super bottle...big sulfur funk up front...match smoke, chalk, dried honey spice, white flowers...plenty of crushed minerals and fresh citrus to handle the rich fruit and funk! Loved this!

Coupled with the 04, and a 01 Jean Boillot...the 08 was really fresh and clean...not much match stick, more sea breeze, very chalky with minerals, bright lemon acid...refreshingly tasty...but should age well too.

Loaded with minerals....golden sea water...ripe yellow fruit, rich spice, honey, fresh yet substantial....would have loved to nurse on this awhile.

Little ox on this one...slight sherry, nuts....did have some nice pit fruit, crushed stone, squeeze of lime, mellow feel. Just ok.

Soft, little doughy, delicate lemon, white peach fruit, salted caramel...didn't do much for me.

Beautiful nose....pretty dried flower spice, earth tones...little acidic, tart skin on the palate...but might have been just me.

Another super tasting 01 Ramonet! Spearmint came out later on as the wine warmed...fresh lemon/lime crystal clear fruit...lite flint strike, crunchy minerals....clean, pure, totally unique mint note Ramonet...but more faint than Chevy or Batard....Would have loved to drink this whole bottle...but alas I was only spitting. ;-(

Delicate red berry fruit...tea leaves, dried flowers, tart freshness....would have liked to have spent more time on this.

This is where my weekend came to an end...I have this wine written down in my note book...but no notes. Due to a long night prior....I was pretty much done. Too bad because I love Bertheau. From what I remember...classic Bertheau rustic and pretty......Jon, I tried drinking this one...spat everything else this day! 91 looks to be drinking just fine here.
