Bitter oak acid dominates over vineyard. 87?

Glossy nose, somewhat unbalanced on palate, slight sweet finish. 90

Nose is very Noellat, deep and pretty, but palate is slightly disjointed and bitter. 89

Toasted almonds, tasted quite aged compared to vintage, mild spicy palate. 91

Sour? Underlying wine is complex, spicy and slightly sweet. 92-93

So rich and layered, great black fruit, so much potential. 95+

Incredible elegance, precision, sweetness and backward heat. Fully resolved and so balanced. 96

Good balance and weight, nice sweetness.

Prominent acid and oak. 91

Great array of bouquet, very smooth tannin, lovely texture. 94

Lovely array of floral spice, not a powerhouse but decently fresh. Great old school. 94

Nice pronounced acid, quite characteristic, despite lower than vintage showing. 93-94

Not a lot of depth but very concentrated and nice extract. 92

A lot more open, some broken acid, good Vosne heat. 92

054/899. A little disjointed for now. Not showing much. NR

Nice vintage heat and acid, slightly thin for BM. 92

Fresh, too young to judge. NR

Magnum. Good individual aspects, trying to come together. 91+

Ripe, characteristic vintage acid, lean. 91

Good showing, pretty lean. 90

Brighter fruit, longer and more glossy. 92

Sweet, good depth and precise layers. 94

Interestingly fresh, not the spice from Burgundy but quite similar to Pinot. 89

Somewhat thin as vintage, acid pronounced and not the weightiest BM. Still excellent. 95+

Pronounced vintage acid, flat compared to appellation. 93

Different style, but nice old school balance. Prefer this slightly to the 1999. 94

1681/4080. Somehow quite acidic but not oxidized. Maybe just too young? Underlying wine is good depth. Hard to rate.

Tasted, not remembering much.

Great depth and concentration. 95+

1269/3220. Acid very characteristic to vintage, just good. 93

Not as tired as I remember, but also not giving much. 91-92

Tasted.

Tasted.

Isn’t this a surprise — showing great pedigree. Not as concentrated as Domaine Corton but greatly resolved clarity. Very enjoyable. 94

Jayer wine, Jayer nose, palate good but somewhat thinner compared to non-filtered powerhouse.

Drinking well, nice tannin. 92-93

Drinking great, so smooth and structured. Great vintage rendition. 94-95

Made by Papa Fourrier, old school, good balance, less extracted. 92?

GC weight, bright fruit, nice extract, somehow less interesting than CSJ. 92

Great vintage profile, GC weight, still prefer CSJ. 93+

This is great, exemplary Richebourg. Different from current Meo style but equally enjoyable. 94-95

02587/15537. Very vintage, somewhat soft, enjoyable. 93

Very open, energetic, beyond appellation weight. 93

Weighty, lovely concentration. 93

206/300. Very bright but toned, great balance, expanding on palate. 94

Even denser, still too young. Great wine. 93-94+

Corked.

Feel oxidized.

Stated as MSD 1er. Corked.

Corked.

Magnum. Great for Vogue. 93-94

Great vintage profile and weight. 93

PnP blind. 95? 90? Clearly great vintage profile, yet to unfold. 93

Great rich and buttery profile and it holds. 93

Great array and broadness. 94

Less weight than Charmes, but somehow wider on the palate. Equally great. 94

Magnum. Wow this was amazing, so fresh and powerful just miles beyond vintage. 94

Green as usual. More expressive than Chambertin served alongside. 93-94

Two bottles, both showing great sexy vintage acid. Pretty. 94

Quite high acid, a little unbalanced but not oxidized as initially thought. Turns out to be quite enjoyable. 92

Great as always, consistent performer.

Also green, but enjoyable. Less showy than Beze this time. 93

Corked...

Weight is under for GC, some stem. 92

Still young, not giving much. Concentration is very much there. 94+ potential on this bottle.

Incredible bouquet, great deep core with depth and backward heat. 95

Vintage acid prominent, starting to display Rousseau aromas. Very well made vintage, of course! 93

Nose has a very pretty hue, extracted red fruit, medical on the palate. 92

Just great spice, bouquet, balance and sweetness. 94

Just great clarity and lovely all around. 95

Rich, buttery, oaky and bitter. 91

Sour and unbalanced. 87

Lots of oak, buttery, bitter side among sweetness. 91

Ripe, bright, toned oak underneath, good depth. 92-93

000593. Amazing clarity and sweetness, so big, so structured, still too young. 95+

00836/3322. Slightly advanced but salvaged with time in decanter. Really fine and detailed, immense finesse of power underneath, bright fruit, great harmony. 95-96

Hue of tuoasted nuts, dried tangerine, fresh bouquet, lightly roasted meat. Just incredibly elegant, energetic and deep, with a sense of sweetness at its core. Truly excellent. 96-97

On the sweet and bland side, not super precise just big. 92

Premox. Château and Estate label. Shame for 2001.

Aged but not tired, great density, stony fruit, some brightness. 93

So rich, with finesse from ageing. Peppermint, ripe white fruit, not at all overripe/tropical common to white wines of this vintage, great balance. Tremendous energy, long finish with beautiful acidity. Profound and complex, intricate layers. Bullied the 1989 Ruchottes on its side with youth. 95

Bitter, balancing. 89

01309/4134. Graceful wine, stunning spicy nose with such a breath of depth. Palate falls short and bitter. 92-93

Young, but already showing very signature spice box and depth. 93+

PnP, really catching up on weigh and spice with some time. This vintage is drinking really well; I quite liked Meo's rendition on it. Head to toe with Richebourg the night before (both excellent). 94+

Needs a lot of time, keeps unfolding on the palate. Great layers and energy. 94-95+

Again packed with spice. 93-94

Quite structured holding well. 91

Getting petty tired.

Supple, well-aged and super balanced. 95

Slightly corked, but the wine is great. The mature Bordeaux pedigree. 96++

Glossy, super fine, very nice. 95

Great backward heat, very nice balance, so smooth tannin. 95

Pedigree wine, structured but ethereally clean. 95+

Just incredibly fresh, some breath of spice and sweetness coming out. 92

2135/5807. Much more open than 02, some supple tannin, great backward heat, will be amazing with time. 94+

00259/2428. Gamey blend? First open was great and displayed some Leroy weight, although this declined quickly into acid. 91-

00542/12955. Some light vintage weight, sweet and enjoyable. 93

00812/10910. Drinking well, good balance. 93

00055/16921. Muscular, powerful, still pretty defined underneath. 93

04178/24867. Vintage characteristic still present, but masculine and precise. 94

Looks like it’s from 2010s, just incredibly fresh, developing and with good balance. Dark fruit very nice. Thanks Nicholas. 93
