Super enjoyable. A touch sweeter than expected, very nice acidity, minute amount of petrol/plastic.

One of my favorite D&R's so far (young now) but really, really fun to drink

Not a big fan - overly oxidized, gave me a bad headache on both evenings

Richer that most DNR wines. Really opened up in decanter after 30 minutes or so, which this wine needs. Very, very enjoyable after that.

First bottle corked, second bottle oxidized. Nice.

Corked. Bummer.

9/5/2013 - jwsobeck Does not like this wine:

Can't say I really enjoyed this one, unlike the Bel Air. Too floppy and tropical. Realize it's not classic Chablis, but too far out there for chardonnay that I like to drink.

8/20/2013 - jwsobeck Likes this wine:

Great bang for the buck. Melon. Anise. A real pleasurable drank.

Killer if you like Jura oxidized style.

Interesting Chablis, for sure. Enjoyed it.

6/11/2013 - jwsobeck Does not like this wine:

Eh. Maybe needs a lot of time.

A little tired. Totally fine, but a little below expectation.

Liked it well enough, but not my style of Burg. More interesting aromas than palate, which was rich and heavy, with more wood than I like. Absolutely wouldn't pay the price again.

Fan-fucking-tastic.

3/29/2013 - jwsobeck wrote:

A disappointing bottle. Nothing like the first one I had. Smelled great, but lacked any mid-palate or finish. No acid. Watery.

Oh man, so good, wish I had more..

12/16/2012 - jwsobeck Likes this wine:

Cork looked scary, and I was worried because my previous bottle was corked. However, this one was very pleasant. Happy with the buy around $30. Easy to drink. Not very complex, but nice.

11/14/2012 - jwsobeck wrote:

Very corked. Pity, my only other bottles was very interesting, a great buy at < $20. Damn.

11/14/2012 - jwsobeck wrote:

Can't get enough of these. So good. Rich mouthfeel. Not as lees-ey as the newer vintages. Just so balanced and interesting.

11/14/2012 - jwsobeck wrote:

Darn good value. Not a stunner, but happy with it's showing at $80. Could have used more time in decanter (about 1 hour) to open up, but it's nice and pretty and decent acid with some positing aging beginning to come through. Nice buy.

10/30/2012 - jwsobeck wrote:

Fine, not too sweet, nothing wrong but doesn't leave a strong impression at $60.

10/26/2012 - jwsobeck wrote:

Gross. So sweet. Didn't expect it to be this unbalanced.

10/26/2012 - jwsobeck wrote:

Vibrant nose, lots of fruit and lemon, tart acid on the body, hit of fruit up front which fades quickly, none of the lasting power of a higher caliber Burg, but a fine village. I wouldn't pay $80 for it again. Nor would I pay $60. So I guess, I wouldn't buy it again at all.

This took a bad turn after only 5-10 mins of being open. Tasted of honey tequila. Not good.

10/6/2012 - jwsobeck wrote:

Lost it's edge, thin and tart. Not much going on.

5/27/2012 - jwsobeck wrote:

Still real tight and powerful. Maybe a bit green. Opened up a decent amount after being open an hour or two and became more enjoyable and slightly interesting.

I should have bought a case.

Kickass Bordeaux. Ripe at first. Then tea leaf. Red fruit. Excellent.

Great nose. Meaty, rich, cedar, layered. Didn't love the palate though - too smooth and vanilla for me. A little tart and chewy tannins. Not a huge disappointment, but I wouldn't buy again.

May be cooked. Deep purple, jammy, not enjoyable.

Still kicking! Not a stunner, but showed well. Ripe plums, good acid, moderately rich color. Nothing like old Burg.

Tons of wood, but a very fine wine, drunk too young. But too scared of premox to hold onto it. Not sure I'd spend the money again.

5/31/2011 - jwsobeck wrote:

Was excited to try this, but was not into this bottle. Seemed slightly off, or just disjointed. Odd cotton candy sweetness I couldn't get past.

3/24/2011 - jwsobeck wrote:

medium straw color, crisp, clean, but more enjoyable with a chill on it. A little oaky but not out of balance. Nice spice. Enjoyed this, would buy again.

a light colored, bright fruit, fun to drink, grenache based existential journey. really like this wine.

2/9/2011 - jwsobeck wrote:

little worried by a moldy cork, but ended up being awesome. straw color, spice, a little heavy on the acid side vs fruit but I don't mind that, delicious. Decent value for what it is at $109 too.

Drank my second bottle of this, wish I had more. Good value @ 60 I think. Neither were oxidized, lucky I guess. Rich yellow color now. Lot of acid still, spiced fruit, moderate finish length. Have always enjoyed the Clos de Mouches (last had the 07 and thoroughly enjoyed that too), need to seek out other vintages.

still razer sharp, lovely nose with more than a hint of spice and vanilla. Great mouthfeel, tons of acid. Love this style, really like this wine.

Popped and poured, subtle nose, maybe would have opened up more over time. Silky and superbly balanced, not overpowering but intriguing. Wish I had a few hours to hang out with this wine, but we moved on to others in our tasting.
