Fresh and elegant with crisp acidity. Not a big wine, but very typical of Ramonet with all elements pointing in his direction.

Great and ready to drink now. Opened four hours in advance, decanted just before serving blind to guest, next to Graillot Guiraude 2010.
This started very tertiary and then faded a bit on the nose. Never really came back, even with air. Taste was good and intense, showing much more depth. Very meaty and with nice dried fruit and rose leaves. Long and fresh on the palate, without being heavy in any sense. A lovely glass of wine, but not a blockbuster vintage or wine. Drink up, within the next 5 years.

Fantastic showing for this wine. Opened four hours in advance for small taste. Decanted just before serving blind to guest, nex to Allemand Cornas Chaillot 2011.
Surprisingly young with deep red color. The nose was primary fruit, both red and black. Notes of garriques and black peber coming around. Floral and then the meaty backbone. Came together in the glass and the fruit was really precise and clean. Still fine potential, if I had more I would keep until 2027 before next bottle.

Fantastic balance and a wine just hitting it's window. Good clean fruit with some added tertiary aromas and a nice length. Shows Morey style and very typical for Lignier.

Fresh and lively style with crushed red fruit and long finish. Not that compolex, but lovely style that we always appreciate.
pop and pour, which was a good idea. It developed nicely for a couple of hours. As always the last glass was the best.

Fine clean Rioja with developing notes. Not a big wine, but well made. The last bottles will stay at this level for another five years probably.,

Great wine with multiple layers. Very meaty in style, with black fruit and schist to compliment it. Long finish and surprisingly elegant.

Fantastic balance. Mature now, but no way near getting tired. Very complex with dark fruit and some tertiary aromas.

Jumps right out of the glass, easy to drink, easy to appreciate. But, if you give it time you will be rewarded. I tasted this over five hours, in different glasses. It needs air but still shows great. Precise fruit, som nuttiness from the oxidation and nice little bread-note from the maturation. This is all yellow fruit and high acidity now. I will keep my hands off for another five years, if possible. 96 with potential for more.

Fine, but too thin and watery.

From MG. Really a fantastic wine with plenty of life. Started with lots of fresh red fruit, some spices and then the tertiary aromas started growing. After two hours it found its place with mostly tertiary, but still some fresh fruit. Good length and freshness.
Drink before 2025

Makes no sense that this wine is so good. This might be one of the best bargains in the world of wine. Still young and with potential after 11 years. This wine is an entry level wine, showing above its weight.

Clean fruit, precise aromas and a fresh acidity. Medium + length.

Starting to unfold now after 11 years. I would still prefer to see this again in at least another five years.
Good balance and the acidity has loosened its grip on the fruit that opens more up.

Really singing right now and starting to show tertiary aromas. Lots of honny and flowers, and off course orange. Good clean style. Long finish.

A pleasure to drink this now, even though it is still too young. Keep for another decade or five :-)

Over the top. Cooked plums and no structure left.

Almost too much, but still remaining a little fresh fruit. Black cherry, licorice and stones all over the place. 15 % was enough, my guest said: Port?

Alive and evolving during the night. Next day the wine was almost oxidised and gone.
First day was dancing with red fruit, some spices and a nice crisp finish.

Tight and not ready. It's the new style of Meursault, not so creamy but fantastic precision and intensity. Clean and very fine style. Lacking complexity to gain more points.
Keep until 2025 and forward

Good power as expected. Impressive freshness and lightness. Not super typical for an Amarone, but really a great wine. Keeps on working in the glass, showing strong personality.

High fruit intensity. Cool climate fruit, balanced with oak. Tannins is medium+ but not too dominant.

Very creamy texture with a lot of oak present at the moment. This is a young beast, that I think will develope into a beatifull wine. There is a lot of fruit to balance the oak, so for me the heavy oak is ok. Serve it blind and cold...

Very elegant with a mature bouquet. Secondary notes of leather, but most dominant is cherry. On the palate the wine is light, with high acidity and some thin harsh tannins on the backpalate. This is drying out, and really not showing well. Expected more volume and creamy texture from a supposedly good Chambolle.

Outstanding Quality. Served blind to a group who a very fund of French wine. Nobody guessed out of Europe! This has the level of a great white Burg. Penetrating acidity with enormous focus on the fruit. Peach, pineapple and fresh apples. Very long and lingering finish.

So elegant and reminds me of Puligny with bubbles. Nice smoke aromas. Exotic fruit and nice creamy finish. Very soft fruit that seem to come from a pretty high dosage. But well balanced.
