  Really amazing nose. the typical mix of great fruit, stems and polished oak hints creating DRC signature nose. Hints of mints and spice. Very long, clean, deep. In an excellent spot to drink now.

  Another Wine gathering at RJ’s; 4/4/2024-4/7/2024 (Palmetto Bluff, South Carolina): En magnum. Exquisitely perfumed nose displaying perfectly ripe black and red fruit, blackberry, raspberry, Vosne spice, classic DRC stem, a hint of sous bois, rose petal, licorice, spicy spices and mineral. Excellent concentration, incredibly layered opulent yet pure black fruit, rich yet perfectly harmonious, beautifully detailed and weightless, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, and a long pure black fruit driven finish with stem and rose petal at the end. This is drinking perfectly. This can easily improve for a couple more decades.

  Richebourg and Meursault: Opened an hour before pouring. Very delicate and unctuous. Didn't have the signature DRC nose upfront. Some commented it seemed more developed than expected for its age. I agree, but I like the development. Lifted red fruit and silky tannins. Had more of the DRC signature on the finish. Not the WOTN by any means but a very enjoyable drink.

  Expectation is always high when it comes to prestigious Domaines. With that in mind, this is still an outperforming 2006 that is ageing gracefully with barely any peppery note. Fragrant red berries, strawberries, sweet rose petals and sleek mineral undertone. Delineated with fine-grained tannins, really well-integrated and poised. Many 2006 reds have tertiary notes of wet autumn leaves and musty earth scents, this however is clean and primary. Hint of tertiary note of dry aged ham intertwined with the sweet stem note. In my opinion this is at a great stage to enjoy now, slightly saturated with touch of maturity, but plenty of freshness and floral notes left in the tank. Effortless finish, delicious. (93-94/100)

  We had it blind against a 2006 richebourg from Meo, the magic of DRC wines is that they always make wine that have such a finesse and delicatesse , this is really their trade mark ! pffff every time I'm blown away, and yes the nose is like really how only french pinot can smell, it is razor sharp and at the same time so delicate, it had this nice red fruit like cherry but not to sweet , so when the structure in the mouth is also from the same level , this make the wine have such a great great balance, I'm sure the terroir is the magic that made this wine too have this quality , we , I'm so lucky !
