  I didn't take notes but it's hard to forget how expressive the nose was - lots of spice. Drinking great now but not hurry.

  Side by side Eche, GE and Tache 08 from the Domaine. Very strong showing for RSV (I would say just pipped by GE and possibly preferred RSV to Tache today), very pale in colour, a very delicate and soft scent of rose petals emmenating from the glass. Very serene, super interpretation of the vineyard and top pinot. Should be wonderous in time with a bit more sweetness to come on the mid-palate and warrant another point. As for GE I would think hold and drink 2035-2050.

  Exquisite! The nose is to die for. Lots of DRC stems/whole cluster goodness and spice, fruit still in tact - lots of cool red fruit - I would say 08 is on the classic side. Powerful and sensual at the same time. Ethereal - glides on the palate and just lights up every square nanometer of your mouth with hits of flavor. The inner mouth aromatics are astonishing. The flavor persistence is most impressive - I had a few sips while cooking and the finish just kept going, like you can taste the wines after many minutes between sips, heady aromatics, just gorgeous. Perfect Christmas dinner wine.

  It was given 5-6 hour of aeration before serving. It had a sexy and intoxicating nose with DRC stems, sweet red fruit, perfume, and flowers. On the palate, it was airy and expressive with lots of complexity. It kept getting better in the glass. Tonight, it was the consensus WOTN against 01,02 and 10 RSV. 96-97

  Super expressive nose and palate with loads of spice and red fruit. Nice stem note. Like the LT, this is pale in color but full of flavor. Not sure how this will age.
