  Taken to a friend’s house to celebrate to celebrate NYE. Incredibly concentrated boysenberry and blueberry with a long finish. Some plum and emerging green pepper. Superb balance and up there with bottles of 2000 Trotanoy we have had recently (96-97). However, unlike the 2000 Trotany which is in prime time this bottle of 2010 L’Eglise Clinet seems too young and would be better in a number of years. 97/100

  This is up there with the great wines of my favorite vintage in this century. Densely concentrated and deeply pitched, you have boysenberry and tar, pencil shavings and ash. Finish lasting for minutes. A fabulous bordeaux to hold. But you might leave it alone for 2-3 decades before it’s really ready.

  Big, intense & super primary. Morello cherry the dominant note. Really young, probably best 2035+

  "90th" Joint Birthday: Big nose and palate here. Perfumed and plush with cranberry, violets, dark plum and cherry. The palate has plenty of acid to keep things fresh, though this is still remarkably dense. Somehow finds balance, this will develop for many decades to come.

  Was quite funny because this insane wine lulled us into insecurity and threw us into titanic heights.
  Decanted and poured after and hour. Delicous. Wonderful and balanced and gorgeous but unspectacular.
  Banged it against some ribeye steak and oh my goodness. It exploded into stratosphere heights. The planets aligned, and stopped, a two minute wine orgasm. 101 points type of stuff. That moment we all chAse.
  And then it was delicious again.
  And then we finished the bottle. replete, exhausted, in awe.
