  • 1996 R. & L. Legras Champagne Grand Cru Saint-Vincent 95 Points

    Powerful bread notes on the nose but still restrained and tightly wound. Still quite intense.
    Plenty of fresh green apples on the palate with a pretty harsh and young acidity. Still remains quite elegant but well structured.
    A slight bitterness on the finish which is long and pronounced.
    Loved it! 95-96p

    Primary nose with sweet strawberries and a little vanilla.

  • 2002 Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts 94 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru

    Spicy nose with thyme but also some chlorine and a little raspberry. Very pure nose with also some rose petals.
    The palate is elegant and the flavors are primarily raspberry and rose petals. It does however seem to dry out a little bit which could be from excessive oak influence.
    There is however a solid clean structure and nice minerality.

  • 2002 Domaine Ponsot Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes 97 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

    Sweet raspberry nose with a deep and intense profile. It is very fruit heavy and also shows a little dark plums and glue.
    The palate is just crazy and simply razor sharp while still being extremely well structured. Plenty of fruit but not extracted in any way. Almost creamy raspberries that are slightly spices. Some white pepper.
    A very long and clean aftertaste..
    Simply a stunning wine!!

    Full-bodied but still very fresh on the palate. A very stringent acidity but a heavy and full aftertaste.
