France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Lots of ripe stone fruit aromas, still very fresh and also powerful. Still showing a bit of new oak, but in balance with all the other robust components coming through here. Long, powerful in every way.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru
I've had very consistent and positive experiences with this wine. It is, as always, lush and slightly more tropical to start than classic Chevalier, but then showing energy and finesse from middle to finish. Still just adolescent in its evolution.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Sensational spice aromatic start with lots of mature red fruit, wonderfully floral. Forward and very charming flavors, much like the nose. Very easy to enjoy today, slightly light on acidity so I would expect this won't evolve much further from here. Wonderful spice.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
Alluring and perfumed start that really showcases whole cluster. Lots of red fruit aromas and flavors that are well supported with lots of edge and energy. Better with food than on its own, and I expect this will be better in a few years than it is right now.
