2005 Domaine Thomas-Moillard Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux MalconsortsPinot Noir more |
2/2/2024 - Sonoma Duck Likes this wine: 94 pointsBought 30 bottles of this on release. It was rough and rustic but I thought it would come through with plenty of time. It is now a "wow" wine at least for me. Perfect cork, perfumed nose explodes from the glass. Medium to light ruby. Probably at or close to full maturity now. Delicious with a long, long finish. |

1/20/2024 - Sonoma Duck Likes this wine: NRI felt like a really fine burgundy last night and I opened this one up. All I forgot was that I have had a cold all week and been sucking on Cold Eze which has eliminated most of my taste buds. Oh well........... |

12/17/2023 - Sonoma Duck Likes this wine: 94 pointsCork broke but the day was saved by an Ah-So. Medium ruby, decanted for 45 minutes. Perfumed nose explodes from the glass. Elegant with a long finish. For my taste, this is now fully mature but in no danger of going over the hill. Harley 1199 tag, you are up. |

11/24/2023 - Sonoma Duck Likes this wine: 92 pointsI have worked through a case of this with just one left. Yesterday was my weakest performance. Most of the tannins resolved. Seemed a bit ripe and fat and unlike a fine burgundy. Oh well......... |

3/24/2023 - Sonoma Duck Likes this wine: 93 pointsDecanted for one hour. Medium ruby, aromatic nose. This wine has started to drop its baby fat, becoming long, lean and elegant. Just entering a drinking window and should drink well for many years IMHO. |
