2/27/2024 - vulgar little monkey wrote: 91 pointsThis is the 22nd of 30 bottles of this wine, so I'm not sure what more I had to add to previous notes. The slightly lower score is probably because of a lack of attention. Waxy yellow fruits, density, honey and honeysuckle. I may save a couple of bottles in a dark corner for science, but I'm still full steam ahead on this. |

11/1/1999 - Putnam Weekley Likes this wine: NRI drank this many times in 1999-2000. It was stupifying, like no other thing. Obscenely fat and salty, and breezed with relentless articulated detail. |

2/24/2024 - MikeATL Likes this wine: 92 pointsLight gold color, rich, a little nutty and barely noticeable RS, but still with plenty of acid and lots of life left. I love aged old school Mâcons and this is an example of why. |

12/29/2023 - Putnam Weekley Likes this wine: 90 points<50°F (<10°C) it tastes like "what's the point?" ... sweet alcohol, impacted oak, and otherwise simple, even dull. ~55°F (13°C) acidity and stone flavors begin to rouse. Here is the beginning of suggestive peppermints, conference pears, and limoncello. But only after it energizes to an internal temperature of 62°F (17°C) do I begin to taste savory salts and fats—predominantly nut, raw and toasted, but also hen schmalz. Magnolia nougat. All of those flavors that were accessible when it was cold have now expanded and trailed a mood of sophistication and mannered abundance. The mineral dimension, now , is particularly sculpted, and not some rank, new construction either. I'm easily lost in the invasive patina that characterizes all those interesting, fertile vertices and salty salients. A careless, sugary concrete rinse pervades the experience at all temperature stages. This might not be my favorite Roally vintage, but it's real good. With quite ripe Rush Creek Reserve (on the cusp of ammoniated cliff face) it fits like a dear glove with mint edges. |

7/21/2023 - bacchus wrote: 90 pointsshared this bottle with pat at selkirk manor. i continue to prune the cellar of bottles with past due drink by dates. decided to open this bottle in accordance with daniel posner's longevity estimate. current abbreviated impressions- golden color but young and vibrant. Rich mineral, lemon and wet stone. this wine is indestructible. impressions are essentially the same as previous tastings over the past four years. i quote, "this bottle has the same golden straw color as last time which is consistent with the idea that its progression to maturity is proceeding at a slow pace. the wine is in sound condition and still shows lots of fruit on the nose. fills the mouth from cheek to cheek with stone fruit. a hint of hazelnut as well. some gravel in the background. the wine remains fresh and clean. no oiliness. 5 second finish. i love this wine. i love it more than the professional critics. it is probably my favorite vire-clesse. glad i have more which i will drink over the next year or two. need to seek out its big brother (bongran). |

12/13/2019 - jtsejersen@gmail.com Does not like this wine: 75 pointsI don't see the overall value in this wine. This is by no means bad, but just SO boring! I'm missing the oaky and buttery notes (and no, I'm not expecting it to behave like a NW Chardonnay!). Don't know what to say other than I'm not into this style, I find the wine uninspiring, lackluster and complete waste of money! |

2/1/2019 - jtsejersen@gmail.com Does not like this wine: 83 pointsNothing wrong with this wine at all - still, just a little boring wine. Pleasant nose and a good taste. No heavy alcohol taste or bad aftertaste. Apples and hints of something tropical on the nose. The taste is fresh and clean. QVP-ratio I'm not too excited. |

12/16/2021 - Putnam Weekley Likes this wine: 93 pointsMâcon Chardonnay from a curiously insulated and mutant set of old vines. It is a good reference for the variables of massale planting and musqué mutation. For USA residents it's key to understanding how Louis/Dressner changed history. NOSE: clean, firm bedrock of sweet stone. Mature berries. Blanched almonds. Eventually, there emerges the barest suggestion of exotic departures involving buttercream, green pineapple, root beer, and lemon peel. MOUTH: A stout-golden brew. Expansive. Active with nuts, golden syrup, chipped pears, and apples. This is helping confirm for me that northern Europe’s 2019 generally provided all the power and acidity one could want. Broad, boozy, Kabinett Chardonnay. Yum! Serve with southwest spiced food. |

9/26/2020 - James Kim Likes this wine: 87 pointsDecanted for 45 min. Aromas of mix of tart and ripe apples, herbs, minerals and a touch of vanilla oak. Palate w gala apples, mild levels of herbs and some minerals. A bit of oak spice. Medium bodied w nice acids and good depth of flavors. Short finish. Somewhat simple but yet satisfying. Went nicely w chicken vegetable soup. |

9/12/2020 - vulgar little monkey wrote: 92 pointsHas maybe shed just a touch of baby fat and is showing a bit more on the floral side, honeysuckle among other white and yellow flowers. There is a sucrosité to the finish that is wiped clean by juicy acids. Lovely. |
