2/27/2023 - burgbob wrote: 92 pointsVery nice burgundy. Earthy with good underlying fruit and concentration. Still has good tannic structure but very delicious and complex with a bit of air now. |

1990 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Musigny Cuvée Vieilles VignesMusigny Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
2/19/2022 - burgbob wrote: 93 pointsMy experience is similar to other recent tasters. The wine is clean and expressive. Complex bouquet that others describe better than I can. Mid palate is bit thin but finish persists well with some grainy tannins evident. Very interesting and enjoyable wine even if it doesn’t live up to Parker’s early assessment. |

1/25/2022 - burgbob wrote: 88 pointsFine grained tannins create a sense of elegance. The nose is developing some secondary aromas. Body is lighter than I would like with a lack of concentration in a somewhat thin acidic finish. Good wine but I’d like more at this price point. |

1/8/2022 - burgbob wrote: 92 pointsFairly concentrated. Lots of tart cherry fruit with tannic overtones. Decent length. Not as elegant as someTurleys but I’m not pouring any out either! |

2016 Maze Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
12/31/2021 - burgbob wrote: 92 pointsA good dose of fruit and some aggressive tannins similar to mountain cabs in Napa. Fairly good concentration and length. Good now and at least five years. |

12/11/2021 - burgbob wrote: NRA lush and delicious Cabernet with an entry of sweet oak backed by fine tannins and a long finish. Enjoyable already but a few years should help this integrate its oak better. |

2015 Domaine du Chateau de Meursault Meursault 1er Cru CharmesChardonnay more |
7/7/2021 - burgbob wrote: 92 pointsVery Mersault-like. Fairly rich and forward, good length. Rounded and mature fruit with enough acid backing to carry it to an elegant finish. |

6/10/2021 - burgbob wrote: 88 pointsFull bodied cab lacking definition and needing time to absorb the obvious oak. Plenty of fruit there. Hoping a couple of years help. |

5/17/2021 - burgbob wrote: 87 pointsWe detected some corkiness or otherwise off putting aroma in the nose. However, the wealth of fruit made it a still good drink with steak. Plenty of tannin so if there are uncorked bottles around they may drink well for quite a few years. |
