Simply amazing. Better than 1984 Monte Bello. Still so youthful

Quite rich for Meursault due to the warm vintage but the present acidity is giving the wine a perfect balance. Now fully mature but likely will drink well over the next decade.

Now at its peak. Still very nice wine. Solid but I expected more. 94/100

Simply stunning. Now drinking very nicely but out of well stored bottles long future ahead. Needs at least 2 hours to open up. 98/100

Out of Magnum: Quite mature but overall a solid champagne. Tertiary notes are present but the bubbles help to keep the freshness. Good food Champagne. Drink up as it will not improve

Color is almost black. Full bodied monster…reminds me of a Napa version of Amarone. Lots of fruit, complex and long but imho no soul. I like the wine but it is too saturating for my taste. Drink now, it will last for at least 5-10 years but will likely not get better

Full bodied. Well made wine trimmed for perfection and high ratings. Smooth as silk but imho no soul and identity. I had enough after one glass

Still young and restrained. Needs a good decant. Very classic profile. Will improve in the next 5-10 years

Very light color. Raspberry notes, with hints of earthy / mushroomy flavors. Nice balance. Overall light bodied wine. Fully mature but still drinks well.

Still young but already very approachable. Very Comtes in style and sure will be much better in 5-10 years. Very elegant at the moment.

Nice sparkling wine. Despite being a zero dosage it feels quite a bit sweet. Overall quite nice but also has its price.

Quite closed and backward. Needs 5 more years. Now 92/100+

2 hours decanting helps a bit, but I am skeptical about the 96/100 WA points

Excellent Chardonnay. Hypothetical blend of Meursault and Chablis. Very precise.

Full bodied, nice sweetness. I prefer this to drink this type of wine quite cold (fridge temperature) as otherwise it feels flabby. high alcohol 14.2% but well integrated. Drink now

Chateau botteling with HS Fill Level - Mature red with some brick color at the edges. Nose of leather, raspberry marmelade and earthy notes. Wine had still some nice fruit left, good backbone and nice sweetness. There is still some life left and no rush to drink. 94/100. P.S: not a top bottle as the one I had 2 years ago was much „fresher“.

Super backward. Give it at least another decade to fully open up. Great potential is there.

2/12/2018 - Wine_lvr wrote:

Now starting to open up for a long and hedonistic drinking window. Give it a good decant and serve it out of big glasses. Despite the 14.6% Alc. quite balanced.

- Brick color with medium forming legs - Quite nice. Now fully mature but it benefits from a 1-2 hour decant.
