February 29, 2024 - Deep and spicy with lots of purple fruit and vintage brightness up top. 93-94
June 13, 2023 - Floral, clean aromatics. Plastic palate notes. (546/650)
September 7, 2022 - Acker Pre-Auction September 2022 (Redbury Lounge): Quite a nice if quite young burgundy that has a certain elegance to it. Very nice of Fred to share.
September 7, 2022 - Very Liger aromatics and very 2010 in structure and clarity. Details among hue of spice. 93-94
February 7, 2020 - Acker 2020/02: 283/650. Cool fruit, spicy core, meaty, superb clarity. 94
March 14, 2013 - 2013 La Paulee, New York; 3/12/2013-3/14/2013: Rich, intense cherry, deeply flavored, good finish.
March 9, 2013 - La Paulée de New York Grand Tasting (Metropolitan Pavilion - New York NY): Tasting. This came across quite differently than I remember from tasting in Burgundy last year. Lots of red and black fruit today with modest spice, it is now much more firm and concentrated, almost seeming to be shutting down already. Great length.
March 9, 2013 - La Paulée de New York 2013 Grand Tasting (Metropolitan Pavilion, New York): Lost my notes on the Liger-Belair wines, but I wasn’t bowled over by the lineup (the 2010 Brulees from the Verticals was stunning). The Reignots was clearly showing some reduction, and the Suchots was quite nice. I need to taste more from this producer.
March 9, 2013 - La Paulée de New York 2013 (Metropolitan Pavilion, NYC): Showing less spice vs the Colombière at this point? This is more lithe. Similar sweetness on nose with acid on finish, the residuals in this glass had an amazing character of masculine sweat. It was an extreme saline minerality and a beefy, oniony earthiness. Wow.
March 22, 2012 - DIVA Burgundy Tasting; 3/21/2012-3/22/2012 (Maison Champy - Beaune): Wine tasting. Red fruit and Asian spice aromas. Same on palate with a soft start, then picking up concentration towards middle and finish. Very elegant finish, very easy to enjoy now and see how this will evolve into something in the 92-94 point range.
