    December 11, 2023 - Sadly some mild tca ruined what was a fresh and vital wine that had richness along with the cut of the vintage.

    August 5, 2023 - 1996 Rhone and Burgundy (Bronte): rich white gold colour but a lot less dark than its age would suggest.
    rich fragrance showing fine oak spice, minerality, honeycomb and plump ripe peaches.
    powerful palate, rich and well structured, yet also refined and still quite tight. Honey, crushed herbs, toasty, creamy, with a strong line of peaches. really delicious, no sign of oxidative notes, just gentle signs of age. obviously a well stored example.

  • DAN BAILEY Likes this wine:

    May 26, 2023 - Last of my 6 pack. Paired with the 93. Slightly darker golden colour. Such breadth and weight. Probably the best, most complete perrieres I’ve ever had. Several steps above the 96 roulot from magnum that I was lucky enough to try a few years ago.

  • The Guzz Likes this wine: 94 points

    May 26, 2023 - Electric on opening, expressive lemon/lime fruit, creamy, truffle, stones, earth, great length driven hard by the 96 acidity. This was alive immediately with an energy that would put many a young MP to shame. For me this is in the perfect place with some secondary nuance coming through into a still youthfully exuberant profile.

    May 18, 2023 - Bottle decant one hour. Golden luminous colour. Pronounced nose of honeysuckle and peach. Medium+ acidity and hints of minerality. Surprisingly fresh still and well-balanced with a good finish.
