April 7, 2023 - 2012 Domaine de la Romanee Conti Richebourg. My wife and I paired this with a tasting menu in our “pre anniversary” dinner. It’s always a treat drinking DRC! This took some time to fully open and was a powerful beast but lithe and ethereal. Classic DRC stemmy nose with undergrowth, dill herb, pond moss, and even vitamin! The palate kept evolving around stewed strawberry, cherry, leather, Asian spicebox, caramel. This did have a touch of heat when it warmed so the sommelier chilled it which renewed it plus the wine was on the verge of closing and most open with 2 hours of air. 97/100 now with air but recommend holding for another 5 years. What an evening!

July 6, 2022 - Tasted the wine blind. Again surprised by the finesse of the DRC wines...
Especially leather and red fruit in the aftertaste here. It's always a pleasure to drink the wines from DRC. -

November 13, 2021 - Jumping floral and vitamin aromatics. Purity and length on the palate with precise delineation. Wouldn't rule out higher rating with time. (1569/7610)

May 4, 2021 - The first sniff reveals aromas of sandalwood, spiced plum and menthol. It is rich, sappy and deep in the mouth. Still quite compact and strict. There’s flesh held in check by the wine’s ample structure. Balance is superb and it has so much potential. Needs time.
