  July 22, 2022 - Birthday Dinner with Wine Legends (Oriole): Black cherry, plum, and berry accompanied by a massive baking spicebox. Rich and opulent, yet this easily manages to seem wonderfully fresh for a ripe vintage wine at this age. Great now and for years to come. I could have easily mistake this for a Vosne-Romanée Grand Cru.

  October 3, 2020 - 1990 Leroy’s .. Vosne Romanee Beaux Monts, Nuits Saint George Les Boudots, Pommard Les Vignots and Savigny Les Beaune Les Narbatons
  
  (Bottle 3785/5518) Second time with this wonderful wine in two months. Double decanted at 4:00 alongside the SLB and what a contrast, clearly a tighter, darker, broodier wine. By 8:00 this started to show its sexy, plummy, earthy soul. Larger scaled and richer than the Narbatons and with more gravitas than the Vignots while a step behind Beaux Monts’ grand cru performance. If the Narbatons was a sexy, breathtaking blond, this was more a sultry exotic brunette.
  
  Interesting to taste this side by side with her VR Beaux Monts since even though though Boudots is located in the northeast corner of NSG adjacent to Vosne Romanee far away from Vaucrains and LSG in the southwest She manages to capture the darker fruited essence of NSG.

  August 19, 2020 - (Bottle 2706/5518) Paired with Leroy 1990 Vosne Romanee Beaux Monts.....
  
  A treat to have these two side by side. The Beaux Monts was strikingly young, tight and packed with red fruit, Vosne spice. Fine tannins, impressive mid palate, lovely texture, balance and finish. The Boudots was more mature, with darker fruits and a touch of earthiness.
  
  Hard to believe these are 30 year old premier crus

• Keith Levenberg Does not like this wine:

  February 3, 2019 - 2nd Annual Sommelier Appreciation Dinner (Undisclosed Location): Some raisining here. Either not a good bottle or not a good wine. (Did the fruit get roasted in the cellar or the vineyard?)
