    February 11, 2024 - It's been a long time coming - my intro to DRC. Slow-ox for 90 minutes before service - upon first taste, we elected to decant the remainder; a bit of tannic roughness right at the tail end of the finish that needed a bit more air to resolve. In the glass, pale rose at the rim, shading to a deeper, somewhat opaque dark berry red at the core. On the nose, a fascinating, focused mix of crushed cherries and rose petals, and a hint of peppery cinnamon. On the palate, delicate, silky, and smooth, with light cherries, rosewater, orange pith, bay leaves, and mild floral/herbal elements weaving in and out of the mix. Mild tannins assert themselves on the finish. Not quite the religious experience I was hoping for, but there's no question that this is a delicious, outstanding wine, and the aromatics are unique - that seamless blend of cherry and rose sets it apart.

    December 8, 2023 - Birthday Celebration (State Street Manor & Racquet Club - Chicago IL): Something was slightly off and muted here, was it ever-so-slightly corked?

    August 6, 2023 - This was singing. Gorgeous candied red fruit, dried flowers, spice and stems. Light on its feet but plenty of power. Just delicious.

    August 5, 2023 - Weekend in Michigan with Wine; 8/5/2023-8/6/2023 (Asian Spice House - Buchanan MI): I haven't tasted this wine in over a decade and tonight's bottle was (by far) the best it has ever been for me. Fresh and mature red berries and cherries come in and out of focus over the course of several hours with both sweet and savory spice. Good enough weight, great length. Really fantastic bottle, even with fully soaked-through cork.

Burgundy-Report

    (Romanée-Conti Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru) Medium colour. A wide, interesting and smokey nose of quite some complexity, eventually a little bacon-fat comes through too. The palate is nicely delineated if not so concentrated, yet is both elegant and delicate. Actually this is rather beautiful and shows wonderful balance, such that I expect it will be very long lived. Super and with beautiful aromatics too. This was a hard bottle to open - not through guilt, rather the cork - pushing the corkscrew into the top caused the cork to start sinking and wine to squirt as there was no airspace. With incredible care and a twin-pronged 'pull' tool I got the cork out - phew! Comparing to the other wines opened this cork seemed narrower in diameter…

    (Romanée-Conti Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru) A bright, medium cherry-red colour, just a shade lighter than the Echézeaux that stands by it’s side. A quite lovely nose that begins with a suggestion of torrefaction and sweet powdery fruit. Swirling releases a much more prominent and precise red-fruit note. Medium bodied, this wine shows an elegant balance between the fruit and acidity, the tannins showing a grainy edge and just a hint of dryness. There’s a serious aspect to this wine and whilst it’s shallow in the context of the DRC line-up in 2002, it’s certainly not shallow in the context of the appellation indicated on the label. I expect this wine will be a great investment, regardless of how you choose to use that word.

Rockss and Fruit

  • By Lyle Fass

    (DRC Vosne Romanee 1er Cru "Duvault Blochet") Very vibrant ripe nose with complex spice and bright bing cherries. After some coaxing some menthol, leather and blueberry appeared all set on a background of mineral. The brightness on the nose is reflected on the palate in waves of pure ripe, sweet red fruits. Sexy and silky with great density buffered by great acids. Long on the finish. A great start as this wine has great upside and will develop for a while in the bottle.
