April 2, 2024 - Perfectly mature nose displaying bright red fruit, cherry, strawberry, strong sous bois, grilled cep, Vosne spice, Chinese medicinal cabinet, stem, cinnamon and nutmeg and limestone. Fully integrated palate, very finely layered generous red fruit, silky and airy, beautiful detail and precision, bright acidity, fine limestone mineral, and a seamless long sweet red fruit driven finish. There is a hint of bitterness that is not bothersome. The 08 DRCs very unique and special. They were showing a lot of Vosne spice from the beginning. They matured quickly and now are perfectly mature, which is not a bad thing.
February 6, 2024 - Gosh, what a lovely glass. Probably my favourite off the night in a strong line-up side by side Eche, RSV and Tache 08 from the Domaine. Markedly paler in colour vs the Eche poured alongside. Initially not jumping from the glass immediately but it became clear with coaxing that there was an awful lot hidden in here. Umami rich, very complex, ethereal and mysterious. I think in 10-20 years this will be utterly superb! Hold onto those drink 2035-2050
September 9, 2023 - Ultra floral, super expressive aromatically. Sweet, balanced palate. (3971/6453)
June 8, 2023 - Beautiful aromatics with flowers, perfume, stems and spice. Alluring fruit on the palate that pleased you with weightless power. So good.
March 26, 2023 - Burgundy Bachelor Party: A decent and correct wine that was blown out by an array of incredible wines. Struck me as a bit thin compared to the complete and brilliant wines served beside it.
January 25, 2023 - Continues to outperform the vintage. While perhaps without the best definition, layers of depth on the nose and palate compensate.
November 8, 2022 - Nose exhibits DRC spice, flowers, and darkish red fruit. It is marginally darker than the 08 DRC Echezeaux, but the GE has a lot more flesh and complexity. Really love the 08 DRCs. While it is drinking well for a young wine, it will certainly age amazingly well. 95-96
May 7, 2022 - Like drinking rose petals. Such an elegant wine, crystal rose color, delicate on the palate with great lightness and purity of flavor, but most of all that aroma! Incredible. I want more. Served in the backyard, out of plastic Bordeaux glasses, with wood-fired pizza and friends.
February 4, 2022 - maybe it's just me but the GE's from DRC always seem to be so much more approachable than the other ones, I don't really get the same oak presence in its youth. Stemmy deep red fruit on the nose. Sweet earth and berries with spiced stem galore. Surprised by the balance on it. It’s light on its feet but delicious and some savoriness.
