Tynn, vandig og kort. Nærmest fraværende på smak, fant ikke noe feil med flasken. Ikke bedre dag 2 eller 3. Tynt skvip. Får teste 2025 snart. (81 pts.) - Tasted 6/29/2026. https://www.cellartracker.com/note.asp?iWine=3661418&iNote=12645245 Fri, 15 Dec 2023 00:00:00 PST 12645245 Tasted by kfinsrud. Double decanted several hours before serving. This needs a proper swirl in a decanter to get rid of some serious reductive nose. The nose shows that classic smoky and mineral PYCM character. It's spicy and full of citrus, clearly young with white fruits. It's a bit sweeter on the palate showing a more tropical side and some weight, a more rounded vintage probably. It has got much tension and broad mouthfeel. It's quite lovely after a while and has a very strong finish. The more mineral side strikes through at the end and provides a refined finish. It can use some more time in bottle to better integrate the oak, but this is a vintage where you already can enjoy.

Having such profound memories from the last bottle about a year ago, I gave this one another try. It's still very open and tasty! The same beautiful nose and the same red-fruited, full flavour palate. It has even picked up some more depth, without getting heavy. This is some of the most light footed vintages I can remember, along with 2011 (and maybe 2014). It's such an elegant wine and confirms why it's one of my favorite producers from Piedmont.

Surprisingly very available on both the nose and the palate. On the nose you get the typical aromas; roses, cherries, tobacco, licorice and that sweet and sour fruit. On the palate there's a clean red fruited profile mixed with good acidity and tannins. This reminds me of a Burgundy! It's so smooth and drinkable, but you will notice the grip at the end. The finish is very long. This is clearly one of the best from this vintage. The wine did not shut down during the evening and even on day 2 it was fully available. So tasty, so young. It doesn't have the power of the great vintages, but this is something that can be enjoyed young and bring a smile on your face.

Double decanted and served several hours later. There is a green tinted hue on this one. Seems very young. The smell is also in the green spectre; mint, lime and pear. With more air and raised temperature, you get more seashell, seaweed and lemon. On the palate there a slighly underripe character, some greeness and a long saline finish. It gets wider with raised tempeature in the glass, more stone fruits, flowers and chalk. Perfect match with a scalloop dish. A very impressive GC that was enjoyed too young. Still it brings a smile on your face and presents a cooler side of the les Clos, probably helped by the vintage. This will be stunning in 5 years time.

Dette er svaret på hvorfor man lagrer vin. Litt nervøs siden det var 5 år siden forrige flaske og veien videre virket noe skjør. Ytterst forførende nese med spice, fioler, bringebær og kirsebær. Textbook Pinot. Frisk og livlig i munnen med rødbærsfrukt og lette tanniner. Pen syre som gjør den leskende og lettdrukket. Fin finish med lakris, lett røykpreg og bringebær. Meget elegant og utrolig nok noe bedre enn forrige flaske for 5 år siden.

Pretty decent village. My expectations where a bit high for this one, it did not perform as well as it should, nothing wrong with the bottle, but considering the price and producer ... you know.

Made only for the Norwegian market. Last vintage made (2006 - 08). This has now become a mature barbaresco. It's color is brick red with a solid brown rim. It smells of tar, roses, old wood, underbrush and balsamico. On the palate it shows medium body and length. Resolved tannins and mature fruit, towards the dried spectrum. Still a very well made wine and a bargain at the time!

Wonderful nose of rose petals, tobacco, leather and cherries. This has the sweet and sour smell that's unique for nebbiolo. Classic old school. On the palate there a sweet core to it, fruits of cherries and balsamic notes. Perfectly balanced acidity that lifts its mid-palate. Very elegant and pure. Resolved tannins, but with enough grip to match the food (risotto). Good length with licorice and tobacco. In a sweet spot now.

Double decanted with a proper swirl in between. Served 3 hours later. Rather dark yellow color. Made me a bit worried to start with. Color brigtens up with air. On the nose the typical tutti frutti chewing gum flavour, a tropical smell that's very appealing. Also citrus flavours and a mineral core (rocks). On the palate there's a fine energy with lots of chalk and fine sweet fruits. The finish is long and mineral driven. It's get more bold with air and the stony fruits becomes more apparent. This is a powerful Morstein and fairly intense, drinking better than any other nearby vintages at the moment. Still it was even better on day 2! More focus, more citrus, less sweetness and rubber.

A bit oaky on the nose, some cedar and blackcurrant underneath. Medium body and the acidity is noticeable. Ripe tannins. Lacking some fruits and punch. An edgy and rather short finish. Drying at the end. Seemed like a new world cabernet. This was day 1, disappointing performance. On day 2 it's brighter in it's expression, more fruits and more mineral palate. Still a bit drying at the end. More wood on the finish than yesterday. On day 3 it had finally arrivied at a more drinkable state and those two glasses were the best! Still a bit worried about the fruit component in this one. It will never be great, but a modest modern Bdx. Is it any point in opening up bdx bottles before they reach 20 years of age? Saving my last bottle some more years. (89 pts.) - Tasted 4/25/2026. https://www.cellartracker.com/note.asp?iWine=3085384&iNote=12505785 Fri, 5 Jul 2024 00:00:00 PST 12505785 Tasted by kfinsrud. Super fresh light color. Lovely nose with a charming floral tone, some raspberries, cherries, spices and a touch of vanilla. Juicy and lightfooted palate with red berries, good acidity, some sweetness and a smoky and mineral finish. Lacking some depth and length, but high drinkability!

Not immediately apparent; initially dominated by volatile aromas, but after some air the cork taint emerged. Such a shame, been saving this bottle for 12 years!

Hengt kjøtt, pepper, urter, noe røykaktig og litt skittent Rhône preg. Saftig mørk frukt i munnen, bjørnebær og krekling. Strukturert og noe temmede tanniner i avslutningen.

A short decant to get rid of some sediments and let it breathe for 1 hour. Brilliant color. Very complex nose (anise, dried roses, tar, tobacco etc.) all you want in a Barolo. Big and rich in both structure and taste, but also finely refined tannins, lifted and floral. It's so delicate and precise and clearly one of the best Barolo's I've ever experienced. The last two glasses was nothing shorter than amazing. Meaning this wine can go on for many more years, but this was sadly my last bottle. - Tasted 10/20/2024. https://www.cellartracker.com/note.asp?iWine=2582766&iNote=12255222 Sat, 20 Dec 2025 00:00:00 PST 12255222 Tasted by kfinsrud.

A brilliant, pure and red-fruited pinot! High drinkability with lots of spice, violets and raspberries. This is simply of one the best Bourgogne Rouge I have tasted from this vintage.

Veldig gul farge ved helning, som ble lysere etter lufting. Flott nese med hvite blomster, litt urter, valnøtter og skifer. Medium+ intens munnfølelse med tydelig syrestruktur, mineralitet og sitruspreg i svansen. Bredt anslag og god fylde. Medium kropp. God lengde. Ypperlig til Mont d'Or.

Golden color, a little bit of worring there before the decant. It's clearly mature now, both in taste and smell. Still good though, just a tad too rich for my taste. I think this is the vinyard that matures a bit more quickly than the others.

Pale red, some bricking at the edge. Aromatics of herbs, spice and cherries. A bit lean palate at first and a spicy finish. A rather dark wine at the fruits spectrum, gains some weight after two hours. It's get more earthy and smoky, very good with food including mushrooms. Would suggest to drink within 3-5 years.

It lacks in complexity and depth, even at it's level. A difficult vintage for sure (frost) and probably this won't get any better. Slightly disappointing given it's price.

Aromatic nose with raspberries, licorice, spice, flowers (more roses than violets) and herbs. In the mouth it's silky and refined, very drinkable with it's fruity profile and full of energy. Very tasty and just like Pinot should be all about, finally a bottle from Grivot in this vintage that delivers! A delightful NSG drinking very well right now.

A bit cold upon serving. Some reductive notes on the nose, but with more air and higher temperature in the glass, you get lemons, allspice, flowers, butter and wet stones. On the palate this is a bit leaner and greener that what you expect, but a more stony and buttery finish roundes this nicely off. It puts on some weight at the mid palate and gets more creamy. Shows lots of depth and concentration when temperature reaches 12 degrees celsius. A lemony touch fuels the palate and the acidity gets more attention. Wonderful now.

Brilliant nose with cedar, vanilla, spice and matured black fruits. Medium bodied wine with plenty of dark fruits, showing good acidity and finishing off with a long aftertaste. It finally begining to show some depth and complexity. It will still require some more years to shed of some oak notes and reveling it's more elegant sides.

Perfumed nose with red berries, flowers and hazelnuts. Some herbs. A very fruity and pleasing nebbiolo. Good acidity to back up the fruity elements. Highly drinkable.

On the nose there are good flavours, there's plenty of fruit here, pleasantly in the red end of the berry spectrum. Some herbal elements, towards medicinal. Nice smell of violets, more than roses here. Reminds me of a decent Burgundian. On the palate a delicate mouthfeel with light red fruits profile. Good minerality. Smooth tannins. And a good finish.

PnP, kork kom ut hel, kun nederste del var gjennomtrukket. Fill: 2,3 cm. Rubinrød kjerne med antydning til murstein i kanten. Lovende farge! Etter 5 min i glasset kommer tjære, tobakk og tørkede roser. For de som husker de gamle kioskene som solgte frukt- og tobakk, er det en god assosiasjon. Etterhvert mer sopp og anis. Ingen volatile aromaer. Følger pent opp i munnen med flere lag av tørkede bær og blomster, god syre og behagelig grip. Her er tanninene slipt ned, men de merkes i en god og lang avslutning sammen med anis, nyper og tobakk. Barolo fra La Morra er i utgangspunktet noe mykere enn fra de andre kommunene og her et meget godt modnet eksemplar, 100% korrekt. Flasken tapte seg ikke over 4 timer åpen og akkurat denne flasken hadde holdt mange år til.

On the nose you get the expected dried roses, leather, tobacco and anise. On the palate this wine still shows more tannins than what the nose suggested, it didn't seem so mature here. There's plenty of acidity and freshness, but a rather thin mouthfeel and a bit drying at the end, makes me wonder where this is heading.

Nose seems tight even after some air. Looses some reduction quite fast in the glass and butter, lemon, spice and some touch of oak appears.

Frisk lukt av bringebær, rips og moreller. Lett syrlig i munnen og med godt preg av jordsmonnet hvor druene har vokst opp; her er det mye røyk/aske! God mineralsk avslutning, saltaktig. Frisk og lett munnfølelse. Kan lagres et par år. Litt mer på plass etter litt tid i flaske. Utmerket til pizza med hvit saus.

Even double-decanted at the start due to a restrained nose. Concentrated and perfumed nose with cassis, cedar wood, smoke, herbs and bell pepper. Black fruits, minerals and a bit of chocolate. Bell pepper in the finish, only 5 % cab franc, but it shows. Ripe tannins, fairly smooth and available now. A bit sweetness is found, it's rather round and subtle. Will continue to develop, very good QPR. Drink now with enough air.

Stor forskjell i nesen ved åpning og etter en times lufting! Virker nå mye friskere og har lyse røde bær, tjære, blomster og krydder. Fargen ble også lysere og er rubinrød i kjerne med lys murstein i kanten. Var mer brun ved åpning, sprøtt! Stor og fyldig på smak med fin syre, pent nedslipte tanniner i bakkant og lang lengde. Har modnet med stil, men det har vært stor flaskevariasjon opp igjennom årene. Hyggelig at den leverer ved 20-års alder! (92 pts.) - Tasted 3/24/2024.
