Thanksgiving wine treat. I’ll start off by saying it was a little bit of fallen expectations because I was so looking forward to tasting this wine, but it was still pretty strong on a few points. Color was a medium garnet showing a brick edge and I would’ve guessed more like late 1990s just by color. Highly perfumed aromas of middle eastern spices, rose bouquet, and crushed stones. The bouquet was beautiful although more savory (i opened it two hours before drinking, no decant). Silky smooth and full palate with bing cherry and sweet plum. Texture was very silky and it all kept improving in the glass. Lengthy finish. All in all a great DRC experience but less than I was hoping for a 2010 LT. Highly recommended.

À l’aveugle Côte à Côte avec la Romanée-Conti, wow! Nez magique et complexe qui chante les roses, tabac, épices douces et fines, fruits rouges et noirs. Une bouche puissante, intense mais avec une telle énergie et classe, très frais et fin, puissant et suave à la fois, une texture qui tapisse le palais de façon si élégante et quelle longueur d'anthologie. 98-99
Tasted blind side by side with the Romanée-Conti. Magical nose of roses, tobacco leaves, red fruit, spices. Powerful and structured palate yet un a silk glove, so energetic, intense, deep, very classy and the length goes on and on. Amazing experience. More powerful then the Conti.

Easily WOTN, and it has not moved, really since I tasted it last in 2020; so concentrated, yet fine, delicate, chalky, hitting the Pinot-nerve with all it has. Re ains one iof the best wines, I have tasted in my life. Out of this world. A romantic wine, some on wrote here - could not agree more. #IB

Lafon Montrachet vertical with some great champagne and reds. (Four Seasons, Minneapolis, MN): Tasted alongside the '93 and '09. My favorite of the flight. Beautiful balance. Power, structure yet so well balance and silky. Very approachable now, but should cellar beautifully.

Decadently, exotically floral and spice. Complete, elegant and harmonious red fruited palate that delivers opulent doses of pleasure. (1063/15763)
