  4/3/2024 - Burgundy Bill Likes this wine: 98 Points

  An insane floral spice box that long-jumps from the glass - you can smell this wine from 6 feet away - it fills the room… Wow the nose on this wine… the Palette is waves of silk and spice followed by a tide of crystalline red fruits that saturate the pallet and meld with velvety tannin. This wine is sensual, spicy, and long - it has staying power. A real wow wine… Obviously young, but so complex and enjoyable even in this early state.

  Pierre Morey/Fourrier Dinner at La Paulée de Los Angeles (Bicyclette, Los Angeles): Deep ruby. Ripe, heady aromas. Shockingly full, rich, and chocolatey for a Gevrey wine. Dark cherry, licorice, savory notes, smokiness, and some alcoholic heat. Very tannic finish. I am not used to CSJ being heavy, but this is the largest scaled one I’ve ever had. A lot going on, but will it wind up being a great wine for the ages or just an overripe mess? I can’t say, and I think it will take another 20+ years to answer that question since the wine is so massive and young now.
