Old school barstool showing what nebiolo can do. Very refined tannins, a bit port like burn. Excellent. Too bad Flavio is not well and may stop making wine.

Gonon always succeeds in creating stunning Syrah’s from his granite soils. Wine is amazingly alive and totally in balance. — 17 days ago

First try at this case. Very nice nose of forest floor, mushrooms, great acidity. For me the wine is a bit thin and given its pedigree I a quite frankly a bit disappointed. — 10 days ago

Fabulous CNP. Medium to full bodied, highly perfumed, garrigue, strawberry and raspberry, very smooth and elegant. Predominantly Grenache. — 13 days ago

There is amazing balance in these wines. A certain lightness despite 16.5 alcohol which is a testimony to the greatness of the producer. Takes time to open and would benefit from a further aging after 11 years. Great spices and black fruit, full bodied. — 24 days ago

9.4

Great combo but both a bit disappointing in their own way. Chambertin too much fruit not enough depth, Musigny quite light, great nose not followed by a great taste. Needs time to develop but still not meeting expectations. — 10 days ago

Cherry bomb, full bodied, high alcohol, has evolved quite a bit since tasted last (2021) but still mostly fruit forward and very intense red fruit. — 10 days ago
