Showing super well. Already quite complex with great voluminous texture. Love Lafon. — 5 days ago
Of extreme rarity, the mythical and cult-like wines of Prieure Roch really do show such singularity. Grand Cru Clos Vougeot, with vines planted as far back as 1929 and situated in what is a coveted sub-section “terroir royal,” is perhaps their best wine along with Clos de Beze. 2007 is showing superbly, combining the elegance of the vintage with the power of the site with captivatingly complex aromatics and a juicy, earthy and floral mineral inflicted core and a finish that keeps on going. This was simply magical after some air. Special wine. — 9 days ago
When 78 Ducru is on it’s an amazing example of aged Bordeaux but they’re incredibly inconsistent. This was a stunning bottle but two were corked before it. A perfect pairing with black truffle tagliatelle. — 9 days ago
The perfect white burg vintage! Love it particularly for PYCM. 2017 Caillerets is electric, so defined and expressive, wafting layers of matchstick, spice-tinged yellow fruit, hazelnuts and white flowers. The palate is chiseled, voluminous and concentrated with incredible purity, and a long chalky mineral inflicted finale. It’s still young, but in such a great spot! — 19 days ago

Part of the same generation as Verset, Gentaz and Trollat, Juge is old school Syrah at its finest. These rare bottles can be highly variable but this was the most perfect showing I’ve had from Juge. It’s everything you want from Syrah, vibrantly energetic, brimming with elegance and a wild complexity with earth, spice, wild berries and smoky minerals. Exceptionally balanced and detailed, this is perfect Northern Rhône. — 5 days ago
