Muschelkalk Pinot Noir 2009
Domaine Michel Lafarge
Clos du Château des Ducs Monopole Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2008
Monopole - Quite tannic.
Has another 5+ years of life ahead of it. Cherry, raspberry - really incredibly tannic! Try again in 2030? Mulberry (yep have a tree so i can compare). Perhaps cranberry - but really nothing along the line „holy shit“ never had this before, Yes an iconic wine - but that does mean i will give it high points just because of the pedigree and 300$ for these is steep! — 6 days ago

Les Chenevottes Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2022

Untertürkheimer Herzogenberg Cabernet Franc 2022
Porsche? A Baby Cheval Blanc? - Really? 13%. Violet nose. So drinkable. Touch raspberry, hint blueberry, pomegranate, pencil savings, perhaps a hint of white pepper. Violets on the nose. And by the way the vineyard is close to PORSCHE in Untertürkheim - Germany. — 8 days ago

Pommard Pinot Noir 2015
Faint - Dijon mustard. I rated this vintage many many times. Very pale. Drink up really. At its peak - this is awesome but will not get better. Quite oxidized. Profound orange 🍊 notes / Inter-dispersed with fading dark cherry. Incredible well balanced at this point. „Tip of the spear….“. Super complex back palate - what the hell is this? Tumeric, ….boy am I glad i have an Argon line at home to be able to taste this for days. Last bottle. — 6 days ago

Les Charmes Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2005
Another incredible Burgh. This needs about 12 hours to open up under an argon atmosphere. Before that an 8.7 quite boring and flat . Very dark / super refined cherry notes - Kirsch Brandy aka Schladerer from Staufen/Baden. Port wine on the nose. For Chambolle - Musigny made in 2005 this had too much fruit but now ultra refined tannins - and i hate the word ultra smooth…. — 6 days ago
Domaine Philippe Naddef
Les Genelières Marsannay Pinot Noir 2022
Lyle was a little winded on this one - but I agree a stunning wine. 13.5%. Pretty dark for a Pinot. Cherry and hint of blackberry. More in a sec. ——- perhaps touch of blueberry. Well balanced with good acidity. Very fresh and bright…not earthy at this point. Could go for another 5?years or so. — 15 days ago

4 bottles within a week. Corks are in trouble they all seeped. Their top bottling in 2009 one barrel made / 60 year old vines / clone no idea? Still quite tannic. Needs 1 hour to open up before that flat/dull. Raspberries, tart cherry, red currant, chalky. Less complicated compared to 5 years ago some bottle variation. My strong advice - drink now (I re-corked 2 for 2029 for science). But honestly this is beyond its prime! OK gains significant elegance and pose after 2 hours of air. So yes still good but tough to figure out - and recommendation still the same drink up! May be folks luck out on the upside. — a day ago
