Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2016

Unfortunately I do not have much experience with St Vivant😉.My nose is assaulted by waves of red fruit, earth, roses and lots of spice. In the mouth juicy waves of red and black cherries are cut short by firm tannins.
Lots of hints, but no conclusions.

Nice. Like this producer. Who among us has enough experience with Grand Cru RSV? Obviously a decade+ too young but if it's getting popped, you've gotta taste it...if only to gauge how much longer before it starts to lower the defenses.

Lol…I’m simply grateful that I’ve got any experience with RSV, even if it was a relatively weak year of DRC, it was still very lovely.

Château Bouscassé (Alain Brumont)

Vieilles Vignes Madiran Tannat 1990

[80% Tannat, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon] Leather, forest floor, maybe a little Brett, excellent structure and depth, despite its age, seems like it can easily age another 10-15 years, long, lingering finish, excellent Madiran! — 2 months ago

Domaine Bernard Moreau & Fils

Chassagne-Montrachet Chardonnay 2017

Had a bottle 66 weeks ago - this is my last bottle. White florals. The palate is delicate, restrained and polished. After a while sweet fruit but undeniably more citrus than stone fruit. The finish shows cleansing citric acid with a touch of salinity. The same notes the following night. 2017 - a good year for white burgundy. — a month ago
