Another stunning Chambertin from the Burgundy dinner in Sydney 6 weeks ago. An absolutely gorgeous nose. Interestingly 100% new oak but the powerful fruit just swallows it. A little Animale/Feral note which adds interest. The medium plus bodied palate shows a savoury and sinewy texture. This has got the lot and still with a long window up to the early 2040s. Surpassed the 2002 in my book. — 14 days ago

Focused intensity. Peach honey and sweet pear in a tight punchy joy. First time with this champagne and I loved it. — 12 days ago

Great vintage for Pavie where the 98 right banks are drinking beautifully. This had layers of red & black fruits, spice box, graphite, damp earth, leather & tobacco — 19 days ago

Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (72%), Merlot (19%), Cabernet Franc (6%) and Petite Verdot (3%). Dark garnet/ruby/purple/black color. Aromas of ripe black fruit, rose petals, cigar box and smoked meat. Flavors of blackberry, black currant and black plum fruit with additional hints of tobacco, black olives and cloves. Long lasting velvety finish. Full bodied with noticeable (but well integrated) tannins. Beautiful freshness. Rich and powerful but so well balanced. Consistently outstanding vintage after vintage. Could continue to age for decades! — 10 days ago

Patience rewarded in a full body bundle ready to enjoy for a couple of decades. Though a bit of Burgundy novice, my Faiveley wines seem to require a bit more patience than others but worth the wait. — 2 months ago

Impressively knit and proudly firm. A rare treat that is magically sound and correct. An ambivalence insists it has some years left. Scary. — 5 days ago
