Really very lovely. Not quite at the level of some of the for example older Ponsots that we have had, but still obviously excellent. Opened a couple hours in advance, better as the night wore on so probably could have used a decant. Paired with a very simple butter basted filet and some mushrooms. Great depth, balanced fruit and real earth. Quite a bit of power. — 4 days ago

Oh is this delicious. So fresh and hard not to drink right away. Light on its feet, beautiful red fruits-cherries, strawberries, raspberries. Floral violets, perfect acidity, elegant finish. — 3 months ago

First sentence is a tester. Now the full note. We don’t often have Grand Cru Burgundy but we had roast duck legs on Mother’s Day. An intensity to the nose - Sous Bois/Compost heap with savoury red fruits - smoky with a hint of pepper. Many of the experts are saying a high influence of stems in the ferment is apparent and I totally agree. Interestingly Richard Hemming MW gave the wine 19.5/20 and said “This is what all the Burgundy fuss is all about.” Continuing to evaluate - this wine has a beautiful nose (very Morey one taster said). In summary a magnificent wine with great persistence. One of the 1001 Wines. Clos des Lambrays can trace its history back to the 14th century. — 10 days ago

Quite nice. Served a bit cooler than I like. Nice mid red restrained fruits, grand florals violets, wood shavings, amazing, gentle caramel, elegant with great balance & well toned length. — 3 months ago

This has a bit more teeth. Darker, bolder red berries, light caramel, butterscotch notes, tree sap, twig, florals for days, what balance, length and elegant finish. Definitely my wheelhouse. Red burgundy candy in a good way. Great now but meant for the cellar. 8-10 yrs. — 3 months ago

Lean, but beautiful softness, freshness, red roses, incredible balance. For the lighter red burgundy lover. — 3 months ago

Pop and pour. Wow. On the nose: a touch of struck match, dense lemon, lemon oil, wet stone, filigreed fruit on minerality. So delicate, but simulateously powerful. Lovely density, crushed rock, lemon oil, fantastic acidity and a long finish. Fantastic, but so young. Sad this is no longer a monopole...doubt I will ever be able to afford the Lambrays version. — 4 years ago
