One of the better 2011s I’ve had in a long while. — 6 months ago
The 2018 “Clos de la Roche” pours a deep ruby/purple color with medium viscosity and light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is youthful and shows a combination of tart and ripe red and dark fruits: raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, pepper, exotic spices, minerals and some fine wood. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. This has an overall character of freshness and the fruit is so beautiful…but this is such a baby. While it shows its quality now, I won’t touch my next bottle for another 10 years. Better after 2035 (to my palate) and through 2058. — 7 months ago
Rich strawberry. Smoky. Roses. Sweet. Plum, raspberry. Georges Lignier et Fils Morey Saint Denis 22 @560, domaine, 250715 — 3 months ago
Rich dark brooding nose of black cherry and spice. Follow through on the pallet w a hint of sassafras. Great length. Could use another couple of years. Too bad current vintages have reached unaffordable levels — 5 months ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2022 Passetoutgrains pours a ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart berries, like a mixed berry jam. There’s also some red and purple flowers along with some underbrush and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium and has a nice juicy mineral finish. This might benefit from a little time on its side to gain a little more complexity but the quality is undeniable. Drink now through 2032. — 8 months ago
Médium light garnet , wide garnet rim . Quite herbal , spicy red currants, dried cherry, rose . orange rind , earthy notes . On the palate this has quite high acidity and more red fruit , dried cherry , red currant and raspberry hints , slightly astringent tannins , and ok earthy finish . Overall quite simple , and perhaps a little disappointing . This is ready now , but will last well for another few years — 4 months ago
Fruity aroma, hint of spice and oak, light and frothy, smooth enough to pair nicely with lobster! — 6 months ago

Took 30 min in glass to open up and show its stuff but nice lifted nose and decent grip on the finish. Liked it better than 2012 Littorai Savoy tasted alongside. — 2 months ago
