2016 vintage. Served at dinner party M&S. So perfect with filet mignon. Would buy again. M NOLA — 7 years ago
It lives up to it’s name. Though 2010 wasn’t the best year, probably the worst of this decade actually, this wine is still very drinkable and has stood this short test of time very well. Profile is dominated by the cab (37%) at this stage as the Merlot (40%) has faded a little. The Malbec and Petit Verdot making up the rest are subtle/hiding. Dark brambly berries/black cherry, faint cola notes, tobacco and wet stone/pencil shavings are the prominent flavors and aromas. It is probably good for at least a few more years. :) — 8 years ago
Great chilled red. Almost juice/kombucha-like and slightly effervescent — 8 years ago
Un Auxey-Duresses Les Hautées 2016 de JM Vincent que j’ai trouvé bien, avec des arômes de miel et de fruits jaunes, une certaine richesse et largeur qui domine l’acidité un peu trop. Me semblait meilleur en jeunesse. 88-89
A nice bottle, some yellow orchard fruit and honey, the palate is dominated by the richness and roundness vs a backward acidity, not bad but was better in it’s youth if my memory serves me right.

Red berries, a touch of cinnamon and spices. Fresh, elegant, lots of energy, nice soft tannins, well balanced, the most approchable and less powerful of all the premier crus from JM Vincent, very good, drank in a flash. 89-90
Fruits, rouges, touche de canelle. Frais, fin, énergique avec des tannins présents mais tellement approchables en ce moment, bien équilibré et le moins puissant des premiers crus de ce domaine, très bon, ça se boit tout seul. 89-90

Hvid? Nej - saftig rød beaujolais! — 8 years ago
Wow! I honestly didn’t expect this to be so good (2010 being such a cool year), but it is fantastic! Big red stone fruit and pepper on the nose, hints of bacon fat, cigar box, and white pepper on initial palette. Medium bodied, medium tannins. Excellent finish. Yum! — 8 years ago
Real Sleeper - figured this was going to be tired & over the hill, but it was glorious! Needed 90 minutes to really open up but then it unfurled with pure black & blue fruits interspersed w/tar, leather, minerals, florals, meat & spice all wrapped in finely grained tannins wrapped in velvet. This was a product of the insanely hot 03 vintage, but this is an absolute complete wine - a gem. — 5 years ago
Gamay forever!! SIGHT: burgundy red; light, clear. SMELL: slight farm floor, overripe plum flesh, nostalgia. TASTE: strawberry candy, slight tartness, pleasant tannins, light bodied — 6 years ago
Bubble yum and berry sherbet at the start — 7 years ago
Aging well. This medium bodied wine is still full of tannin and flavor. It will probably continue to age well for another 5-6 years. Bright red fruit (red plum, strawberry and cranberry) are backed up by a heady/boozy finish and some nice spicy notes (dried red pepper and maybe nutmeg/baking spice). Yum! — 8 years ago
