Domaine de la Voûte des Crozes Côte-de-Brouilly Gamay 2017

Domaine Armand Rousseau

Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2001

With a four hour decant this 2001 Rousseau Chambertin was ethereally light with a good finish but not as complex or the signature sappy fruit associated with Rousseau. A good wine not great. Next time will use a two hour decant — 5 days ago

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

Échézeaux Pinot Noir 2005

2005 vintage. Great fill and cork. Decanted and tasted after two hours. Small amount of chunky and powdery sed. Nose a bit musty but never funky during a high decant. Medium-heavy body. Tremendous power throughout. Can easily go another two decades. Still packing the signs of youth such as individual flavors easily evident vs melded/integrated ones. Tasted more like a 2020 vintage. Was hoping for more black tea, espresso, orange citrus peel, soy sauce notes (and there were some). This one's gonna need a bigger boat...er...another 7-8 years or a 5 hour decant to shed some of that overt power in a trade off for nuance. Delicious in its own way but not easy. Demanding. 04.04.25. — 19 days ago

@Pinotman /// Andreas If you ever saw The Untouchables from the late ‘80’ with Sean Connery, Kevin Costner, Andy Garcia and Robert De Niro…the “baseball bat scene.” That was this wine. Irrational and overkill. Fantastic in that space and time tho.
