What a smokeshow this wine is. Old school as it gets. Nose is all chestnut. In its glorious most primal form. Then comes the cardamon and clove spices. Cracked nuts. Tar, leather. Mad tobacco. It’s so crazy. I love these wines. Fiercely traditional. No fucks given. If Tarkovsky made wine. Palate is gorgeous and the essence of 14. Linear and nervy. Great acids and freshness and the that linearity is something. A gorgeous, tight core of cherry fruit. Just so good. So long. This has 20+ years to go but as epic as anything. Finish is still going. Takes over your mouth. This is so great. Better in 3 hours and ten years. But man what a thrilling, uncompromising absolutely delicious bottle of ancient style Barbaresco but made super clean with elite freshness. — 4 years ago

Drunk 12–20 9–22. Oh, $32 when purchased in 2018. Expected a little bit more of that wet dog taste which is why I like this style of wine. — 2 years ago

Really really small allocation of this in 2019 and whoever gets it is a lucky dog. Stunning beyond belief. Nose is all brambly cherries, brambly black cherry, some gorgeous mineral tones, gorgeous florals, so clear. The nose keeps opening and gaining nuance. So perfumed. So Chambolle. Omg the palate is why we drink, collect and chase Burgundy. It’s super tight but it is all there. Gorgeous purity, finesse and some serious structure. Crunchy and a bit tight but my goodness the depth, breadth and length signal we are in eliteville. What a finish. Pure soppy cherries. This is so old school as well. I’m not even sure if there is any new wood on this. If there is I don’t notice as Pierre is known to use 0% new wood on some of his elite 1er Cru reds. The kiss of cherry on the nose is growing . So pure and so much clarity. What inner mouth aromas. Terrific sweetness and structure. Elegant, complex and ethereal. The finesse is top notch but married to a 20+ year structure. So so long. Just impossibly long and there are apparent tannins and also late breaking tannins. Such sweet caressing fruit on the finish.

Omg this is an absurd work of art. So velvety, sweet and incredible tiny fruit intensity. 9.7 to 9.8 after 15 minutes. — 4 years ago

Tasted at Chateau
61 CS 39 M, 18 months in French oak, 55% new.

Deep inky purple, compact and youthful rim.

Incredibly youthful aromas of violet, lavender, blackberry, blackcurrant, with a thyme, sage, and slightly minty undertone.

Structured for a Margaux. Big tannin, med plus acidity, and med ful bodied. The palate shows cassis, floral, potpourri, lots and lots of dark fruits, graphite, and minerals with lift and freshness. Last very long.

Tasted semi blind, guessed 2015 for its youthfulness. Jaw dropped when revealed. Testament to how the 2010 is going to become and the fact that this bottle hasn't left the chateau's cellar in 7 years! Put this away for 20 years if you have any senses. You'd be mad to open sooner! 93++ — 7 years ago

Very nice fruity wine. Light bodied with medium tannins and acidity. Blend: 80% Sangiovese and 20% Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot red fruit flavors are obvious. Very pleasantly fruity and aromatic. Oak is almost not visible. A hint of wet dog. Not very complex though. 13.5% abv — 8 years ago
