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
Domaine Dujac
Morey Saint Denis Pinot Noir 2015
This was showing well, still youthful with notes of cherry, raspberry, strawberry, earth, spice & floral — 5 days ago
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)
Grands Échézeaux Pinot Noir 2009
Simply brilliant! 2 hours slow ox and drank over the next three aromatically a bit dark, nose of tar, tobacco, dried rose petals wonderfully beautifully mid palate brilliantly balanced the wine is simply amazing! — 10 minutes ago
Domaine Georges Roumier
Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir 2016
There’s village Burgundy and then there’s Roumier Chambolle-Musigny! 2016 is in a perfect spot, ushering in secondary complexity at age nine in a captivating perfume synonymous with the Domaine, and a structured, but silky mineral inflicted palate with fine grained tannins. Roumier always hits 🫰🏻 — 25 days ago
