Lovely wine — 7 days ago
Medium dark rubi robe, slightly faded brick on the sides. Nose of spices, mint and cherries. Very light on its feet with medium bodied feel, elegant and complex, spicy and floral. Truly excellent. We bought a case in 2007 and bottles have been in the cellar all these years. This is truly excellent and no rush. We had diner tonight to comemorate Adriana’s birthday. — a month ago
Richebourg! The seal lolled designed for multi century storage! The most difficult cork I have ever had to open! But the reward was a perfect bottle that grew in complexity. The last few dinners combining a white and red have gone really well! — 25 days ago
One of the best village wines in the biz, and 2021 is already drinking beautifully, quite different than the richer 19 and 20’s, but soft, pure and seductively elegant with amazing transparency and detail, and a liquid velvet texture. Last sips were the best. Love these wines! — 2 months ago
2013 vintage. Both excellent fill and cork. Decanted with infinitesimal sed. Slightly silvery color. Tasted after 1.5 and 2.5 hours open. Medium body. Nose slightly reticent during both tastes. Black tea and eucalyptus prominent first go round with both those still present but minimized second pass. Sprinkle in some cracked black pepper and white sage for round two and we have a winner. Finish lasted over a minute and the concentration was as expected given the decent street cred. No rush to crush but open waay early/decant this if enjoying in the next handful of years. 10.24.24. — a month ago

Stunningly great. Lots of depth and solid bones but the heavenly enveloping feeling was what put this over the top. The fruit was well developed. — 7 days ago
