ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Stelvin

The founder, the highly inventive, industrious and resourceful Frank Potts (1815 - 1890), to whom this wine is dedicated, was a 19th century genius, and a pioneer who has been described as being “made of the right stuff and well worthy of the grand old land that gave him birth.” He arrived in Australia as a 21 year old, having set sail from Plymouth England, and landing late in 1836. By the 1860’s, he had planted the original 30 acres of vineyard on the banks of the Bremmer Creek. Potts was highly admired - “One meets with extraordinary characters through life, but I doubt whether his equal could be found. In appearance a stranger would take him to be a poor labourer, with a thin, spare figure and long unkempt hair and invariably wearing his shirt sleeves tucked up. Although a most uncouth-looking person, and yet this man is a perfect genius! There is not a single thing mechanical or otherwise undertaken by him which he does not succeed in...” So remarked Inspector Tolmer, who was later to become Commissioner of Police, South Australia. Frank was one of the first to recognise the benefits of red gum. After building several houses for himself, he made tools and a bullock dray to cut down and haul these massive timbers in order to construct a gigantic twin wine press and several enormous wine vats. He also created the irrigation system that's still in place today. What little spare time he might have had was spent building a piano and various race winning yachts!
A triple Trophy winning Cabernet blend that combines rich red to dark fruits with wonderful finesse and polish.
A blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Malbec, 8% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc with maturation taking place in French oak puncheons and hogsheads (25% new) for a period of 12 months. Dense midnight black colour with a deep dark red hue. Sailing out of the glass are delightful red to black currant and red plum scents laced with violets and bay leaf. Also evident are dusty cedar, faint black olive and spicy tobacco notes. Showing wonderful finesse are rich red to dark currant, red plum and mulberry fruits which caress the mid weighted palate with a supple feel. Tobacco, dusty earth and infusions of bay leaf lurk underneath. Polished, seamlessly integrated tannins with a long, refined conclusion. Winner of 3 trophies.
Drink over the next 8-10 years.

Other Reviews…..
This is a blend of 68/17/8/6/1% cabernet sauvignon/malbec/petit verdot/merlot. Bright crimson-purple hue heralds a very complex wine that has no need of time thanks to its balance, texture and length. It is an outstanding achievement and offers equally exceptional value for money. Top gold at Royal Adelaide Wine Show ’22, gold at Perth Royal Wine Show Awards ’22. Drink by 2041.

Lots of positive changes are afoot at Cape Mentelle, and I've a feeling it’s regaining its crown in the region. Nothing broken, just fine-tuning. A glass of this and all’s well. Fragrant with mulberries, cassis, nori and baking spices, the medium-bodied palate is superfine and long with textural tannins adding to the pleasure. Drink by 2038.

Glenfarclas 9 Year Old Oloroso Sherry Casks Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 44.1%

A 'different cut' that's sure to delight fans of this distillery.
Glenfarclas are known for allocating some odd age statements to their European customers. This one was bottled at a healthy ABV and is fully matured in oloroso sherry casks (likely second or third fill). From the creamy vanilla-malt nose that develops toasted grains and baked bread aromas to the unusually oily delivery, this is a gorgeous cut offering something different from the core range. Soft, rounded flavours of sponge cake, milk chocolate, cafe cremes and even a vague waxiness make for a more feminine style with oloroso merely suggested at the finish. Complexity isn't high but the texture is quite special - the kind of luxe feel you'd expect from much, much older whisky. An anomaly, particularly considering the modest asking price. 44.1% Alc./Vol.

Kitajima Miyosakae Biwako no Kujira (The Whale of Biwa Lake) Junmai Sake (720ml)

Shiga, JAPAN
$46. 99
Bottle
$563.88 Dozen

ABV: 19%

Closure: Plastic Stopper

Kitajima Brewery was established in 1805 in Shiga Prefecture near lake Biwa. As one of the oldest and most respected sake breweries in Japan, Kitajima produce a range of full flavoured and fruitier styles. Miyosakae is their traditional core range, while in 2002 they developed the Kitajima range for more innovative releases using the kimoto natural starter method. The Whale of Biwa Lake sake is unfiltered (muroka), unpasteurised (nama), and undiluted (genshu).
Tasting note: Crystalline, shimmering pale lemon colour in the glass. Initial aromas show sugar snap peas, a hint of lime zest, green melon, though it's quite restrained. After time an earthy mushroom and rice bran element emerges. Tasting chilled it's all very restrained, though as it warms the wheat and grain elements develop, supported by the pithy green fruit notes. Once at room temperature the robust nature of this genshu (undiluted) sake is more apparent, and the depth of savoury notes work well with the lean fruit profile. This should pair with a range of foods, able to match with many fatty fish dishes, and even hold up to flavourful Asian marinades and sauces. Grilled eel would be a perfect choice. Served chilled or at room temperature.

2022 Keller Feuervogel Sylvaner

Rheinhessen, GERMANY

ABV: 12.5%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
The 2022 Sylvaner Feuervogel comes from 60-year-old vines on the lighter (brighter) limestone soils in the Steingrube. It has a deep, pure, salty-spicy nose and continues this impression on the palate. Puristic and fresh, bright, clear and grippy, this is completely characterized by limestone and is enormously stimulating on the salty finish. It is a promising, still discreet but already vibrant Sylvaner that needs a little time. 12.5% stated alcohol. Drink 2027-2040.
93+ points
Stephan Reinhardt - Wine Advocate (Dec 30, 2023)
The 2022 Sylvaner Feuervogel is harvested on light limestone in the Westhofener Steingrube from 65-year-old vines. Two thousand and nine was the first vintage, and it was named Feuervogel as this bird symbolizes renewal and departure, giving new impulse to this time-honored variety in Rheinhessen. The nose is scented, almost floral, but with a limestone edge, very tender. The palate is juicy and chalky, with much riper lemon notes. It's buffered, mouth-watering, vivacious and energetic. There is slightly more ripeness and alcohol here, still with a pithy texture and chalky length. (Bone-dry) Drink 2025-2045.

Anne Krebiehl MW - Vinous
You could almost mistake this for a great gruner veltliner from the Kamptal region thanks to its white pepper aroma. This combines the substance and pithy structure we associate with high-end sylvaner with a wonderful elegance. Very long and wonderfully subtle chalky finish. So much energy here! Drink or hold.

Tank sample. This is from old vines (c 65 years) in the Steingrube and Kirchspiel vineyards, less than 30 hl/ha. Fermented in 2,400-litre barrels.
This is even richer on the nose than the Westhofen, has a note of ripe pears but also a hint of crushed stones and herby citrus – a complex aroma with a slight smokiness. The freshness is almost eye-watering but the depth of flavour, even if not easy to describe, is a perfect counterpoint, just a suggestion of ginger. Drink 2024-2035.

Tank sample. They don't analyse the wines until bottling but this probably has around 40 g/l residual sugar and TA 9.5 g/l.
Fragrant with wildflowers and wildflower honey but no real sense of sweetness in the aroma. A touch of fresh pear, slightly richer in than the Limestone. Dry and textured on the palate even with the sweetness (I usually find sweeter wines have a more rounded texture), a chalky, dry contrast with the actual sweetness in the wine. Opens to a little bit of white pepper. Dancing and expressive, that chalkiness brings it to perfect harmony. Extremely fresh acidity gives it an arrow-like heart in a scented exterior. Drink 2024-2035.

Closure: Stelvin

Daniel Vollenwieder was part of a pioneering movement of winemakers who returned to Mosel in the early 2000’s, rejuvenating abandoned vineyards. These are some of the oldest ungrafted Riesling vines in the world. The steepness of the vineyards is something to marvel, but they’ve still managed to convert the vineyards to organic practises, recently being certified. Fruit for this wine comes from the best plots in the Goldgrube.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a glimmer of green around the edges and a watery hue. Aromas of lime, spiced pear and red apple intermix with hints of honeysuckle and orange blossom. Light weight and possessing a river stone like mouth feel, flavours of lime, pear and green apple are dispersed across the palate with traces of mandarin and wet slate lingering through the back half. Finishes dry with crisp, tangy acidity and an elegant, highly energised aftertaste.

Karuizawa x Kawasaki Ghost Series No. 7 "Time Slip" Blended Japanese Whisky (700ml)

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product shown.

Using artwork from 19th-century Japanese artist Yoshitoshi Tsukioka's New Forms of Thirty-Six Ghosts, the Ghost Series from Nonjatta unfolds even more expressions from the Karuizawa distillery. Number 7 in the series, entitled "Time Slip", is one of the more unique bottlings. Blended back in the 1970s, this whisky contained both Karuizawa malt as well as Kawasaki grain distillate, which was laid down to rest under glass. Fast forward to the 1980s and the blend was transferred to ex-Karuizawa Spanish Oak for finishing, quite a long one at that being bottled in 2015. One of only 140 bottles, this looks to be one of the more drinkable releases from two legendary distilleries. Collectible.

Green River Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

Bottle

ABV: 45%

"...Green River Straight Bourbon nails it out of the gate..." - breakingbourbon.com
Crafted on the historic Green River campus in Owensboro, Kentucky, Green River is an industrial distillery with roots back to 1885 when J.W. McCulloch first marketed his product as “The Whiskey Without A Headache”. The slogan later changed to “The Whiskey Without Regrets,” in order to avoid liability for misleading medical claims. Over that time, numerous brands have been made there including Ezra Brooks, Mellow Corn, Medley Brothers, Old Medley, Five Brothers and Kentucky Beau. The distillery has also had several different owners and names. Most recently, Terressentia Corporation purchased the plant in 2014 and began renovations. In 2016, acting Master Distiller, Ron Call passed the torch to his son, Jacob, and in 2020, the distillery reclaimed its original title and Distilled Spirits Plant number (DSP-KY 10). Thus, the Green River brand which had largely faded from memory was reborn exactly where it originated. The product launch made an impact in the value Bourbon segment - so much so that Bardstown Bourbon bought the company the following Summer. The eponymous whiskey is distilled from a mash bill of 70% Corn, 21% Winter Rye, 9% Malted 2 and 6 Row Barley, then aged for over five years. Our tasting found an initially rye-accented whiskey where the dry, nutty and spicy character of the grain dominates before opening to a sweeter side. The delivery takes place in a delicious chocolatey setting, followed by a peachiness on the palate, refreshed by muddled mint. The overall style and high rye content makes this a little bit like Sazerac, but with a notable step up in body, intensity and definition. Besides pulling up slightly short, there's very little to dislike about this affable Kentuckian. Bottled at 90 proof (45%) without chill filtration.
Other reviews... salivating to puckering grain make for a dramatic entry with a sugar-candy fruitiness making up the midground. Barley sugar and heather honey sit well with the lemon blossom honey; slightly tart and would be short were it not for a metallic uplift. Tangy, even when some vanilla makes up ground; a thoroughly enjoyable character Bourbon with many contrasting features. 89.5 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2023
...Aromas of vanilla, Tootsie Roll, caramel, and cinnamon meet more fruity, acidic scents of lime, lemon, and pineapple on the nose, with a sweeter note of fresh melon. Lots of chocolate and pistachio nuttiness on the palate; it's also spicy and offers notes of bitter espresso and pepper spice. The finish is also very chocolaty and has a pleasant tartness. Well-executed flavors, though a bit short at the end. 86 points - whiskyadvocate.com
...Green River Straight Bourbon nails it out of the gate with their 5 year old stock. What makes it work is that it’s an incredibly easy sipping bourbon thanks to an agreeable flavor profile. Despite being only 90 proof, it still packs ample intensity and a pop of heat. It’s not overly complex and the finish is on the shorter side, yet it only takes one sip to know this bourbon works. If you’re looking for very drinkable bourbon at a very reasonable price, Green River Straight Bourbon is a fantastic place to start. - breakingbourbon.com

Bardstown Bourbon Co. Discovery Series #9 Blended American Whiskey (750ml)

Kentucky, UNITED STATES
$240. 00
Bottle
$2880.00 Dozen

ABV: 56.25%

A blend with the majority sourced from Georgia (35%), then Kentucky (31%), 17 year old Tennessee whiskey (19%), and Canadian whiskey (15%) making up the remainder. The flavours here seem to sit on the fence. At first it feels more like a corn-heavy Bourbon, then the rye ups the ante. Medium dry flavours pack decent concentration, trailing off with vanilla bean, peppery warmth and lots of bittersweet mint chocolate. Fades dryish, medium long and oaky. 56.25% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Toastier and woodier than Discovery #8, this blend has a bit more gravity and a considerably different — albeit still engaging — character. Malty and a bit bready on the nose, the whiskey moves over time from a pastoral aroma to one that is somewhat austere and a bit leathery. Much of that follows over to the palate, where the malty elements soon give way to a sharp citrus character, orange and lemon peel, then tobacco and more spice notes. This feels surprisingly hotter than #8, despite being lower in proof. Red pepper gives the finish some lingering burn, with cloves, ginger, and sesame oil coming on strong. Overall, it’s a bold and somewhat burly whiskey that offers plenty to love — if you can take the heat. 112.5 proof. - drinkhacker.com

Green River Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

Kentucky, UNITED STATES
$119. 99
Bottle
$1439.88 Dozen

ABV: 45%

Following a successful launch in 2022, Green River Distilling Co. expanded its range with two new expressions including this Wheated Bourbon comprised of 70 percent Kentucky-grown corn, 21 percent wheat and 9 percent 6-row barley. Said Dan Callaway, VP of New Product Development, “In contrast with Green River Bourbon, which brings a hearty backbone of rye spice, the wheated expression lends itself to easy drinking while holding its own distinct character." A small sample revealed an oiliness to the nose feel that gets close to much older Bourbons; Cherry chocolate, dried peach and light maple syrup mingle with dustings of cocoa and wood shavings. For a wheated whiskey this is a biggun': Buttery and almost succulent at mid palate, capped off by some beautifully integrated oils through the sweet oak and dark chocolate finish. At around fours years old, it's the antithesis of feminine styles like Weller Special Reserve, never really complex, but equally hard to fault. 45% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Wheated bourbons can sometimes be a bit one dimensional, especially on the nose, but this is impressively expressive from the get-go. The aroma is bright and gently sweet with loads of orchard fruit: golden apples, fresh peaches, and dried apricots. And it builds as it opens with undertones of buttery caramel and soft baking spice. The palate is a little more straightforward but impressively approachable, showcasing rounded notes of butterscotch, peanut brittle, and well-balanced oak ahead of a warming finish of vanilla frosting and orange rock candy. While it’s a well-executed young wheater, I think I like it just a bit more than the rye-based bourbon... it’s a similarly solid value. - drinkhacker.com
...At 90 proof, it’s gentle enough to sip but doesn’t get lost in a cocktail. The high percentage of wheat in the mashbill (21%, with 70% corn and 9% malted barley) makes for a soft, buttery mouthfeel, with lots of creamy vanilla and toffee, plus hints of my favorite breakfast cereal, Golden Crisp (known in my childhood as Super Sugar Crisp). A clean, gentle finish encourages repeat sipping, and perhaps a refill or two once the glass has been drained. - Tony Sachs, Forbes Magazine

Bardstown Bourbon Co. WVGBC Infrared Cherry Oak Barrel Finish Blended Rye Whiskey (750ml)

Kentucky, UNITED STATES
$240. 00
Bottle
$2880.00 Dozen

ABV: 55%

Nestled in Bardstown, the Bourbon Capital of the World, the Bardstown Bourbon Company is a new breed of whiskey maker, building a reputation for innovation while honouring tradition. The company blends Bourbon and Irish Whiskey, Canadian Whiskey and Bourbon or Bourbon and Rye as well as experimenting with a wide range of wood finishes. This bottling is a case in point: Their first cooperage collaboration, celebrating the equally forward-thinking West Virginia Great Barrel Company. A synergy in modern production led to a custom blend aged in cherry wood barrels toasted with infrared technology.
According to drinkhacker.com, "The barrels are composed of alternating staves of lightly toasted cherry oak, medium toasted cherry oak, and the more common American oak. However, it’s the final distinctive detail that gets top billing on the bottle – those toasted staves were created using infrared technology. In speaking with Bardstown Bourbon Company’s VP of Hospitality and Product Development Dan Callaway, he told me that the idea behind utilizing infrared toasting was to reduce the tannins from a second barreling. "We were looking for a cooperage to innovate with on barrel maturation and we found the infrared toasted cherry wood was a perfect match for 95/5 rye,” Dan says. “I started about 1.5 years ago and did tons of experiments with bourbon and rye, as well as different toasts.”
We received a 50ml sample. Being a blend of 6 year old Indiana rye with 12 year old Canadian whiskey, this is not exactly a mainstream style. Some of the usual sharpness and definition of the grain feels like it's been soaked up by the oak, yet even from our small taste, the flavour saturation is impressive. Medium spices and bitter dark chocolate rise to moderate the sugars, closing with a mouth coating, oily finish. Is it more like a rye or is it more like a Bourbon? Either way, it's a fascinating take. 55% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Wow, I don’t understand the mad scientist stuff they’re doing at Bardstown, with different types of oak, infrared trickery, and bringing the Canadians into this, but it’s working because Bardstown Bourbon Company West Virginia Great Barrel Company Rye is one of the best rye’s I’ve ever had. It’s almost a crime that I got a free media sample of something this good. - thewhiskeyshelf.com
Notes from the producers... Almond, cinnamon, potpourri, and baked cherry circle traditional rye notes of mint and herbal tea. A luscious mouthfeel leads to a luxurious balance between lightly tannic oak and rich berry compote.

After a run of PX single casks, Glendronach returns to its roots with a 28 year old oloroso matured malt. Like some venerable Armagnac, it starts with a bouquet that marries fabulous depth with freshness, including figs, aged fruit cake, brandy cream sauce, gingerbread, cinnamon and rancio. The palate doesn't disappoint offering all the classic Glendronach notes in a caramel setting, host to a range of dark fruits, chocolate and orange peel; the sweetness of the raisin and apricot tuned to the malt. Arguably bottled at the perfect time with some minor astringency creeping in, Glendronach are leading the way with single casks at prices that blow competitors like Macallan out of the water.

Les Longeroies is a relatively large vineyard located in the north of the Marsannay sector on the border with Chenove. The upper part of the vineyard has large amounts of limestone just below the surface, while the lower section has more red marl. Les Longeroies is one of the prime candidates to be promoted to premier cru status, and the wines from here are incredibly refined, yet also serious and well structured.

An incredibly moreish Rose that’s impossible to resist.

Brilliant salmon pink colour with delightful scents of red cherry, peach and raspberry streaming out of the glass. Hints of rose petals, musk and wet stone adding further interest.

2019 Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port

Douro Valley, PORTUGAL
$2999. 00
Bottle
$35988.00 Dozen

ABV: 19.5%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
The 2019 Vintage Port Nacional is a field blend, mostly Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, Sousão and Tinta Roriz, aged for 18 months in old wood. It was bottled May 4, 2021, with 100 grams of residual sugar and 19.4% alcohol. This opened rather differently than the regular Noval Port this report, showing more open and expressive fruit, more cherries and even more power as they both aired out. The aromatics are excellent here too, but more fruit driven. When I came back to both some two days later, this brilliant and graceful Nacional made the wonderful regular Noval seem clumsy. It's the difference in styles, really, and reasonable minds might differ in preference, but this Nacional has more precision and more finesse. It is brighter and laser-like focused with an expression of fruit that seems so pure that you can almost think they used a spoon to fill the bottle after just crushing the grapes. The regular Noval, by contrast, seems rounder, more full-bodied and richer, albeit less defined.
They both have a fair share of power. On first taste, the regular Noval seemed less powerful. Two days later, it seemed more powerful, but the Nacional fruit was always more interesting and far more intense in its character. Three days later, there was certainly still plenty of firmness on the Nacional finish. If the structure is excellent, the fruit is sensational. Three days after opening, the fruit had not budged an inch, showing nothing but exuberance and youth. The juicy finish of this very fresh Porto seals the deal. True, it was in bottle only about two months or so when tasted, but its quality is not in question. If you want a collectible and can afford it, this is the easy pick. If neither of those is true, the regular Noval offers way more bang for the buck. Both have significant aging potential. As promising as the regular Noval is, however, this seems to have a lot more upside as well as a lot more "wow" factor.
I have given this wine a drinking window that begins in about 10 years, but of course, that is a minimum for this as well as the regular Noval. These days, Ports are more refined, so you can theoretically start sooner, most of the time. In truth, it will need 20 years before it is firing on all cylinders. Purists will suggest longer. Drink 2029 - 2075.

Mark Squires - Wine Advocate (Jul 23, 2021)
Last but certainly not least, the 2019 Quinta do Noval Naçional Vintage Port comes from Noval’s un-grafted vines and undergoes essentially the same maturation as the regular Noval. It is more backward on the nose compared to the Noval, demands time to open, before eventually revealing black cherries, tar, tobacco and clove. A touch of smoke and eucalyptus make an appearance with time. The palate is absolutely sublime with a perfectly judged line of acidity; a Naçional that is full of tension and energy, finely chiselled tannins and an enthralling crescendo towards the spicy and peppery finish. This is quite profound. Drink 2033-2070.

James Suckling
Pure perfection in Port, the 2019 Vintage Port Nacional is riveting stuff in every sense, and I certainly can't imagine it being any better. Coming from a single parcel of older vines and a field blend (it's primarily Touriga Nacional) brought up in older wood, it's one of those ports that brings incredible intensity, richness, and power while somehow staying perfectly balanced, pure, and light on its feet, with its fruit, alcohol, and structure just flawlessly integrated. It's also incredibly complex, even at this young stage, offering red, blue, and black fruits as well as sandalwood, Asian spice, dried flowers, iron, black olive, and graphite on the nose. While the base Noval closed down quite quickly, this showed consistently over the three days I had the bottles open, never showing any sign of fatigue or oxidation, and given its incredible balance, it was the wine I chose to pour a small glass of each evening as well. While the 2020 is all about power and richness, this is an utterly complex, compelling, insanely good Port that I wish I could pour for every reader. While it offers ample pleasure today (count me in the group that enjoys young Port), I would hide any bottles I might have for at least 7-8 years, and it should have 50, 60, 70 years of longevity? This beauty will unquestionably outlive most of us today. Drink 2030 - 2090.

Cellar: Drink now - 10 Years (2024-2034)

Closure: Cork

Domaine de la Janasse are one of the leading estates in Chateauneuf du Pape today, having been formed in the mid twentieth century by Aimé Sabon and named after the family farm “La Janasse” located in Courthézon. Over time Aimé has expanded their holdings from 15 hectares to now occupy 90 hectares of vines, including some of the finest parcels on the La Crau plateau. Today the domaine is run by siblings Isabelle and Christophe Sabon, each heavily involved in all aspects of production from vineyard to bottling.
Chaupin is a 100% Grenache cuvee with the vines planted as far back as 1912, each parcel planted on sandy soils. Grenache on sand produces wines with an elegant and refined character.
Dense black as night colour with a deep dark red hue. Wafting from the glass are intoxicating black raspberry, black cherry and liquorice scents which are intermeshed with Provincial herb, peppered meat, scorched earth and spice notes. Combining glorious richness and power with structure, flamboyant black raspberry, liquorice and black cherry liqueur flavours are framed by a robust tannin framework that lends a sinewy feel to the otherwise voluptuous palate. Out of this world intensity and a dense textural feel are counterpointed by good underlying freshness. Lingering through the exceptionally long, brooding and muscular finish are notions of herbs du Provence, dried meats, spice and peppered earth elements.
Drink over the next 8-10 years.

Marked by scents of garrigue, raspberries and black cherries, the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Chaupin is full-bodied, rich and tannic but also incredibly ripe and long. The betting here is that the fruit outlasts the tannins and that the wine develops similarly to the stunning 2005. Drink 2025-2040.

I was able to taste the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Chaupin on two occasions, rating it one point higher on one of those as well. Incredible notes of red and black fruits, violets, scorched earth, ground pepper, and Provençal garrigue notes define the nose, and it’s a darker, richer, slightly more powerful wine than usual, while still showing the inherent elegance and finesse this cuvée always shows. Give bottles 2-3 years and enjoy over the following 15-20. Don’t miss it! Drink 2023 - 2044.

Other Reviews....
This is more elegant still with its overtly floral array of essence of ripe red cherry that is nuanced by a hint of exotic tea. The sleek, intense and more mineral-driven flavors don't possess the same size and weight, but they do offer more refinement on the wonderfully long finale. This could use better depth but that should reasonably develop if given a chance. Drink through 2030+.

Assembled in tank. One third whole bunch vinification was used. Mostly Chatelots, where there is very little earth, with Feusselottes. Again the bouquet has a pleasing floral quality and is more in red fruit behind. Just a little bit drier behind though that might be in part the wood which is currently showing more strongly.

Other Reviews....
Here the spicy, elegant and pure nose of both red and dark currant, Asian-style tea, sandalwood and anise is noticeably fresher. The freshness carries over to the palate impression of the tension-filled and beautifully detailed middleweight flavors that are markedly finer before terminating in a hugely long, firm, youthfully austere and impeccably well-balanced finale. The Clos de Vougeot is certainly good, but this classy effort possesses an extra dimension of depth. Drink through 2035+.

Tasted from barrel, unracked. All destemmed because Louis thinks it has all the finesse it needs. He has yet to try whole bunches on his Romanée St-Vivant. Mid purple colour. A very light reduction which is being hastily pushed aside by the quality of the fruit. Heady stuff without imbalance and it has its own peppery feel. Dark red fruit with a little liquorice, and the faintest of phenolic notes.
