Another revisit on this wine. Last sampled in April 2021. Similar to the previous bottle except that this had a certain sense of creaminess and polish on the finish that smoothed out the otherwise…
A beautifully smooth and creamy Romanee, now showing a more succulent side than previous more spunky bottles. In an agreeable drinking window now, though I personally miss some of the extra zip and…
One of the most consistently enjoyable 2017 1er C-Ms I've had over the past year. A great vintage from a great site. Drinking fantastic for my palate preference now right out of the bottle, with a…
Similar to my previous note. Decanting for a few hours certainly helped to bring out more of this wine's complexity and animated personality. A predominant honeyed nectarine/apricot note played…
Almost a year ago since my last note. This dips its big toe into 1er territory, if but just missing that next level of intensity and focus. It's straight delicious and overly agreeable (aka: I tapped…
Still performing well and evolving as expected from my previous tasting note last year. An inviting citrus punch that makes itself especially present mid-way through its execution adds instant…
Similar to my note in February. This has perhaps gained an extra tick of heft since my last bottle. Medium intensity and energy, but with a lemon citrus and stone fruit complexity that beckons…
Black cherry, strawberry-orange sorbet, and hints of cedar stick and mulch. Medium-bodied and a bit linear at the moment, but the flavors are extremely pure and inviting. Lighter on the tail…
Continues to impress with its swirling array of mineral-injected citrus flavors and pithy/punchy delivery. A chalky frame keeps everything in keen focus. Notable chiseled speed here. Mid-palate…
Clean, fresh, and wonderfully balanced, the Boudriotte saunters its way across the palate with pure yellow citrus flavors that are flanked by quince, grass, and mineral elements that add to its…
Lemon juice, unripe pineapple, honeysuckle, lemon seed, white pear pulp, and travertine. An exacting delivery and deliberate execution of flavors, with a serious, chiseled side to it that is…
An interesting dried apricot, floral, and almost soapy nose. On the palate, more dried apricot, fresh cut dry grass, acacia, lemon verbena, and wet white rock notes. Medium intensity, with air…
Punchy and powerful, with a speedy delivery of lip-smackingly vibrant yellow citrus and white stone fruit. Lemon juice, lemon zest, lychee, white nectarine, kaffir lime, wet white clay, and acacia…
So I know most of ya'll Burghound followers and the like need to keep the scores in the 88-92 range for whatever reason when evaluating 1er Cru Burgundy, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this…
Fresh and pure, with pleasantly viscous flavors of lemon/yellow citrus, lemon curd, vanilla, sourdough, and some white minerality. Hints of guava and honeydew also show up in the profile. Finishes…
