Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair Grand Cru 'Richebourg' 2019
Here too the nose is overtly floral in character though relative to the Les St. Georges the dark berry fruit aromas are much more exotic and spicier. The sleekly muscular, intense and broad-shouldered flavors possess outstanding mid-palate density and power before culminating in a robust, firmly structured and wonderfully complex finale where the only reproach is a touch of warmth. This is a rich and classically styled Richebourg that is very definitely built-to-age as it should be. Drink: 2036+

Roagna Barbaresco Crichët Pajè 2013

Roagna Barbaresco Crichët Pajè 2013

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

This! I can’t think of a better wine to end this tasting with than with the 2013 Barbaresco Crichët Pajé. Tasted from magnum, the 2013 dazzles with its combination of explosive energy and sheer elegance. Rose petals, cinnamon, crushed rocks, mint and white pepper are some of the many notes that emerge from this wonderfully complex, dynamic Barbaresco. Quite simply, the 2013 is unforgettable.

Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Grand Cru 'Musigny' Vielles Vignes 2023
Note: from an incredible 6.46 ha parcel, which doesn't include the .67 ha section planted to chardonnay. A more restrained if just as pretty and equally perfumed nose displays a similar array of red and dark cherry, exotic jasmine tea and dried orange peel along with a hint of sandalwood. On the palate the broad-shouldered and even more concentrated flavors manage the trick of being more powerful but also more refined with an almost aggressive minerality that seems to build in intensity on the c

Cappellano Barolo 'Piè Franco' MAGNUM 2017
The 2017 Barolo Piè Franco is back to being a wine of pure and total sensuality. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry, mint chalk and white pepper are some of the many notes that grace this ethereal, elusive Barolo. The 2017 is the sort of wine you want to spend an entire afternoon immersed in. Hints of rosewater, kirsch, mint and dried autumn leaves linger.Antonio Galloni - NR as per request from Cappellano

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Chambertin Grand Cru 2019

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Chambertin Grand Cru 2019

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

"Trapet's 2019 Chambertin Grand Cru is a profound wine in the making, and it can keeps company with vintage's finest. Wafting from the glass with deep aromas of cherries and cassis, complemented by notions of raw cocoa, blood orange, smoked meats, rich soil tones and spices, it's full-bodied, multidimensional and complete, with a weightless, elegant profile despite its prodigious concentration, its structuring tannins entirely concealed in an ample core of lively, vibrant fruit."William Kell

Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat Grand Cru 'Romanée-Saint-Vivant' 2021
The 2021 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is a real success, soaring from the glass with aromas of raspberries, peonies, exotic spices, loamy soil, orange zest and vine smoke. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with a satiny attack and a seamless, sensual mid-palate, it concludes with a long, perfumed finish.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 94-95 Points BH 94

The 2021 Richebourg Grand Cru is terrific, wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries, orange zest, sweet spices, rose petals and licorice, followed by a full-bodied, rich and layered palate that's impressively muscular and multidimensional, built around ripe tannins and lively acids, and concluding with a long, expansive finish.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 94-96 Points BH 94

Domaine de Montille Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru 'Aux Malconsorts' MAGNUM 2022
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, once again the nose is overtly floral in character with its exuberantly spicy nose of various dark berries, soy, exotic tea and sandalwood. The sleek, intense and delineated flavors are at once refined yet powerful with a taut muscularity becoming more apparent on the dusty, youthfully austere and stony finish that is compact and very serious. Patience. (from a .97 ha holding; 80% whole clusters). Drink: 2034+ ♥ Don’t miss! OutstandingAllen

Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat Grand Cru 'Romanée-Saint-Vivant' 2022
A highly restrained and decidedly cool nose requires aggressive swirling to coax the wonderfully spicy red pinot fruit, floral and exotic tea scents from the glass. On the palate the super-refined, energetic and well-detailed middleweight flavors possess a lilting, pure and highly refined mouthfeel thanks primarily to the beautifully fine-grained tannins supporting the striking long, balanced and lightly austere finale. This is very classy juice. Don't miss!Allen Meadows, Burghound 94-97 Po

Pinot Noir | Vosne-Romanée, Burgundy

An even spicier nose reflects notes of exotic black tea, dark cherry, incense, hoisin, plum liqueur and a broad range of floral elements. The gorgeously textured medium weight flavors are once again not especially dense yet manage to display impressive power on the dusty, compact and hugely long finish, indeed this offers the best persistence in the entire range. In sum, this is stunningly good with the development potential to match. Don't Miss!Allen Meadows, Burghound 94-97 Points

Giacomo Conterno Barolo Riserva 'Monfortino' 2019

Giacomo Conterno Barolo Riserva ‘Monfortino’ 2019

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

3-Bottle Orders come in a Wooden Box It's been a while, alas. The last vintage of this legendary wine was 2015. Skipping forward to a year of natural richness and concentration, the Giacomo Conterno 2019 Barolo Riserva Monfortino is a magnificently executed wine. It carefully reins in the soaring power of Nebbiolo and whittles it down to extreme finesse and precision. This is the essence of the grape with no extra bells or whistles. Roberto Conterno tells me he chose not to make Monfortino in 20

Domaine Ponsot Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2020

Pinot Noir | Morey-Saint-Denis, Burgundy

If I were to name the best Burgundy I’d drunk, Clos de la Roche from Domaine Ponsot would be near the top of the list.A mentholated top note is present on the wonderfully broad-ranging nose of notably ripe cassis, black raspberry, violet, crushed fennel and all but invisible oak hints. There is superb concentration to the big-bodied and intense flavors that coat the palate with dry extract that does a fine job of buffering the exceptionally firm tannins shaping the brilliantly persistent a
