| WA 90-92 (12/2016): The 2015 Pommard 1er Cru Les Argillières contains 40% whole cluster and 40% new French oak. It has a refined and elegant bouquet that is very well defined: pure red cherry, crushed strawberry and rose petal notes emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, fine tannin and very well-judged acidity. Harmonious right to the finish, this will need a couple of years to fully absorb the oak, but it should give plenty of drinking pleasure over the next 12-15 years. This is excellent. Drink between 2018-2030. |

| BH 87 (1/2017): A very mild touch of reduction shaves the top notes from the earthy red berry fruit-scented nose and I would suggest decanting this first. There is a really lovely sense of underlying tension to the relatively precise and stony middle weight flavors that possess good volume and fine length. This would make an excellent choice for an all-around house red plus it should repay a few years of cellar time too. Drink starting 2019. |

Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru Signs of Old Seepage; Wine-Stained Label |

VM 95+ (10/2006): Pale, bright color. A quintessence of Corton-Charlemagne dirt on the nose: stone fruits, lemon, iodine, ginger, minerals and mint, all complicated by a musky, leesy note that reminded me of a Coche-Dury wine. Then compellingly dense and penetrating in the mouth, with captivating, soil-driven flavors of raw pineapple, white peach, white flowers and crushed rock; a sulfidey complexity and a saline element add to the wine's spectacular subtle complexity. Hardly a blockbuster but conveys an impression of great solidity. This remarkably precise wine coats the palate with dusty stone and leaves behind a suggestion of honey. My sample at Bouchard in early June was painfully young and closed though obviously Outstanding, but this bottle, tasted in New York in August, was spectacular. (Incidentally, my following notes on the Chevalier-Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte and Montrachet were from bottles tasted at Bouchard-also quite backward at the time-and I would expect my scores to prove to be conservative.)
BH 93 (11/2010): I have not had this since cask and the bottle in question had a tattered label though no apparent seepage. As such| it's difficult to know whether this bottle was indeed representative as it seemed relatively supple and forward| indeed more or less ready to drink. To be sure| there was no obvious secondary nuances in evidence and still good freshness to the rich| intense and vibrant flavors brimming with minerality on the impressively long finish. Impeccably stored bottles might need another few years to arrive at their peak but absent this bottle being an aberration| I don't think that opening one today would be infanticide. Drink now+.
WS 92 (3/2007): Tightly wound and minerally. Lean yet intense, with lemon, apple and oak spice flavors complementing the stone note. Builds nicely on the palate, fleshing out and then lingering, with an aftertaste of spice and mineral. Best from 2009 through 2020. 130 cases imported. |

Chateauneuf du Pape (1.5 L) |

|
| |
| WA 98+ (10/2012): Another amazing offering is the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Chimere, a blend of 93% Mourvedre, 5% Grenache and the rest white varietals. Packaged in a distinctive Italian glass bottle, this inky/purple-colored 2010 exhibits notes of blueberries, charcoal, roasted herbs and scorched earth. The complex aromas are followed by a full-bodied, super intense, young, unevolved wine that was bottled April 26, 2012, but still resembles a barrel sample. As the wine sits in the glass, aromas of blueberries, licorice and graphite emerge. While the tannins are sweet, they are abundant. This remarkable effort came from one 300-liter foudre. Forget it for 4-5 years and drink it over the following 3 decades. By the way, it is about 16% natural alcohol so it is actually less powerful than the 2011. Kudos to Manfred Krankl, Pascal and Vincent Maurel, and Philippe Cambie for this remarkable effort. |

| BH 88 (10/2023): A slightly riper and more deeply pitched nose blends both red and dark gamay fruit aromas with those of more evident pepper and earth elements. The old vines are in evidence as there is good power and density to the supple yet very punchy middleweight flavors that possess somewhat better balance on the austere and rustic finale that also flirts with dryness that doesn't seem to negatively affect the persistence. This would be best served with an appropriate dish. Drink starting 2027. |

Barolo |

| VM 92 (2/2021): The 2017 Barolo is a gorgeous, harmonious wine. In this vintage, the straight Barolo is a bit lighter than normal, as most wines are, but it is so impeccably balanced. Pliant and inviting, the 2017 will be pleasurable to drink in another year or two. The purity of the flavors is just striking. Red berry fruit, rose petal, mint, cinnamon and crushed rose petal are some of the many aromas and flavors that grace this exquisite Barolo from the Massolino family. So many 2017s are marked by sinewy tannins, here, they are especially fine. Antonio Galloni. |

Soave Classico Superiore Monte Carbonare |

|
| |
| VM 91 (2/2024): The 2021 Soave Classico Monte Carbonare is decidedly savory, displaying notes of crushed rocks and dried flowers that give way to white peach and hints of gingery spice. It sweeps across the palate with a silky, textural wave of liquid florals and ripe pit-fruits, riding along a core of vibrant acidity. Notions of candied lime and saline minerals linger through the long and youthfully tense finale as the 2021 leaves a confectionary air of spice. Drink between 2024-2028. Eric Guido. |
