| BH 94 (4/2013): (from a huge 3.98 ha parcel.) Initially there is a touch of reduction though aggressive swirling liberates the admirably pure, fresh and elegant nose of a plenitude of floral notes along with a ripe mix of red berries and iron, stone and earth hints. There is good power and excellent complexity to the wonderfully well-delineated medium weight flavors that possess fine phenolic ripeness and superb energy on the focused, linear and stunningly long and saline-infused finish. This is a seriously impressive effort that is built to age. Drink 2025+. Outstanding! |

BH 93-95 (1/2012): (from a .53 ha parcel) A fresh but quite restrained and noticeably cool nose of herb and stone-infused wild red berry fruit aromas precedes impressively intense, powerful and agreeably rich medium-bodied flavors that ooze a fine minerality on the wonderfully detailed flavors that explode on the mouth coating and overtly stony finish. Like the Suchots, this is one impressive effort with Outstanding upside potential though note that at least 15 years of cellar time will be required. Drink 2025+. Don't miss!
VM 90-92 (1/2012): (from 55-year-old vines picked six days after the Vosne-Romanee premier crus in 2010): Good full, bright medium red. Aromas of small wild dark berries, licorice, coffee and sweet oak perked up by pepper and herbs. Fat and sweet, but without quite the definition of the Reignots, Clos Vougeot or Echezeaux. With its creamy, candied qualities and herbal edge, this suggests a wider range of fruit ripeness than most of the other 2010s here. A bit clenched on the back. |

BH 91-94 (4/2012): A recalcitrant nose grudgingly offers up notes of cassis, plum, black cherry and floral nuances. There is a redoubtable size, weight and power to the overtly muscular flavors that are underpinned by excellent concentration and very firm but ripe tannins that impart a dusty texture to the explosively long finish. Like the Latricières, this seems to have everything that it needs except for first-rate complexity. My score assumes that this will arrive in time. Drink 2025+. Don't miss!
VM 91-94 (2/2012): Bright dark red. Compelling nose offers raspberry, blueberry, clove, smoky minerality, coffee and mocha. Highly concentrated and vibrant, with a distinctly saline character leavening the wine's sweetness. The strong brown spice element carries through on the palate. Finishes very long but a bit youthfully brutal, with strong, almost tart acidity. This will need extended aging to come into harmony. |

| VM 97 (3/2013): Saturated ruby-red. Superripe yet elegant aromas of blackberry coulis, bitter chocolate, smoky minerals and violet. Pure silk on entry, then remarkably sappy and delineated in the middle, if less expressive today than the 2011 version (it would be a rare treat to compare these two vintages in ten years). For a wine with a serious tannic spine this is remarkably delicate. Finishes with outstanding subtle rising length and exhilarating violet lift. Very pinot fin in its exotic character. Forget about this one for 10 or 12 years. Stephen Tanzer. |

| BH 93 (4/2012): ( from a 4 ha parcel.) Noticeable though not overt wood influence sets off a very ripe nose composed of liqueur of plum, cassis and wild raspberry aromas. There is excellent richness to the round and relatively powerful medium weight flavors blessed with an abundance of dry extract that buffers the otherwise very firm, long and serious finish. This is also notably austere and extremely compact at present and as such it seems reasonably clear that it will not be a good candidate for early drinking. Drink 2020+. Don't miss! Outstanding! |

| BH 94 (4/2012): (from Domaine-owned fruit in two similarly sized parcels - one at the top and the other at the bottom of the slope.) This is really quite aromatically refined, indeed the expressive nose is highly perfumed and speaks of floral, plum and black cherry scents layered with a subtle earthiness. The sense of refinement continues onto the palate as the focused, intense and sleekly muscular flavors evidence good power on the balanced, long and only moderately austere finish. As Clos de Vougeot typically goes, this is a very refined example. Drink 2025+. Don't miss! |

| BH 94 (4/2012): A brooding but impressively complex nose features notes of red currant, plum, earth and plenty of that Corton sauvage character. The textured, intense and broad-shouldered flavors possess excellent mid-palate concentration with fully mature structural elements. There is ample buffering sap, which is important as one would reasonably expect, this is a big and sleekly muscled wine with an explosively long, linear and overtly austere finish. The potential here is mostly impressive though note that plenty of patience is requisite. Drink 2025+. Don't miss! |

| BH 92 (4/2012): A classic and exceptionally fresh Vosne nose is replete with a wide variety of Asian spice scents that include anise, clove and cinnamon on the notably ripe cassis and black cherry aromas. There is a highly seductive quality to the mouth coating, velvety and suave middle weight flavors that exude a fine dry extract on the silky yet firm finish. This is not quite as complex as the very best of the Bouchard 1ers but this has its own considerable appeal. Drink 2020+. Outstanding! |

| BH 89-92 (1/2012): (from a .60 ha parcel of 40+ year old vines.) A relatively elegant nose features notes of red currant, blue berry and violets that merge seamlessly into round, pure and refined middle weight flavors that possess both good concentration and fine structural element ripeness, all wrapped in a mouth coating, firm and long finish. I like the balance here and despite the firmness of the tannins, this isn't rustic. Drink 2018+. |

There is good volume and richness to the opulent and suave medium-bodied flavors that display relatively fine detail on the firm and ever-so-mildly rustic finish.

VM 92-94 (2/2012): Good deep red-ruby. Black cherry, licorice and violet on the nose; smells deep. Very ripe and sweet, with firm spine to the flavors of black fruits and violet. The substantial sweet, fine tannins really melt into the finish. Conveys an almost chocolatey ripeness while maintaining excellent verve.
BH 91-94 (4/2012): (from an enormous 4.8 ha parcel with vines ranging from 50 to 65 years of age). A beautifully layered nose of purple fruit, violets and soil tones leads to exceptionally rich, velvety and sappy medium weight plus flavors that brim with dry extract that does a fine job of buffering the very firm but not hard tannic spine on the dusty and mocha-infused finish. This is a big but reasonably refined and well-balanced Epenots that is built for the long haul. Drink 2025+. Sweet Spot Outstanding! |

| VM 93+ (8/2012): The 2010 Beaune Clos des Mouches, one of the Drouhin's flagships, is impossibly young. It needs several years, at a minimum, to shed some of its baby fat. Clos des Mouches has a great track record of aging, and while I rarely take the risk of cellaring white Burgundy these days, if I were to cellar a handful of 2010 whites, Clos des Mouches would be one of my choices. Today, it is the wine's exceptional textural elegance and precise, saline minerality that make the deepest impression. Antonio Galloni. |

| BH 91 (1/2013): A deft touch of wood frames an airy, cool and admirably pure nose of cassis, spice, floral scents and ripe red berry fruit aromas. There is a lovely inner mouth perfume to the vibrant and intense middle weight flavors that display a soft minerality that carries over to the dusty and lingering finish. The supporting tannins are well-integrated and I particularly like the highly sophisticated mouth feel. This firm and beautifully balanced effort will very likely require 10 to 12 years of cellar time. Drink 2020+. Outstanding! |

VM 96 (3/2013): Bright, deep red. Pungent, vibrant nose combines dark raspberry, smoked meat, sandalwood, musky herbs, minerals and lower-pitched earth tones. Dense, sappy and expansive, boasting Outstanding lift and energy to its sharply delineated flavors of dark cherry, berry skin, flowers and white pepper. There's no easy sweetness to this great Clos de Beze, which finishes with noble tannins and compelling subtle persistence.
WS 95 (4/2013): Well-marked by oak, showing smoke and spice notes, with ample black cherry, currant and mineral flavors adding depth. The tannins are dominant but not overbearing, offering balance on the long finish of fruit and spice. Best from 2016 through 2032. 100 cases imported.
BH 94-97 (1/2012): (from a 1.29 ha parcel.) A highly spiced nose features notes of cool red currant, plum, violets and wet stone along with ample amounts of pungent Gevrey style earth. There is impressive richness and size to the powerful and well-concentrated large-scaled flavors that are underpinned by buried tannins before culminating in a huge finish that is also monumentally proportioned. This built-to-age beauty will also require a considerable amount of patience as it should see its 50th birthday without undue effort. Drink 2030+. Don't miss! |

| BH 95-98 (1/2012): This is aromatically similar to the "regular" cuvee of the Clos de Bèze but not identical as it's slightly spicier and notably more restrained, indeed even backward. The big-bodied, opulent and exceptionally rich flavors enjoy huge depth of material that renders the firm and ripe tannins almost invisible at present though I expect that they will become much more prominent in time. This stunningly long and perfumed effort will require at least 20 years of cellar time before it can fully resolve its structure. Until then, lots of patience will be necessary for this 'wow' wine to arrive at its full maturity. Drink 2030+. |

WS 94 (4/2013): The cherry, raspberry, earth, spice and mineral flavors are offset by smoky oak and solid tannins in this well-defined red. Vibrant and long, offering oak spice and mineral on the finish. This should develop beautifully. Best from 2016 through 2035. 100 cases imported.
BH 93-96 (1/2012): (from both Mazis Haut and Bas where the vines total a remarkable 1.20 ha.) A very deeply pitched nose that displays fresh red and dark berry fruit and floral aromas along with notes of the sauvage that continue over to the serious and very solidly structured big-bodied flavors. This is an impressively scaled wine yet the supporting tannins are relatively fine though quite dense and as such, the overall impression is one of robust power even if it is refined in its delivery. This is going to require a long cellar stay but it should be magnificent when it finally emerges. Drink 2028+.
VM 92-95 (2/2012): Good deep red. Reduced aromas of game and silex reminded me of a Corton grand cru. Fat and sweet but a bit monolithic today compared to the Latricieres, without quite the same impression of inner-palate energy of delineation. Best today on the very long, thick, unflagging finish. This very large-scaled wine still needs more elevage. |

VM 91 (3/2013): Good bright, full red. High-pitched aromas of tangy red and darker berries and rose petal, complemented by lower-toned earth and smoke notes. Boasts terrific volume for village wine: dense, salty and soil-driven, with raspberry fruit complicated by earth and minerals. Really stimulates the taste buds on the smooth, long, lightly saline finish. Terrific village wine.
WA 90-92 (2/2012): The 2010 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is striking. Attractive floral aromatics meld into expressive fruit in this sweet, perfumed wine. Dark red cherries, freshly cut flowers, mint and hard candy wrap around the sensual, fragrant finish. This is a very classy showing. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.
BH 89-91 (1/2012): (from Champs Perrières in Brochon.) This is also exceptionally fresh and complex and the composition of the aromas is much the same as the Aux Echezeaux except perhaps here they are ever-so-slightly more elegant. The textured, intense and solidly well-concentrated medium weight flavors possess real verve on the delineated, balanced and focused finish. This also is an excellent villages that is built to age and is also worthy of your consideration. Drink 2018+. Outstanding! |

This impressive complexity is continued by the rich, intense and driving broad-shouldered flavors that are an exercise in restraint, all wrapped in a balanced, austere and incredibly persistent finish. This is one intense and muscular effort yet all of the size and weight manifests itself harmoniously, indeed there is absolutely nothing rustic about this. In a word, wonderful. Drink 2027+.

WA 91-93 (2/2012): The 2010 Nuits St. Georges Clos des Porrets Saint-Georges is the first wine in this lineup that shows the structure of the vintage. Freshly cut flowers, minerals, graphite and black cherries are woven into a textured fabric of notable class. I especially like its energy and drive. A precise, finely-chiseled finish rounds things out nicely. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.
VM 91-93 (2/2012): Good full red. Redcurrant, raspberry, crushed stone and smoky minerality on the rather serious nose. At once silky and tangy in the mouth, with raspberry and stone flavors dominating. A step up in breadth and dimension from the foregoing wines, offering lovely inner-mouth perfume. Very representative of the south side of the village: "never with explosive fruit early," notes Gouges. Has the firm tannin/acid structure to age. This large Clos comprises 3.8 hectares of vines.
BH 90-92 (1/2012): (a 3.5 ha monopole with 30+ year old vines). Reduction dominates the nose. By contrast to the funky nose, there is a lovely inner mouth perfume to the precise, intense and vibrant middle weight plus flavors that possess good volume. There is admirable persistence on the quite firm finish that is at once pure and actually rather refined, which is not always the case with this wine. Worth a look. Drink 2022+. |

WS 94 (12/2014): A perfect storm of bright cherry, black currant, spice and mineral flavors, this offers a silky texture and innate power in the form of intensity and gripping, well-integrated tannins. Offers fine harmony and expression, and is surprisingly open now, with plenty of time to develop. Best from 2016 through 2032. 250 cases made.
VM 93+ (3/2013): Good full red. Very subdued nose hints at redcurrant, spicy herbs and underbrush. Highly concentrated but youthfully tight, with a lightly saline quality to the complex flavors of blueberry, wild herbs, sandalwood and mocha. Just this side of thick but its superb balance of sweetness and acidity keeps it vibrant in the mouth. The long, ripely tannic finish features an exhilarating salty minerality. I may be underrating this. |

VM 96+ (3/2013): (13.8% alcohol "with a bit of chaptalization," according to winemaker Charles Van Canneyt): Deep, full red. Very recent but pure nose eventually reveals scents of musky wild red fruits and smoky, stony minerality; a real essence of Burgundy. Deep and thick on the palate; dense with extract and utterly smooth too but with explosive energy suggesting that this wine will repay long aging. Finishes with Outstanding rising smoky persistence and powerful stony minerality. These 2010s, bottled in February of 2012, display extraordinary digestibility. Stephen Tanzer.
BH 95 (1/2013): (from vines that abut those of the Domaine de la Romanee-Conti in Richebourg proper.) Here the reduction is present also but at least there is some spiciness in evidence. There is excellent richness and muscle to the big-bodied and impressively vibrant medium weight plus flavors that possess fine mid-palate concentration before culminating in a palate staining and magnificently long finish. There is power here but overall this is more a Riche of elegance than brawn. I very much like the potential but caution compels me to point out that the reduction is a concern though again with this wine it seems less like a permanent problem. Drink 2025+. |

| BH 92-95 (4/2012): A perfumed and highly spiced nose of red and blue pinot fruit that is liberally sprinkled with notes of cassis, spice, stone and a touch of wood toast. The rich, cool and intensely mineral-driven flavors possess a seductively suave palate impression before terminating in a superbly complex, balanced and persistent finish. 2010 seems to have been an especially successful vintage for Amoureuses and this is one more corroborating effort that should improve for 15 to 20 years. Drink 2025+. Outstanding! |

| BH 92 (4/2013): There is a discreet application of wood to the elegant, pure and lightly spiced nose of layered black raspberry and cassis nose that is also barely visible on the mineral-driven, intense and tension-filled medium-bodied flavors. There is excellent volume and plenty of mid-palate stuffing because while this is certainly a wine of finesse, it does not lack for character or seriously impressive persistence on the gorgeously balanced if distinctly austere finish. A wine of class and grace that will need plenty of cellar time as it has already begun to shut down. Drink 2022+. Outstanding! |

| BH 94 (4/2013): ( from 90+ year old vines that are worked by horse.) A notably floral and elegant nose of ripe yet high-toned aromas of essence of red pinot fruit combines with subtle spice, game and warm earth nuances. There is a velvety mouth feel yet good precision to the wonderfully rich flavors that possess a high level of phenolic maturity before terminating in a refined, pure and delicately balanced finish. An exercise in harmony and grace that should allow it to age brilliantly yet not be completely uncivilized if you wanted to try one young. In two words, absolutely stunning. Drink 2025+. |

| BH 91 (4/2013): Very discreet wood sets off exuberantly spicy aromas of plum, cassis and black raspberry liqueur. There is an ultra-sophisticated mouth feel to the silky-textured medium-bodied flavors that are blessed with so much extract that they culminate in an incredibly suave yet balanced finish that is built to age. There is a very mild touch of backend dryness that is likely due to the bottling and will probably round out in time but it does cause me to score this slightly lower than I otherwise might have. Drink 2022+. Outstanding! |

Like any number of prior wines, the flavors and finish are underpinned by extremely fine-grained but dense tannins and while this remains a powerful wine, it is relatively sophisticated by the typical standards of Malconsorts.

BH 94 (1/2013): (produced from two large parcels of differing vine age - one that is approximately two-thirds of the blend and is now 45 years of age and a second, smaller group of vines that is approximately 20+ years of age; vinified with 100% whole clusters.) A highly expressive and very broad nose of superb aromatic complexity that includes earth, game, spice, red currant, plum, violets and a hint of the sauvage. The round and supple flavors possess outstanding detail and while the complexity doesn't quite match that of the exquisite nose, it's not far behind and this culminates in a beautifully balanced and harmonious finish that delivers striking persistence. I also had a chance to retaste the 2009 and it is bigger, richer and more powerful while the 2010 is much more of a wine of finesse and refinement. In a word, beautiful. Drink 2022+.
VM 93+ (3/2013): Good bright, deep red. Very closed but pure and stylish nose hints at cherry liqueur and spices, with elements of mulch and pepper emerging with air. Dense, tactile and large-boned, but with its flesh somewhat suppressed today. Finishes saline, concentrated and thick, with substantial granular tannins. This needs at least six to eight more years in bottle to expand, and may well deserve an even higher score by 2020. Stephen Tanzer. |

VM 94-96 (2/2012): The 2010 Clos Saint Denis is all about textural finesse and effortless grace. Layers of sweet perfume emerge from this harmonious, understated Burgundy. White flowers and licorice add dimension and volume on the finely knit finish. Antonio Galloni.
BH 93-95 (4/2012): ( from 90+ year old vines.) Mild reduction makes it difficult to say much beyond that the underlying fruit appears ripe. The rich and exceptionally stylish flavors combine finesse with superb authority as there is a real palate impact that is emphasized by the striking intensity. There is a wonderful sense of tension to the mouth coating finish that is shaped by dense but ultra-fine tannins. In a word, magnificent. Drink 2025+. Don't miss! |

BH 97 (1/2013): This is discreet and reserved with a gorgeously complex nose that offers up notes of violets, cassis, black berry, clove, sandalwood and anise hints. There is a palpable sense of energy to the brilliantly well-delineated, cool and restrained flavors that possess Outstanding mid-palate concentration with focused power and a strong mineral component that culminate in a driving and explosive finish. What is interesting here though is that the power is delivered with no apparent weight and the supporting tannins are wonderfully sophisticated. While there is some of the trademark youthful austerity it seems less pronounced in 2010 than in some other recent vintages. A magnificent and perfectly balanced effort of pure silk that should age accordingly and this is undoubtedly one of the best wines in a great vintage. Drink 2025+.
WA 95-97 (2/2012): The 2010 La Romanee blossoms from the glass in every direction. At present it comes across as extremely primary, with very little in the way of aromatic development. The tannins are firm yet well-balanced, which bodes very well for the future. The sheer purity and integrity of the fruit is remarkable. This is a dazzling wine, but very, very young. A recent bottle of the 2009 was equally stratospheric. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2040. |

This is a stunner of a Les Cras; in fact it's absolutely textbook and I really like the ample amount of underlying tension. Drink 2022+. Outstanding! |

BH 94 (1/2013): ( the Liger-Belair vines in this small vineyard run from top to bottom whereas the others are situated in segments; Cathiard is on top, Grivot in the middle and Arnoux at the bottom.) A wonderfully seductive and extravagantly perfumed nose of spice and black fruit liqueur adds considerable interest to the intensely mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that possess a highly sensuous mouth feel, all wrapped in a transparent, tension-filled and impeccably well-balanced finish that delivers truly superb length. This is an exceptionally classy and refined effort and if you can find it, buy it. Drink 2022+. Outstanding!
VM 93+ (4/2013): Good deep red. Deeper-pitched, more earth-dominated aromas of dark raspberry, meat, leather and smoke. Intensely flavored but youthfully tight, with soil and game flavors currently dominating primary fruits. In a distinctly more meaty and less obviously sweet style than the Petits-Mont but with superb energy on the back. From a mix of 90-, 60- and 40-year old vines.
WA 93-95 (2/2012): The 2010 Vosne-Romanee Les Reignots wraps around the palate with layers of fruit in an understated style that is quite appealing. The Reignots is all about detail and nuance. Raspberries, crushed flowers and sweet spices waft from the glass on the soft, sensual finish. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030. |

VM 93+ (4/2013): Good deep medium red. Musky red cherry, smoky minerality and a medicinal nuance on the nose. Sweet, large-scaled and concentrated but without quite the class of the Boudots or Clos Vougeot. Powerful, medicinal and very backward, finishing with youthfully tough tannins and palate-staining salty and crushed stone flavors. Great potential here but I would not want to drink a bottle anytime soon.
BH 92-95 (1/2012): This is slightly riper and decidedly more complex than either of its two Corton stable mates with a broad ranging nose of plum and dark berry fruit that is liberally laced with sauvage and earth notes. This is a big wine with rich and very concentrated large-bodied flavors where the supporting tannins are buried beneath an impressive reserve of dry extract, all wrapped in a long, deep and powerful finish. Along with the Echezeaux, this may be the most overlooked wine in the Meo portfolio which I find quite curious given how consistently it delivers. Drink: 2025+
WA 92-94 (2/2012): The 2010 Corton Clos Rognet is a bit richer, rounder and sweeter than the Perrieres. It fleshes out nicely in the glass with sweet dark red cherries, flowers, minerals and spices. This is a relatively delicate, feminine Rognets. The fruit gains considerable volume through the finish without ever losing its underlying minerality. This is first-class juice all the way. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2040. |

BH 95-97 (1/2012): ( from a .37 ha parcel in Les Veroilles of 40+ year old vines save for a very tiny parcel in Richebourg proper.) This is almost aromatically mute at present and while a plethora of spice notes are visible, it requires aggressive swirling to liberate them. As with the Brûlees, there is an intoxicating inner mouth perfume where the opulence of the spice notes really becomes obvious. The stony, intense and strikingly well-detailed broad-shouldered flavors possess ample amounts of power and a sleek muscularity before terminating in a driving and explosive finish. This is exceptionally firmly structured and this is one to buy and forget in the cellar. Spectacular. Drink 2030+. Don't miss!
VM 95-98 (1/2012): Good bright red-ruby. Black raspberry, cassis, violet, dark chocolate, licorice and cinnamon on the restrained but very pure nose and palate. The subtly complex palate offers compelling sweetness and early charm, making this wine much easier to taste today than the Cros Parantoux. Wonderfully pliant Richebourg, delivering an exhilarating combination of sweetness and spice. The finish saturates the entire palate, with noble tannins buried under a wave of flavor.
WA 94-97 (2/2012): The 2010 Richebourg shows off considerable vibrancy and sheer tannic heft. A core of dark red fruit drives through the mid-palate as this energetic, vibrant wine opens up in the glass. The wine turns layered and finessed on the finish, with piercing mineral notes that add a crystalline purity that is striking. Patience will be key here. |

| BH 92-94 (4/2012): This is also exceptionally fresh, cool and bright and while the composition of the aromas is not dissimilar to that of the Mitans, here there is a noticeably greater emphasis on the mineral component.

This stunning effort is a classic old school and completely textbook Taillepieds. Drink 2022+. Don't miss! Outstanding! |

VM 92+ (3/2013): Very deep, bright red. Sappy black cherry, raspberry, cola and licorice on the nose, plus a whiff of animal fur. Big, deep and chocolatey, with serious depth of black cherry and dark berry fruit. The big Nuits-Saint-Georges tannins are sexed up by high-toned oak spices on the impressively long finish. Jacques-Frederic Mugnier punches down the cap late in the fermentation, when the juice is almost dry and the skins have softened, an approach that he believes results in a steadier uptake of sugar in his wines. Stephen Tanzer.
BH 91 (6/2013): An all but invisible touch of wood sets off pretty and cool aromas of citrus rind, dried floral nuances and a hint of minerality. There is good richness and plenty of verve to the well-detailed middle weight flavors that possess a sappy mouth feel on the mouth coating and bone dry finish. This is really quite good and while not a wine of particular refinement, there is excellent character and persistence. I like this as it's refreshing, well-balanced and has plenty of depth to it. Worth considering. Drink from 2015+. Outstanding! |

The presently buried tannins are intense and markedly firm though not hard on the explosively long finish that seems to go on and on. This should be something very special if given sufficient time to reach its apogee. Drink 2032+. |

VM 93 (3/2013): (75% new oak): Good dark red. Ripe, vibrant nose offers kirsch, redcurrant, cedar and a whiff of black pepper. At once silky-sweet and tangy, with lovely inner-mouth energy to the fine-grained red and darker fruit flavors. Notes of violet and minerals emerge with air. Finishes broad, lively and long, with harmonious acidity and ripe tannins giving the wine solid structure for aging. More refined than the 2011 version.
BH 92 (1/2013): (from 80+ year old vines.) An attractively layered and enveloping nose of black cherry and black raspberry is set off by subtle earth, spice and wood nuances. There is real verve to the wonderfully fresh and seductively textured flavors that exude a fine minerality on the balanced, delicious, dusty and long finish where a discreet if not invisible touch of wood appears. I like the balance and depth and the wood will probably integrate in time. Drink 2020+. Outstanding! |

This is also exceptionally pretty and not surprisingly more elegant as well as the nose features a slightly more deeply pitched combination of floral notes, red pinot and cassis aromas. There is a lovely mineral component to the satin-textured medium-bodied flavors where the supporting tannins are ultra-refined, all wrapped in a lacy and persistent finish. A classic Chambolle of finesse. Drink 2016+.
WA 88-90 (2/2012): The 2010 Chambolle-Musigny shows terrific energy and class. There is lovely freshness and vibrancy in the aromas and flavors, with an underpinning of minerality that gives the wine its focus and sense of direction. Bright floral notes add lift on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022. |

BH 92 (1/2013): I have never been a huge fan of this wine as I often find it to be somewhat coarse, and while always very good, I am rarely moved by it. However, in 2010, as was the case in 2009, this is much better than it usually is with a relatively perfumed nose that includes notes of earth along with the natural sauvage character of the vineyard. In fact there is even a certain elegance to the attractively layered airy and cool red berry liqueur aromas. There is good richness and fine volume to the moderately robust and muscular flavors that culminate in a balanced and linear finish that evidences mild austerity. I quite like this as the tannins are finer than usual and there is a real sense of harmony and completeness. Drink 2020+. Outstanding!
WS 92 (6/2013): Starts out tight, with currant, kirsch, spice and earth flavors. Rounds out with a few hours of aeration, offering black cherry and tobacco notes. Balanced, displaying a firm finish for now. Best from 2016 through 2028. 170 cases imported.
VM 91+ (4/2013): Good bright, deep red. Briary dark berries, black cherry, menthol and a smoky nuance on the nose. Rich and quite ripe, with deep dark berry and smoke flavors perked up by mint and minerals. At once dense and agreeable for this cuvee.
WA 90-92 (2/2012): The 2010 Morey St. Denis Clos de la Bussiere is an explosive wine. Dark red cherries, freshly cut flowers, graphite and mint all take shape in the glass. The Clos de la Bussiere stands out for its energy, focus and length. Persistent saline notes add freshness. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2035. |

BH 96 (1/2013): (from 3 different parcels that total 2 ha.) A reticent, even shy but highly complex nose features intensely floral aromas of pure wild red berry fruit, wet stone, underbrush and a whiff of the sauvage. This is a big and powerful wine which makes for an interesting contrast with the silky palate impression of the well-muscled and large-scaled flavors that are underpinned by very ripe tannins and that lovely sense of tension on the wonderfully energetic and persistent finish. This should age well for years to come, though once again, note well that this will require ample bottle age before it can deliver all of its full, and considerable, potential. In sum, this is a stunningly good Chambertin. Drink 2027+.
VM 96+ (3/2013): (about 50% vendange entier): Good full, deep red. Profound nose offers red and darker fruits, smoked meat, rose petal, minerals and complex soil tones; shows similarities to the Latricieres but is less expressive today--and a bit wilder. Big, rich and mouthfilling but without any undue impression of weight; sweetness is restrained today. Huge, classically dry wine with a broad, palate-staining finish that throws off notes of licorice, spices and white pepper. Perfectly ripe but not a bit overripe. Trapet told me his grand cru vineyards produced about 25 hectoliters per hectare in 2010. Stephen Tanzer.
WA 95-97 (12/2011): The 2010 Chambertin is arguably the most complete of the Trapet Grand Crus. The Chambertin is distinguished for its seamless, generous fruit and totally inviting personality. Crushed flowers, sweet spices and licorice are some of the many notes that develop in the glass, adding complexity and depth to the expansive, creamy finish. The 2010 Chambertin was stunning a year ago, it is stunning today and my impression is it will always be magnificent, even if it is likely to go through a stubborn period somewhere along the way. Anticipated maturity: 2025-2045. |

| BH 94 (4/2024): A distinctly cool and quite pretty nose freely offers up an array of mostly earthy red berry aromas that are trimmed in soft spice, smoked tea and a whiff of secondary character. There is excellent size, weight and richness to the powerful and impressively concentrated large-scaled flavors exhibit a sleek muscularity on the pure, balanced and gorgeously long finish. Not surprisingly given the 2010 vintage, which is evolving glacially, this beauty of a BM is still on the way up and I would recommend not touching a bottle for another 5 to 10 years. Drink 2030+ |
