Jean-Jacques Confuron Romanée St. Vivant

(SYP) Small glass. Notes of dark berry, spice and ocean air. Cool and slightly dark on the palate with particularly good concentration and a chewy finish. 92+

Drinking great and none of the typical '11 greenness.

very good, and fully robust (felt more like a '15 than an '11)... with plenty of dark red fruit and tons of spice / umami / mouthfeel etc... WOW this packed a punch but wasn't heavy at all... felt like it would benefit from at least ten more years (unlike most '11's in my view - not a long lived vintage)

Selosse Substance (disgorgement years 2008, 2014, 2016) and JJ Confuron RSV (2000, 2001, 2011 vintages) dinner with BurgNick and The Littlehorse. All 6 wines tonight were beautiful. Agree with the comments below, this was certainly one of my favourite 2011 burg reds. There was no greenness at all considering the vintage, and oak was well integrated. The fruits were darker vs 2000. On the nose, floral, dried roses, black plums, dark currants, tar, hint of spices and chalkiness, on the …

Consistent with previous note. The best 11 red I have had. The bottle should have given more time to air. The sweetness was not as expressive tonight probably because of that. Certainly has upside from here as the oak needs time to integrate. 92-93

Could really be the best 11 red I had. So perfumed with sweet red currant, vr spice and flower. Palate opened up beautifully with beautiful and expressive red fruit and good acidity. So elegant. No greenness on the nose and palate. Not a blockbuster grand cru rsv, but certainly a very good classic rsv that is drinking well with a few hours of aeration. It will also age gracefully.

Oak, smoke, red berries, eucalyptus. Very well balanced, solid concentration and long finish. Oustanding quality, 94p

Same as the last bottle.

High toned and perfumed nose of roses, white flowers, red fruit and smoke. Some meaty notes on the palate along with very very subtle spice. This is delicious and reserved now but not enough depth to make you expect serious long term development.

Very primary as expected. Spice, minerals, dark fruits. Moderate tannins. .. Nice depth. 93
