nice suprise, good drinking now

2016 vintage

did I reread my last note from 9 months ago saying this was better with time open? no: so I opened and started this quickly, which was a mistake. On opening, it's quite weedy not much depth. 6 hours later it's delicious. Didn't get a candied note I had last time, and it really did pull itself together with red fruits and spiciness and length.

2016 vintage

Rich red and black fruit, vanilla, oak spice, lavender, roasted coffee and a slight resinous character. Still quite big and oaky, but the fruit to back it up. Enjoyable now, but could benefit from a few more years in the cellar.

PnP. Extremely young and tight. Very dark and brooding. Screams syrah more than Burg at this point.

Toujours assez fermé, peu d‘espoir

Clarijs Fine Wine Selections Tasting and Lunch (Restaurant De Kas *, Amsterdam, NL) : Trade tasting, brief note. Spicy depth, black fruit, rich and ripe, fresh and minerally, has good weight and a masculine terroir expression. Not marker by the heat. Very fine.

2020 vintage

Very young but gorgeous red and darker fruit on the palate, some extraction but nice balance and freshness still, the fruit is very present and energetic, nice depth and silky and rich texture, but nothing too much. Beau fruit rouge et noir, texture enveloppante avec de l�extraction mais sans exc�s, belle fra�cheur tout de m�me.

2020 vintage

pours a dark crimson, on the nose the oak comes first, toasty, with some cherry. On the palate, the tannins are fine grained and integrated, more secondary savoury flavours, tobacco leaves, fine acidity, balance. Good finish.

2016 vintage

Slightly disjointed on opening, with a prominent candied note. Given time (eventually overnight) it pulled itself together, and while slightly on the sweet side, drank very well on day 2. Definitely open in good time ahead of drinking.

2020 Domaine Denis Mortet, Mes Cinq Terroire: I love this wine. Garnet red color, lots of red fruit on the nose, cherry, violet, lots of red fruit on the palate with a nice spicy note, pink pepper and very finely integrated tannins. Very long finish. (94/100 - 18/20)

2020 vintage

Very impressive wine. Took quite a while to open up. Open 2 plus hours before drinking

2016 vintage

Third time with this wine, I like it less each time I taste it, nose is odd more vegetal than cherry, thin in the mouth, dies mid palate, not much finish, sadly have 3 bottles left

2016 vintage

A cornucopia of black and red currants, juniper, pine resin, wet earth and a hint of animalistic notes. Ripe, yet pure and fresh, very true to its roots. Slightly short on the finish but very promising.

2016 vintage

Garnet color - delicate but intense nose of crushed fruit, perfumed - with a hint of spice. On taste - young fresh fruit expands delicately on your palate, fine tannins with a spice finish on the back end. Long finish. The body is light and expansive - not your typical Burgundy. Very elegant and alluring. As you taste over time you appreciate the delicate fruit underlying the wine. Very nice. At this point it is very primary and fruit driven.

2020 vintage

PnP Highly aromatic; bright red nose, floral tones, spice and a dollop of wood. Rich body with some effervescence and an evolving structure that carries punch. Long finish; quite good. Really like the style

2020 vintage

Initial coravin pour was thin, bitter, and medicinal. Two months later with a short decant -- Cherry and fall spice on the nose, with medium-light body, medium acid, light tannins, and a lovely juicy palate featuring sappy red cherries.

2016 vintage

Beautiful nose but needed a little time before finally opening on the palate. Good concentration and dark berries. Clearly stems used. Very good and punches above its village designation

2020 vintage

See my note on the 2019. 2020 more fruit-concentrated, and slightly more tannic.

2020 vintage

brambly rustic dark cherry, spice, oaky notes, not very exciting

2016 vintage

A lovely wine. Opened 2 hours before drinking. Big nose and long finish. Improved after another 2-3 hours. Best to keep another couple of years before drinking

2016 vintage

Brisk red and black fruit, nice woody-briary stemmy notes, some reduction/gunflint. Med acid, med. tannin. 13% Alc.

2020 vintage

甜美讨喜的风味，黑樱桃、黑莓等黑果，带着阿尔卑斯黑莓糖和奶昔的风味，一点紫罗兰，香草和奶油之类的桶味，整体浓郁，比较细致，有绵滑感。入口单宁中，较为细致，光滑中有些细粉分布。果味浓郁甜美，有集中度，也有细致度，黑果和黑果奶油糖，带着香草奶昔，现在喝起来就颇为享乐，不会腻。91-92/100

2020 vintage

Good floral aromatics draw you in on pouring. Clean display of red berries with spices and oak integration on the palate with a silky finish. There's enough tertiary characters hidden throughout to keep things interesting. This would've been a fantastic house red in a previous era. Easy to drink, yet still has enough to keep subsequent glasses fun.

2016 vintage

Oops! Wrong decision perhaps, to open this. Dark purplish, this nosed of wood, wood & more wood, plus wood-spice. No resemblance of a Burg on the palate; I’d have guessed a GSM (w/o the tannins) or something, if blinded... Decided to save 3/4 of the btl for the 2nd-day, hoping it will come together. Nope, this was just as closed & impenetrable as the day before. Hrmm, maybe another 5-yrs???

Ce gevrey-chambertin offre un nez aux arômes intenses de sous-bois, de fruits noirs bien mûrs et de boisé discret. La bouche est suave et veloutée, portée par des arômes de cerise noire et d'épices douces, preuves de son élevage sous-bois.

2016 vintage

Ouch! Oak, oak and then some chocolate. I usually love the older wines of Denis Motet but boy, this reminds me of a Carmenere from Chile or a Malbec from Mendoza. Will it ever become balanced Burgundy? Write me a note should it happen... 84-?

2016 vintage

Very juicy right now and very enjoyable!

Annual Roi Chambertin tasting: 2016 Gevreys from village to grand cru (Espace Chambertin, Bourgogne) : Sweet entry, and even just somewhat drying on the finish. But far better than the Thierry Mortets and the mid palate sap appeals. Let's just see how it integrates with time in bottle.
