The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Village shows a mixture of blueberry and strawberry fruit on the nose, pure and nicely defined, though just missing a bit of terroir expression. The palate was just a bit gassy during my visit, but there are pretty, simple cassis and strawberry fruits in situ. It's just a bit abrupt on the finish. Drink 2024-2030.

Once again, the expressive nose is exceptionally pretty with its array of rose petal, exotic spice and layered crushed red berry nuances. I very much like the mid-palate texture of the barely middleweight flavors that contrasts somewhat with a lingering finish where a touch of asperity slowly emerges. Drink 2027+

A pretty fresh purple, charming if on the light side. Then builds attractively on the palate in this light red fruit style, with charm and Chambolle grace, though not especially deep of course. Slightly acidulated red berries. Drink from 2025-2028.

The vineyards of Mazis Chambertin sit between Clos de Bèze Grand Cru and the village of Gevrey Chambertin and are respected for making deep and powerful wines. This wine from Chantal Tortochot is a real highlight of the vintage. Its attack is immediate. With hedgerow fruits, mocha and spice, it is full, rich and layered, totally coating the palate. The wonderful flamboyance is balanced by a fine linear tannic core. The fresh finish sits perfectly with the sweetness of fruit and is the lasting sensation in this high-class wine.

The 2000 was the finest Lascombes produced in over three decades, and the 2001 continues the great success this estate is enjoying under the guidance of Yves Vatelot (of Chateau Reignac) and Dr. Alain Raynaud (Chateau Quinault l'Enclos). A blend of 55% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5%Petit Verdot, it spent 18 months in cask (4 on its lees), and was bottled unfiltered. A dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by ripe aromas of spring flowers, blueberries, blackberries, and cassis. Medium-bodied, stylish, and elegant, with sweet tannin, impressive concentration, tremendous persistence as well as flavor intensity, and a 40+ second finish, this noble claret should be at its finest between 2005-2016.

Always one of the easiest Grands Crus to taste, this just jumps out of the glass. A wonderfully generous style. This has delicious summer pudding flavours, with hints of treacle toffee. It is broad with rounded ripe tannins and a good drive of acidity at the end. Very good indeed.

The 2014 Corton Bressandes Grand Cru has another detailed, precise and quite mineral-driven bouquet that opens nicely in the glass. The palate is poised on the entry, linear and taut with tart red cherry fruit mixed with strawberry and a touch of oyster shell coming through on the finish. Very fine, even if the Corton Marechaudes may have the upper hand with bottle age. We will see! Drink 2018-2032

Sarah Marsh, December 2015, Score: 19
An aromatic nose, with hints of pink rose petal. This is silky and sophisticated. It is large in the middle, quite a lot of volume, but much airier than the Marechaudes, an elegant curvaceous body, the tannins are fine and lightly grained…the finsh is cool, straight and mineral..white chalky minerality and very long. Francois says “a little earthy - you see it from a far…something in the soil and then this develops as the wine ages.”

The wood influence is a bit more pronounced though not so much as to intrude on the spicy and cool nose of plum, violet, dark cherry and Asian-style tea scents. There is excellent punch and delineation to the larger-scaled flavors that possess good richness and a caressing mouthfeel, all wrapped in a sappy and long finish where the oak telegraphed by the nose resurfaces. This is on the oakier side at present but appears to have the underlying material to eventually absorb it and my projected range implicitly assumes that it will.

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru comes from vines that lie within the Sérafin maison. Their holdings has expanded as they bought some land within the Premier Cru that they have now planted with vine, though at the moment it is blended into the Gevrey Vieilles Vignes. It has a pleasant floral bouquet that feels quite pure and intense, hints of oyster shells suffusing the black and blue fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, good grip with quite a tannic, slightly austere note that should flesh out with age. 2024 - 2036

This is slightly riper as the nose reflects notes of cassis, dark currant, earth, the sauvage and discreet though again not invisible wood. There is even better richness and much more minerality to the broad-shouldered and robust flavors that terminate in a rustic, muscular and youthfully austere finish. Like the old vines Gevrey, this is decidedly old school in style and not surprisingly, is going to need plenty of cellar time. Drink 2032+

Here too there is ample wood influence (though no menthol) to the black cherry, plum, pungent earth and forest floor scents. Oddly given the usual differences in size and weight, the medium-bodied flavors are not as rich though they are just as mineral-inflected on the austere and extremely rustic finish that is borderline tough and quite grippy. Millandes isn't always the most accessible terroir young but this is foursquare to the point of being raspy. This may age out but my sense is that it would be better to drink this on the younger side with good as I suspect that it will dry out with extended keeping.

The 2015 L'If is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc this year and it was matured in around 50% new oak. It has a very ravishing and opulent bouquet with macerated small red cherries, blueberry and a hint of powdered chocolate, probably from the new oak, and that seems to quickly dissipate. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, a pinch of white pepper, nicely structured and showing great style on the finish. "That's bloody good," commented Fiona Morrison behind me, and I would not disagree. In fact, over five to ten minutes, this Saint Emilion gained precision and harmony.

This is sooty, skin-influenced, slate-soaked wine with a deep purple Moreton Fig glossiness that gives it a character like no other wine I have tasted!

The jewel in the Ox Hardy crown, this remarkable Shiraz comes from a tiny 1.4 hectare low yielding vineyard planted in 1891 by Thomas Hardy. 2013 is a classic McLaren Vale vintage which has quintessential Shiraz. The 2013, intense and complex, offers incredible firmness and precision. Seemingly endless layers of flavour, and the fruit still so fresh and pure, there is so much going on here. Earthy, spiced, mineral and simply impossible to spit, the tannins are melting, and finely detailed dark black and blue fruits are tinged with wild lavender, thyme, and dried flowers. Drink 2023-2043

Wine Advocate, Janaury 2023, Score: 96
This 2013 Upper Tintara Vineyard 1891 Ancestor Vines Shiraz is now (in 2022) nine years old and decries that in its color and aroma. The wine presents far younger. Aromatically, it is spicy and resinous, with charred star anise, raspberry, salted licorice, tobacco leaf, graphite, peppercorns and more. In the mouth, the wine continues as if there was never a break and flows across the palate. The tannins are incredibly silky—silken, in fact—and shape the wine through the finish. This has it all. If Benjamin Button drank wine, this would be a good match. There's still 20 years left in this with ease. Super impressive. Drink 2022-2042.

2013 Ancestor Vines Shiraz McLaren Vale (14.5%), again, shows an absurdly beautiful nose, and this perfume links its DNA to the family of ‘Ancestor Vines’ wines. At nine years old, it has settled into its character with a posh but not formal attitude. The perfume is a result of an early pick, and the depth is a result of the post-maceration, so this is a wine with non-stop action from the tip of its nose to the ends of its toes. This is sensational, intuitive winemaking carried out by touch and feel, years of experience, and unrivalled taste buds. The potential here is absurd because even at nine years of age, this is a youthful, firm wine.

Burghound, January 2017, Score: 91-94
A slightly more elegant if still deeply pitched nose features aromas of red and dark raspberry, earth, floral nuances and an interesting hint of smoked meat. Consistent with the elegance of the nose the medium-bodied flavors are a bit finer as well though they certainly don't lack for power, punch and concentration, indeed this is even more firstly structured and the tannic spine makes it indisputably clear that this is going to be a long-distance runner.
