| "..fully mature. Soft, fragrant nose..There is clzss here, but not enough grip and vigour. Very good plus at best." | |||||
1980 Pousse d'Or (750ml) |
$275.00
|
||||
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 89 | |||||
| Even from magnum, the nose is displaying a good deal of sous bois and very ripe secondary fruit aromas coupled with a distinct earth and mushroom component. The rich, full, delicious and highly complex flavors are very Volnay in character with elegance, precision and a lovely touch of minerality that complements nicely the velvet on the backend. This is a very pretty wine, especially texturally but one that should be consumed relatively soon. | |||||
1985 DRC La Tache (750ml) |
$5,150.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 90 | |||||
| "A brilliant wine from cask, the 1985 La Tache remains expansive and fragrant, but bottle age appears to have given the wine more delicacy and lightness. The color is an extremely light ruby, with no signs of age. The nose offers up gobs of sweet, overripe red and black fruits intertwined with smoky, toasty new oak. On the palate, there is sweet, jammy fruit, full body, a harmonious interaction of tannin, acidity, and fruit, and a luscious, silky-textured finish." | |||||
| Wine Spectator 93 | |||||
| "Red brown center, orange edge. Seductive fruit and spice bouquet, with fleeting notes of cherry, kirsch and rose. Warm and spicy on the palate, elegant yet sumptuous, showing fine length and harmony. After about an hour in the glass, it turned more acidic and fragile." | |||||
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 90 | |||||
| "As I noted above in my comments, the '85 is a fine La Tāche but well short of profound with lovely spice but completely mature aromas and nicely complex, fully resolved flavors and a long, fine and pure finish. There is no benefit to holding the '85 further and even from magnum format, I would be inclined to begin looking for occasions to enjoy it; to be clear, it's not in decline but it is as good as it's ever going to be. Consistent notes as this is a wine that I have tasted more than 25 times." | |||||
1986 DRC Richebourg (750ml) |
$1,540.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 94 | |||||
| The spectacular Richebourg has a stunning nose, is more full bodied and powerful than usual, very long, but also quite tannic. I tasted it twice and my estimate on peak drinkability was between 1996 and 2012. It should be a real ager. This is among the few superstars of this vintage, but the 1986 is not for drinking soon-patience is most definitely required. | |||||
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 87 | |||||
| A fully mature nose that is displaying notes of sous bois, spice, underbrush, smoke and lovely overall complexity leads to delicious and complex flavors that are easy to like though the finish comes up a bit short and dry. To be sure, with food this is more interesting as it rounds off the finish but there is no reason not to drink up as this will only further dry out with time in bottle. | |||||
1986 DRC Romanee-Conti (750ml) |
$10,810.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 94 | |||||
| The Romanee-Conti is very backward in 1986. The fabulous nose of oriental spices, new oak, and ripe fruit is amply displayed, but on the palate the wine is tight, hard, and very rich but still mostly inaccessible. It has a smashingly long finish and should be drinkable between 1993 and 2010. This is among the few superstars of this vintage, but the 1986 is not for drinking soon-patience is most definitely required. | |||||
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 88 | |||||
| Definite bricking but with a still ruby core. An expressive nose that is fully secondary but not tertiary runs to a spicy sauvage character with dried rose petal, roasted herbs and hints of smoke and soy that merge into middle weight flavors that are finer but less powerful than those of the '87 with a finish that is beginning to exhibit signs of impending dryness and as such, it's time to begin drinking the '86 in earnest. To be sure, this will continue to hold up without difficulty but it won't necessarily be to the good as the present mild astringency will only increase with time. Despite this nit, the '86 manages to remain stylish and sophisticated. | |||||
1987 DRC Richebourg (750ml) |
$1,540.00
|
||||
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 88 | |||||
| "he '87 Richebourg is a surprisingly good wine for the vintage with absolutely gorgeous fruit that retains at least some of it primary vibrancy though much of the nose has now gone to secondary nuances if not out and out sous bois. The flavors are quite bit and still solidly structured with wonderful complexity and the only thing it lacks to really be a smashing success is real harmony and balance as the structure is frankly more than the mid-palate can handle. While there is no rush, I would be drinking up over the next decade as the finish will begin to dry out." | |||||
| Robert Parker 93 | |||||
| "The Richebourg has large quantities of tannin, but it has the stuffing and huge concentration of fruit and ripeness to match. It is a very full-bodied, rich, super-concentrated wine that should last for several decades. I would not dare open a bottle until 1994-1995. It will be interesting to see how it evolves when compared with the superb 1986 they produced." | |||||
| Wine Spectator 93 | |||||
| "A firm, rich and tannic style, with very complex and enticing flavors of smoked bacon, cherry, spice and earth that are tightly concentrated and in need of another five to seven years' cellaring. The tannins on the finish are very firm but not biting." | |||||
1988 DRC Richebourg (750ml) |
$1,540.00
|
||||
| Wine Spectator 94 | |||||
| "Tight and beautifully focused, with a laser beam of plum, raspberry and tart cherry flavor, hinting at cola and spice around the edges, nailed in place by lavish tannins and sharp acidity." | |||||
| Clive Coates 19.5 | |||||
| "Medium-full colour. A bigger, rawer, more backward wine than the Romanee-Saint-Vivant. More muscular but less classy?.The finish is the best bit. It will be a fatter more aromatic wine." | |||||
1988 DRC Romanee St Vivant (750ml) |
$970.00
|
||||
| Clive Coates 18 | |||||
| "Medium-full colour. Soft, oaky nose, plump and accessible. Lovely complex, fragrant fruit here if not a great deal of power. Plenty of class and intensity though." | |||||
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 92 | |||||
| Rich, elegant and powerful fruit that displays the classic spice box character of a fine RSV. I particularly like the purity of expression (yet no lack of power) which combined with the outstanding length make this a terrific effort that should continue to improve and then hold at this level for a number of years. Consistent notes. | |||||
1989 DRC Echezeaux (750ml) |
$970.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 90 | |||||
| Wine Spectator 90 | |||||
| "Firm, tight and intense, with rich, sharply focused flavors that are smooth and lively. A tasty core of black cherry, plum and currant notes is shaded by smoky, cedary oak nuances." | |||||
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 88 | |||||
| Discreet, reserved and subtle Vosne spice aromas lead to closed, slightly tough and still quite structured, indeed almost hard flavors that offer good depth and the balance is suspect at this point. Still, there is enough mid-palate density to suggest that this may very well have the stuffing to mature into something very interesting even though it appears to be in a time warp at the moment as it has seemingly not evolved at all in more than 5 years. For the patient AND optimistic. Another recent bottle was very odd as the nose was rather funky with a distinct note of acetone that dissipated with air but never completely disappeared with much more moderate structure than the bottle reviewed above displayed. However, the overall quality was the same as this is a perfectly good effort but certainly not a distinguished one. | |||||
1989 Leflaive Batard Montachet (750ml) |
$775.00
|
||||
| Wine Spectator 93 | |||||
| A wild wine, with full-throttle, ripe flavors. Very exotic, with perfumed crushed grape, toast and honey aromas. Full-bodied, with lots of fruit and a hint of orange peel on the finish. | |||||
| Robert Parker 93 | |||||
| The Batard possesses a gorgeous aroma of oranges, flowers, butter, and minerals. In the mouth, it is pure buttery fruit supported admirably by crisp acidity and a deft touch of toasty new oak. A big wine by the Leflaive's standards, it should drink magnificently for at least 10-12 years. | |||||
1989 Louis Latour Batard Montachet (750ml) |
$260.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 96 | |||||
| Among Louis Latour's grands crus, the 1989 Batard-Montrachet is absolutely spectacular, a near perfect example of just how riveting Batard-Montrachet can be. Even though it is much more developed than the 1989 Corton-Charlemagne or 1989 Montrachet, it should last as long as either of them. The bouquet is bursting with flavors of oranges, smoky oak, toast, and butterscotch. In the mouth there is enormous richness, gobs of glycerin and extraction of flavor, and surprisingly high acidity in view of the wine's massiveness and extract levels. Drink this spectacular Batard-Montrachet over the next 10-15 years. This is an outstanding white burgundy by any standard of measurement. Don't miss it! | |||||
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 92 | |||||
| A huge and enveloping nose of ripe orchard fruit and white flower aromas that are still largely primary in character leads to classic Bātard-like flavors as they're exceptionally powerful and extremely rich and long. This is impressive juice and while not the most elegant '89, this is really quite stylish and still on the way up. | |||||

|
||||
| FineWine International | |||||
| The grapes for Chateau de Meursault,Clos des Epenots come from a 3 hectaire vineyard with some of the vines ranging in age from 32-62 years of age. This is a deepbly concentrated, structured Pommard now at full maturity from a splendid long-lived vintage. | |||||

1990 DRC Richebourg (750ml) |
$3,460.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 96 | |||||
| "The DRC produced splendid wines in 1990, and the Richebourg is close to reaching its plateau of maturity. A dark ruby color reveals lightening at the edge. The stunning aromatics offer intense aromas of spring flowers, black fruits, licorice, and toasty new oak. Fleshy and medium to full-bodied, with a velvety-textured palate, and sweet fruit, this smoky, rich, complex red Burgundy can be drunk now and over the next decade." | |||||
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 93 | |||||
| High-toned fruit with fresh, bright blackberry fruit aromas and the barest trace of secondary character to the tight, very ripe, beautifully complex flavors. There is still quite a bit of tannin still to resolve though this has excellent density of extract and solid balance. Rich, long and impressive if not especially detailed. Another recent bottle tasted in Burgundy was fresher than the one at the big Richebourg retrospective held in '01. A very impressive effort that will live for decades. Consistent notes. | |||||
1990 DRC Romanee-Conti (750ml) |
$23,790.00
|
||||
| Wine Spectator 98 | |||||
| The 1990 Romanee-Conti should ultimately be the most compelling and complex of the DRC wines. Normally it possesses a lighter color than either La Tache or Richebourg, but in 1990 it boasts a surprisingly saturated color that is the equal of La Tache and Richebourg. The nose offers up sweet, clove, cinnamon, and blackberry aromas intermingled with toasty, smoky new oak. Lavishly rich and full-bodied, with abundant tannins, this profound, surprisingly large-scaled, tannic wine boasts more muscle than usual. Let's hope that the billionaires that buy it have as much taste as money. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2025 . | |||||

1990 DRC Romanee-St.Vivant (750ml) |
$2,160.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 92 | |||||
| "I found the 1990 to have a pervasive earthy, cinnamon, clove, sweet fruit-scented nose intermingled with scents of spicy new oak. Although closed, the wine exhibits great depth, medium to full body." | |||||
| Wine Spectator 90 | |||||
| "Firm and flavorful, with a strong toasty-smoky edge to the earthy currant and plum aromas and flavors, finishing with a polished core of flavor poking through the veil of chewy tannins." | |||||
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 92 | |||||
| Extremely rich and ripe with explosive aromas of Vosne spice, earth and only a touch of secondary nuance followed by big, indeed even robust flavors that show good muscle but no rusticity and while this displays only a bit of the classic RSV velvet, this character will undoubtedly become more pronounced with age as there is plenty of mid-palate density. Quite long and still very much of a baby, the '90 RSV is most promising. I would try again in 2010 but this will live for 30 years, perhaps longer. Multiple and consistent notes.| | |||||

1990 Leroy Corton Charlemagne (750ml) |
$795.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 91 | |||||
| Leroy's 1990 Corton-Charlemagne, is an oaky, bold, dramatic wine, with huge quantities of fruit, glycerin, and what appears to be tannin. Long, dense, and ripe, this wine needs at least 10 years of cellaring; it should keep for 25 years. | |||||
1990 Louis Latour Batard Montachet (750ml) |

1990 Meo Camuzet Clos Vougeot VV (750ml) |
$540.00
|
||||
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 90 | |||||
| Pretty pinot fruit mixes with mature, sweet burg aromas, followed by rich, round, solid flavors that offer good if not exceptional complexity though there is very fine length here. This is approaching peak drinkability though it could still use another 2 to perhaps 4 years to be at its best. A very good if not exceptional effort for the vintage. | |||||

1991 DRC La Tache (750ml) |
$4,120.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 93 | |||||
| "The 1991 La Tache is a compelling wine. It possesses a deep color, as well as a tell-tale, decadent bouquet of smoked meats, jammy black fruits, and Asian spices. Expansive, full-bodied, and oozing with rich, sweet fruit, this example of La Tache, despite its flamboyance, is structured, tannic, and in need of at least 3-4 more years of cellaring. It should last for 20 years." | |||||
| Wine Spectator 95 | |||||
| "A gentle wine with seductive violet-scented curranr, blackberry and spice flavors that swirl across the palate in profusion.echoing chocolate on the finish." | |||||
| Clive Coates 20 | |||||
| "Fine colour but just a little less than Romanee-Conti. Marvellous intensity. Very very lovely fruit. This is absolutely lovely. Very very special on the finish." | |||||
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 96 | |||||
| I have long been an admirer of this wine as it is dazzlingly elegant and very densely fruited with knock out aromas of spice, dried rose petals, clove, anise and black pepper that are followed by somewhat austere, rich, concentrated and gorgeously persistent flavors that exude a fine minerality on the gorgeously long finish. The intensity here is really something to see and it just oozes class and refinement. It's worth pointing out that this is sufficiently close to its peak that it could be approached now with an hour's worth of air. Multiple examples and very consistent notes, in fact I've never had a substandard bottle. 96/2016+ | |||||
1991 DRC Romanee-Conti (750ml) |
$12,975.00
|
||||
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 97 | |||||
| I have always loved the '91 vintage in the Cōte de Nuits and the DRC '91s are nothing short of brilliant, indeed they are fully competitive with the Domaine's '90s, a high compliment no matter how you slice it. An extremely pure and intensely floral nose that is just now beginning to offer up subtle notes of dried rose petal that occurs in RC at 10 to 15 years of age. The overall demeanor is decidedly understated at this point, indeed the impression is one of extreme youthfulness as the big if not robust flavors remain intense, powerful and mouth coating with an underlying vibrancy and transparency that is wonderful to behold. It's almost hard to believe that at 16 years of age the '91 has barely even budged and the finish remains linear, cool and refined. A superbly classy rendition and a wine of breathtaking beauty as well as one that will easily see its 50th birthday and personally, I wouldn't touch a bottle for another 10 years. Brilliant. | |||||

1993 DRC La Tache (750ml) |
$2,525.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 90 | |||||
| "As usual, La Tache reveals the most saturated deep ruby color of the DRC's, a tight but promising nose of smoky, game-like aromas intertwined with red and black fruits, minerals, and vanillin from new oak. Medium to full-bodied, with sweet, concentrated, berry fruit, this tannic, spicy, backward wine appears to possess the requisite extraction to ensure a long, positive evolution. Give it 7-10 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 12-15 years." | |||||
| Wine Spectator 93 | |||||
| "A superb tasting experience: this really builds on the palate. Elegant yet showing some richness, full of lovely plum, berry and vanilla notes. The tannins are refined in this medium- to full-bodied La Tache" | |||||
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 95 | |||||
| (As noted in Issue 4, I have experienced a fair amount of bottle variation with the '93 but both this bottle and a second bottle that I had in early May were outstanding). ("severe, closed and understated but I am convinced it will be a great La Tāche" - AdV). This too evidences a slight floral quality, and a fascinating mix of earth, leather, tea and spice notes plus an interesting green bark component. The slightly austere, tannic, wonderfully rich flavors are dense, in fact extremely dense with excellent depth and terrific complexity and a finish that seems to go on forever. Though there are now hints of secondary aromas, this remains very young, structured and remarkably intense. When you get the right bottle, the '93 can be a real stunner. Note: the inconsistency of this wine continues unabated as a bottle opened at the Domaine recently was almost aggressively vegetal and awkward. In short, when it's good it's very good but I've now had too many disappointing bottles not to be wary. | |||||

1994 Boillot, Jean Marc Puligny Montrachet Les Combottes (750ml) |
$124.00
|
||||
| Wine Spectator 93 | |||||
| Amazing balance and concentration for a '94, showing both finesse and power, beckoning you back for another sip. Ripe-tasting, honey- and mineral-scented, lemon-spiked nectar. Shows a deft hand at keeping things on track from start to finish. | |||||
| Robert Parker 93 | |||||
| A tasty example of white Burgundy, the 1994 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes reveals the succulent fatness and explosive buttery, honeyed, nutty character of a top-notch Meursault. The wine is full-bodied, powerful, flamboyant, and showy. It is a decadent white Burgundy to drink over the next 5 years. The Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot in Pommard has emerged over the last few years as one of the up and coming stars, especially for white Burgundy. The 25 acres of vineyards are evenly split between Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, but Boillot has superb parcels in many of the top Puligny-Montrachet vineyards. The wines represent classic examples of white Burgundy, with good acid levels and terrific delineation and purity. I thought the 1994s to be the finest wines I have yet tasted from Boillot. | |||||
1995 DRC La Tache (750ml-12pk OWC) |
$32,955.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 95 | |||||
| "It is intensely profound, and super-ripe yet harmonious. Its extraordinarily long finish (it tails off with a sweet kirsch kiss) flabbergasted me. I could not help but think of the finishes of two wines I love - Chateau Rayas and Chateau Lafleur." | |||||
| Wine Spectator 95 | |||||
| "A sensational La Tache. Balanced with lots of beautiful fruit, but above all it has harmony etched all over it." | |||||
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 94 | |||||
| Stylistically, this borrows elements from both the '97 and the '96 as it combines moderate floral notes with most of the spice, soy and hoisin of the '96 plus the densest flavors of any vintage to this point. The mid-palate doesn't have quite the same sap of the '96 and the long, dusty finish offers a hint of chocolate. This too has the potential to be very long lived. Multiple notes with consistent results; in fact, a recent bottle tasted in Burgundy was even better than the bottle in the big La Tāche tasting held in early '03. | |||||

| Robert Parker 90 | |||||
| The Chassagne Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche is produced from the 1er Cru Morgeot vineyard, yet is not permitted to carry a 1er Cru designation because the Drouhins want it to bear the Laguiche name. The 1995 exhibits an unyielding but fresh and austere nose as well as deep minerally flavors complemented by anise and other spices, an oily texture, and a substantial finish. | |||||

| I was impressed with Robert Groffier's 1995s. They displayed good ripeness, concentration and structure. It is the first vintage where his wines will not be subjected to either a fining or filtration. I have purchased, drunk and cellared some of his previous vintages (and sold them when I worked in retail) and have seen the heights this domaine is capable of achieving. - Pierre Rovani | |||||

$2,700.00

| Robert Parker 97 | |||||
| Exhibiting a black color and deep, powerful cassis and mineral aromas, the other-worldly Richebourg (100 cases) is a rugged, mammoth wine. Broad-shouldered, thick-textured, full-bodied and intensely lively, it is packed with sweet toasty red and black currants. Long and stunningly structured, this refined and highly extracted mind-boggling wine needs 10 years of cellaring, it will last for 15+ years. | |||||

| Shows great class. A superconcentrated wine, subtle and racy, its loads of mineral, wet stone, and vanilla-cream flavors both powerful and subtle. Remarkable harmony. Full-bodied and a pleasure to taste now, but clearly better after 2005 | |||||
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 95 | |||||
| A definite candidate for wine of the vintage with its superb fruit offering powerful mineral, limestone and intensely detailed citrus aromas followed by muscular, dense and incredibly long flavors of remarkable complexity. The purity this displays rivals that of the spectacular 96 though the tactile impression is quite different between the two wines. More than a few Burgundy lovers believe that the Bātard is Niellon's best wine but for my money and taste preferences, the Chevalier is the clear class of this cellar. | |||||
