WOTN was without question – D’Auvenay Auxey Duresses La Macabre 2018 – intoxicating nose – concentrated palate yet lifted. Served after Coche Dury Les Perrieres 2009, which was great but the D’auvenay is the cynosure.
Interesting Clos de la Roche comparison between Domaine Leroy 1992 and Jacky Truchot 2004. The Leroy carried a rustic edge — earthy, forest and spice. The Truchot, in contrast, is a little more generous and lifted.
Mini vertical of DRC RSV— 2003, 2011, and 2021. Each showed its character: the 2003 marked by ripeness and density, the 2021 showed youthful energy and ample acidity, the 2011 is probably the most classic of the 3 with good balance, and imo the most expressive of the 3.
All the DRC Rouges were great but the La Tache 2010 stood out. Seamless power with grace. Stemmy rose petal, tea, red and black fruits, sweet spices. Concentrated with long finish.

Was scrolling…scrolling….scrolling….saw DRC et al and rolled my eyes thinking it’s just going to be bottle porn without any tasting notes or real substance to the post…open the post…realize I’m wrong and probably a jerk…
Damn, great sounding evening you had. When you have this much burgundy to choose from, do you ever just want a Malbec or something?
Smh
jesus
Just casually dropping a pic of a hew hundred thousand dollars worth of wine on a table on a random Thursday…
Imagine my surprise when this wasn’t Mchang
After you’ve had DRC you realize it’s very good wine; but at the end of the day, you also realize it’s nothing but a status symbol at this point and there are equally good wines out there at far more affordable price points. Tasting notes on this stuff is cool but it’d rather discover something just as good for 1/100th the price.
I would give my left nut to drink what was left in that spitoon
Can we be friends?
I still don’t get how madame manages to get Auxey duresse to overpower a coche
Wait wait wait. This is important. How was the Joly?? How did it hold up against all those burg 🦄s?
