Fascinating aromas of blackberries, volcanic ash and some stone follow through to a medium-bodied palate with medium, round tannins and a juicy finish. Fine tannins. Drink or hold.

The inklings of the opulence of a fine Volnay are just beginning to show in this perfumed wine. Richness and spice add to the black fruits and youthful acidity in a complex wine that promises plenty of aging. Drink from...

The 2019 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills is an attractive, ethereal wine. Sweet dried cherry, mint, tobacco and sage are some of the aromas and flavors that open in the glass. I would give this a few years in bottle to soften...

(90-92 points) The 2019 Vosne-Romanee Les Suchots ler Cru has a gorgeous bouquet with perfumed black cherry and blueberry fruit, wilted iris petals and just a faint of lavender scent. The palate is rounded on the entry...

The 2019 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru has a composed bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit, tobacco, forest floor, a touch of wild mint and much more clarity than its peers. Fleshy, ripe and beautifully balanced, the...

(91-93 points) This too is sufficiently reduced to mask the underlying fruit, but it seems clear that it is ripe. More interesting are the finer and less powerful though no less concentrated medium weight flavors that...

This is sufficiently reduced that I would strongly advise giving it a thorough aeration if you're tempted to try a bottle young. The sleek, intense and delicious bigger-bodied flavors possess excellent verve while...

Offering up notes of red berries, licorice and sweet soil tones, the 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Pitures is medium to full-bodied, firm and chalky, with tangy acids and a saline finish. It, too, will merit a bit of patience. - WK

A meaty, dense red, featuring black cherry, plum, earth, tobacco and a strong mineral component. Builds on the midpalate, with loam, smoke and enticing freshness on the long aftertaste. Best from 2025 through 2045. 4...

The 2019 Pommard Les Rugiens 1er Cru has a much fresher bouquet than Olivier Leflaive's Epenots (tasted alongside), with a finely-delineated mixture of red and black fruit, undergrowth and light smoky scents. The palate...

Whiffs of nutmeg and musk lend savory nuances to fleshy black-plum and roasted-cherry flavors in this wine. Ripe and supple with soft, yielding tannins, the palate is muted by layers of earth and smoke. Approachable...

(94+ points) The 2019 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has a little more concentration and what seems like more extraction on the nose than Faiveley's. Dark berry fruit, incense and veins of blue fruit emerge, perhaps...
