2022 vintage. @Somm David T has a most excellent, in-depth and recent review on this vintage and wine dated April 19, 2025 (9.3). Couldn’t agree more with his assessments. He didn’t tackle the nose because of the wine serving temp then. It had a curious 3-5 year old Condrieu super floral, super stone fruit nose. I expected and wanted more acidity; got a veritable spring garden and lighter body/less acidity. Flavors and scents constantly shifting so impossible to pigeonhole. ADD in a wine glass. First time with this producer’s white wines and sincerely wondering if this is an outlier/region specific feature or how the whites generally show. 08.22.25. — 10 months ago

Excellent. This showed really well. Lives up to Burghound’s rating. Harmonious. Rich. Long. — 5 years ago

Pop and pour. Still way too young, but a solid Corton-Charly. On the nose: soft mango, lime, oak toast, struck match, charcoal and black pepper. On the palate: good acidity, slightly thin, but lemon oil, green apple, black pepper. Only complaint is that this is slightly hollow on the mid-palate at this stage. Otherwise, everything is in its place..maybe time will set everything straight. — 5 years ago

Gorgeous. This is chocolate covered cherries with fine grained tannins, beautiful structure and balance. This was a fun wine to drink on my night off. Mama has the kids and I’m halfway through this with nothing but PTI and Sportcenter in front of me. Life is grand!!! @David T thanks for the great review and suggestion! Saving the other bottle for 2029. You’re welcome to join me. Hope you like MN Vikings. — 7 years ago

Grand Cru.
Chateau Lascombes has been producing fine wine on the same location for about 300 years or so. In the 1855 Classification it was ranked as one of the 15 “Second Growths” of Bordeaux, which meant it was one of the 20 best vineyards in France and therefore - at least according to the French - the world. It’s had its ups and downs over the years but has been a top performer in most rankings for the last 30 years or so. At one point in the 1970’s I believe it was owned by one of the worlds best known wine critics, Alexis Lichine (with financial backing from David Rockefeller). I think it was bought from them in the late 1990’s or so.

Known for its smooth flavors and never overly tannic, I would bet it tasted great!
Parker gave this one a “94” when he tasted it and said to drink it between 2014 and 2020. In Honor of Nick! — 8 years ago

@David L going John Wall superstar style with his 4 Mag contribution of this dense, vivid beauty. After we consumed about 2 gallons of wine each we hit up the patio fire pit for some s’mores and he ordered up 2 bottles of ‘10 Realm Bard. He’s a beast. — 9 years ago

Had the 2014 vintage this time. Black cherries, black berries, wood and spices, pepper, white chocolate, tobacco. Full-bodied with an amazingly round warm palate. Never-ending finish. — 6 years ago

Only back home for three days since our grand excursion, oh Burgundy how I miss you and your beautiful landscapes with tiny villages.
(I don't miss how tall my damn grass grew in the lawn during our absence!)

Flinty nose with beautiful white flowers.
Flint, minerals, lime-honey on the palate, acidity is noticable but not distracting. Finish is like forever. We will attempt to restrain ourselves from drinking this whole bottle this evening, as based on recent Saint Aubin tastings, this will continue to evolve with air and patience. I feel this bottle is still young, many years ahead for enjoyment.

Thanks @David T for turning me towards Lamy... I'll be back for more!

24hr Update: So creamy, beautiful Chardonnay fruit, yellow apple, faint flinty notes today, acidy is still noticable, and enjoyable. I'm not sure I like it more or less than the initial approach, it's a different, also great, wine today. — 8 years ago

1961- I mean 1961 - the Somm delivered and @David L and I were blown away - cork was in excellent shape - tannins were strict but silky - - nose on par - pine peach licorice- the color was brand new - crazy - I mean all you ever want in every way - it could go another 20 years - I was taken back - extraordinary- a Bordeaux grand cru that is actually grand — 5 years ago

Micro-bubbles galore, Yum! This might be close second for a Friday evening standard for @David T but tonight it is flowing into glasses on the complete opposite side of the Country. A wonderful Blanc de Blanc Champagne.

Nose has freshly scrubbed lemon, grapefruit peel, sliced Granny Smith apple, wet chalk, cold brioche and Gardenia blossom in a breeze.

Palate is fresh orange peel, grapefruit peel (like really wow), tart green apple, fresh walnut, crunchy brioche with a little hint of sweetened butter and a splash of acidic ocean water.

Finish is intense, yet elegant and lasting for many minutes. We are quite looking forward the the evolution of this bottle across the evening, as it warms from 46°F and gains air time.

Thank you @David T @Sofia Jalilie for allowing us into your week closing tradition. The next bottle should have us closer together. — 7 years ago

Killer Wine Night. Lineup of 17 wines. Tasted blind. Theme was Old World Killer “B” (the letter “B” has to be the first letter in one of the proper nouns in the wine e.g., region, varietal, type, winery name, etc.)

Wine 2. Wow. What an experience. Classic Bordeaux of mushroom, and wet earth, with awesome blackberry fruit. Totally different experience on the retaste where it had been open for about 4 hrs. Courtesy of @David Moffat and Tom Moffat. — 8 years ago
