2009 Domaine des Lambrays Clos de Lambrays
OCT 12 Bright ruby. Spicy and almost exotic Pinot nose, and it actually gives me a flashback to the 1945 vintage right away with its slightly rich and opulent style. Pure and did not need too long to show. Almost peppery, some plums and almost thick of strawberries. Rich yes, but never cooked or warm feel. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, fruit driven, quite lively and intense. Not as long or refined as some, at least not at this stage, but might be something awesome for the cellar. 93

2001 Domaine de Lambrays  Clos de Lambrays Grand Cru
DEC 09 Bright garnet, strawberries, jam, some wet earth notes, leaves, prunes and anise. Good acidity, ripe tannins, would have liked it a bit fresher on the fruit, but very good still. Long finish. 88

1999 Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays
MAR 14 (Magnum) Bright ruby, thin brick rim. Red berries, scented, darker berries, some sous bois, slight spicy note, almost mineral. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, fresh, elegant texture, rounded, fruity, livelier finish, fresh, long and fairly youthful still, long. 94

1945 Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays
OCT 10 B/C level fill, about 5 cm below cork. Ruby with brick rim, lots of sediments for a Burgundy. Earthy, touch of strawberries, leather, thyme and lavender, even anise. Gorgeous texture, perfect balance even if a touch of metal first. Later adding more and more body and fruits, silky mouthfeel as I have never had before, absolutely fantastic, cherries, red berries and darker fruits, more intense, leather, plums, tannins gone, after about 20 minutes it really peaks, good acidity but the silk hides it, incredible length. Then dying off getting more coffee and dry. Way beyond expectations, what a fantastic memory I will have of this wine! 98

1938 Clos de Lambrays

APR 11 Michel Couvreur Negociant bottle, fill 4cm below cork. Very pale garnet, orange rim. Volatile touch, strawberry jam, evolved, some leather, refined nose. Getting better and better for 25 minutes in the glass, then a slow deterioration. Gorgeous acidity, pure, extremely elegant and balanced, more fruit sweetness with air on the palate as well, sweet and sour, long length. 93
