Daniel Rion 1999 Les Beaux-Monts Pinot Noir (Vosne-Romanée)
- Online Exclusive
- $52
Rion holds back on the new oak, letting the pure, supple fruit speak for itself. This is a muscular Vosne, young and firm, showing excellent focus and structure. Already the finish lingers beautifully, with layers of texture and tightly wrapped fruit. Should cellar well for a decade or more.

Daniel Rion 1999 Clos dea Argillieres Pinot Noir (Nuits-St.-Georges)
- Online Exclusive
- $52
This is a lovely, fragrant Burgundy, with a smoky/cherry scented nose leading into a rather tight, hard young wine. Hints of rosewater, graham cracker and tobacco are there, along with some green tannins. Medium body and texture; needs more time to show its best stuff.

Daniel Rion 1999 Les Charmes Pinot Noir (Chambolle-Musigny)
- Online Exclusive
- $65
The nose is dominated by the attractive scents of new French oak, with some hints of pipe tobacco and just a whiff of volatile acidity. It is tight and tannic, a bit "lifted" with the VA, and at this point not showing much fruit or complexity, given the price.
