I haven't had this wine in several years and find it still to be incredibly fresh and powerful with great energy. Wow.

Not even close to the freshness of a bottle opened this summer, this was somewhat madeirized and muted. Got even less interesting quickly.

Worth taking this chance when we are tasting a bunch of BBM, but alas, this was DOA.

Also past its peak, this was thankfully served "too cold" which made it seem less mature. Lots of ripe fruit clearly coming through, but very advanced.

Slightly mature with good balance of earth and orchard fruit. Best to drink up in the next few years.

Very similar to another bottle from earlier this year. Ripe peach aromas and flavors with good balance, even without the expected edge and acidity from more classic vintages. An extroverted wine that avoids being too flamboyant.

Very interesting wine, I never would have thought this from Sauzet (or 2006) if served blind. Reserved and even slightly backward start. Big and powerful fruit but not ultra ripe and forward at all. Firmly structured. Needs more time.

Served blind. Very good and surprisingly elegant villages level wine from a producer I didn't know. Meaty, well textured with still lively fruit in the center.

All black fruit, coming across as somewhere between backward and rustic. Reticent from the start, never fully forthcoming. Probably better in 5+ years.

Ripe fruit aromas with good combination of earth, dark chocolate and some toasty spice. New oak still a bit pronounced giving a modern style. Very good fruit, moderate spice, ok finesse. Good now.

Some of the people at dinner liked this a lot, others didn't. Very perfumed with good spice but also a slightly murky character that came across as less than pristine.

I haven't had this wine since shortly after release and it is very impressive today. Opened slowly, so really requiring some attention and time. Slightly floral, lots of nuance and textures. Not a powerhouse, but very elegant.

Red and black fruit aromas with some subtle earth and spice. Starts off subtle, picks up more power towards middle and end. Good balance.

Black fruit aromas and flavors with good concentration and power. Somewhat firm, making it come across as slightly drying, while also detracting from overall balance.

Very nice with a big, ripe character. Not particularly "Gevrey" to me. Also simpler with less finesse than I would expect from Grand Cru in a good vintage.
