Small glass, brief note. Subtle floral start with red berry aromas and flavors. rounded textures, moderate weight and length. I prefer this over the 2011 version.

Lots of ripe and powerful apple throughout, with at least as much toast and yeast notes. Certainly good in its style, but this will become very bready/ yeasty in the next few years, which I doubt I will like.

Opened two bottles from the same case and they were slightly different. First was floral, ripe and dense, with a linear/ precise character from middle to finish. Second showed more opulent fruit and some thought a more pronounced sense of new oak, and was less harmonious. Will need to open another soon as a tie-breaker.

Small glass, brief note. Bottle had been well stored for many years, but alas, musty, tired and too barnyardy. Drinkable, but disappointing vs expectations.

Maturing red cherry start-to-finish with Asian five spice. Moderate length and weight, excellent balance. Still showing good structural support. No upside from here, and very enjoyable today so probably best to drink up soon. Better than another bottle from the same case opened a year+ ago.

Small glass, brief note. Black fruit with woodsy notes and very good density and length. Meaty, powerful and still tannic, I'd expect this to be much better in 5 years and probably even better in 10.

Small glass, brief note. Served double blind, I correctly identified this as Puligny 1er Cru from 2012. Ripe, rich and slightly tropical, but with just enough acidity and then more minerality to make it seem almost restrained and elegant. Still, probably best to drink young, perhaps 2018-2026.

Tasted double blind. A perplexing wine. Lots of very lush, ripe black fruit with good concentration. This came across Pinot-like but with so little complexity, acidity or any of the hallmarks of Burgundy made at this level. Fun to taste blind, thanks for tricking me, Sheldon!

Small glass, brief note. Maturing red cherry with spice hints. Very enjoyable. Simple but good for Villages at this price.

Small glass, brief note. Broad cross-section of black, red and blue berries here with Vosne styled spices. Similar flavors but slightly more rugged and firm on palate. Good now but I think this has 93 point potential 2020 forward.

This bottle had been opened the day before, at which point it might have been good, but today it seemed more like rotting garbage.

Small glass, served double blind. Both rich and opulent while also tense and energetic. Black plum, liqueur and roast meat character. Rounded and beautifully balanced. Very long. I thought it right bank Bordeaux.

Small glass, brief note. Dense black fruit with tobacco and liqueur hints. Structure comes across as more elegant, integrated and harmonious vs the last couple of times tasted in the past few years.

Small glass, brief note. Dense black fruit showing more maturation than I expected, while also still firmly structured. Good concentration, but slightly lacking harmony.

Small glass, brief note. Dense black fruit but too firmly structured with both acid and tannins for giving pleasure at present. Upside from here?

Small glass, brief note. Came across as very modern with overly roasted black fruit. Perhaps some heat damage, but this was a disappointing bottle given its reputation.

Small glass, brief note. Gamy and underbrushy with good concentration, but slightly lacking in fresh fruit for its age. I preferred this when younger.

Small glass, brief note. Very ripe, very dark and chewy. Backward for now, so cellar longer, but it's unclear if this will ever really be balanced and pleasurable.

Tasted double blind, small glass, brief note. Tough to identify. Seemed lower acid than Riesling, while rich but not very sweet or unctuous. Plus displaying an almost Rose color. Moderate length, weight. Good overall.
