January 5, 2023 - very typical nose, pretty dark, a bit rough and rustic, everything there but not perfectly well balanced.
January 31, 2022 - Light medium ruby color. Present nose of fresh red cherry and strawberry with just a hint of warm oak. Dry, zippy acidity, grippy tannins, fruity palate follows through. Medium body. Ok balance (distinct acid and tannic edges). Medium linear finish. Disappointing for a GC.
September 23, 2020 - Red fruits, strawberry, flora, medium+ tannin and acidity. Probably just enter drinking window, will benefit for ageing or decanting 1-2 hours.
August 15, 2020 - Terrific
April 28, 2020 - Juicy blackberries, grainy medium tannins, good acid for balance. Very tasty.
January 14, 2018 - Coocked style that I always hate in 09. And this is prieur who loves wood and does wood. Not my wine though I understand those admiring 09 early dring style.
February 27, 2015 - The Verticals Tasting at La Paulée 2015 (Colicchio & Sons, New York): Dark in color. Massive, deep, ripe red fruit and noticeable oak. Very one toned now, clearly modern, but great length and incredible concentration without overextraction. I'm interested to see where this one goes.
June 29, 2014 - At Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant in SF. deep rich ruby. Nose was fabulous, incredible. Silky on the palate, excellent fruit. Clearly a cut above. 4-14-16-8: 92/100.
September 20, 2013 - Nice fruit, but way too young. Want another one
December 1, 2012 - Grand Tasting 2012 avec 5 membres de la SCO (Carroussel du Louvre, Paris, France): Quelle belle dégustation, voilà un grand Cru de 2009 à la trame droite, loin de la surmaturation, et qui surprend par l'explosion d'arômes végétaux et épicés en bouche (note mentholée ?). Le prix est à l'avenant, mais se gardera t-il si longtemps ? En tous cas ce millésime chaud se goûte déjà vraiment bien en Bourgogne et permet de douter un peu.
