  June 5, 2019 - Tannins are still very much alive and not much fruit. Dense and dark fruits on the nose. Not sure if it will soften with time. Not the best bottle.

  August 15, 2012 - Almost opaque purple in colour. Dark fruited with atypical overripe scorched cab merlot fruits characteristics. Gobs of dripping ripe blue and black berries.

  May 19, 2011 - A lot of oak and deep sweet dark fruit. Lots of dark fruit but masked by the oak. Too much oak in the wine. And tannic. Big and the fruit is not apparent. Too oaky. Too early to tell.

  May 19, 2011 - Burgundy 2011 Day 4: The Big Dinner aka Singapore Night in Burgundy (Baubigny): Even tougher than the 2005 Morey 1er that preceded it, this was very hard to judge indeed. It had a feep, dark nose, with plums, cassis and dark cherries dominant. Not unattractive, but a bit dense and difficult to unpack. The palate took on the tones of the bouquet, showing a mouthfull of deep, concentrated dark fruit, but this was wrapped with lots of oaky tannins at the moment - so super tannic as it coats the mouth and teeth that it was hard to drink at the moment. At the rare moments that I got past the tannins, the finish showed a touch of wood spice and dried herbs. Perhaps the fruit will one day outlive the tannins, but at the moment, that is just about impossible to tell. A difficult wine.
