February 16, 2024 - Smells amazing but finishes rustic.
September 28, 2023 - Drank with burgundy group - PnP. Needed a decant. Still a bit tough and burly. Serious strength but lacks nuance. No greenery to speak of. Hoping other bottles come around with age. Wait 5 at least for next bottle!
April 22, 2023 - Nez de fruits rouges, des épices, nez qui évolue pour le mieux, aucune verdeur, bouche avenante, puissance et finesse ici aussi, encore une belle acidité, bel équilibre et longueur. Difficile de départager 2006 et 2011. Légère préférence pour 2006 au départ mais à la longue, pas certain, 2 beaux vins. 94-95
Nice nose of red fruit, spices, nose that gets better and better in the glass, power and finesse also, balance and length are grand cru level. Hard to say which one I prefer vs 06.
March 21, 2023 - Farmyard on the nose. The palate is quite polished for a Burgundy and didn’t reflect the 2011 vintage. Beautiful balance of acidity, tannins, fruit and alcohol, but not quite ready for drinking. Leave for another couple of years.
March 3, 2023 - Sweet red fruit, spice, rose. Better showing than previous two bottles. 93+
November 19, 2022 - Really polished and open. Floral with glossy fruit. 93
September 19, 2021 - Beautiful nose
February 20, 2021 - No sign of the vintage for this CDR, very fine but reticent black fruit and spices nose, tight mouth, but the tannins are well buffered by a good amount of sap, this is a strict and serious, introverted grumpy teenager. 2 hours decant but way too young, needs at least 5 years to open up and probably 10 years to be at peak. Very true to terroir.
November 19, 2020 - Drank this next to the 2009, it was just a little more dried out due to the vintage than the 2009. I just didn’t quite appreciate the medicinal nose. Prob could get better with more cellar time and integrate better but I m just not a big fan.
November 18, 2020 - Surprisingly accessible, although it shut down bit in decanter. Polished greeness, sweet Dujac spice, fine stony character. 92-93
