  March 25, 2023 - Quite a bit of VA at start, which took about an hour or so to blow off. Certainly lacks details and clarity compared with the other wines of the flight, not messy, but unrefined. The bottle peaked about an hour in with the midpalate really showing off with nice silky fruit, but fell apart quickly after, and remained rustic and turned leaner as the evening progressed.

  March 25, 2023 - CDLR Dinner (Fort Lee, NJ): Fort Lee Dinner with WJ Lee: Notes of VA upon opening. Perfume was rustic as was the palate. Some structure here but the wine never really came together. Typically Ponsot and more so Ponsot than Burgundian. For me, this represented a rather unexciting wine and one of the underperformers of the lineup.

  July 10, 2022 - After 3.5 hour decant and more breathing in the bottle this showed loads of liquorish on the nose pallet and long finish. Reminded me more of a Barbaresco than a grand cru Burgundy. There was a little bit left and the next day, pretty much the same… liquorish.

  August 17, 2021 - 9 of 12. Decanted at 5:00 served at 9:00. Opening nose of tightly wound, tart cherry fruit, promising. At dinner this continued to preform along the same lines as my two recent bottles. This is a very nice glass of Burgundy in early maturity. It’s value reflects that of a 1’er Cru MSD and it drinks like one too….

  August 29, 2020 - Served double blind. This is the good Ponsot - in good vintages, it's often great. In bad vintages......less so. But this was firing on all cylinders; cool blue fruit tannins well resolved. Absolutely lovely, and I'm not always a huge fan of Ponsot. Easily the second best bottle of Ponsot Clos de la Roche I've had after the 2010.
