December 24, 2017 - Showing some brown-brick-red at edges. Past its prime for sure, but still very worthwhile. I'm sure a few years ago it would have warranted 94-95.

September 25, 2016 - CHERRIES, BLACK CHERRIES, AND SOME EARTHINESS IN THE NOSE. PLUMS, BLACK CHERRIES, AND A TOUCH OF SPICE IN THE FLAVOR. MEDIUM TO LONG FINISH

November 27, 2015 - Perhaps it needed more time to breathe. But, it was a little bitter on the finish

November 22, 2015 - Side by side with an 05 Rouget Nuits St Georges. Showing some ambering at rim. Very forthcoming, bright pure ripe cherries, earthy nuances, and depth. Consistent on the palate. I thought this would fade quickly, but it didn't. Strongly consistent through the two and a half hour mark, without a hint of fade. Big, upfront, and delicious. I see what all the buzz is about. At the same time, I have to say I prefer the Rouget in its subdued, understated structure, and eventually forthcoming pure deep tarry, sappy fruit that carries an element of mystery and magic. (Don't know how to say it any other way.) The Marcassin is an elegant beauty, would easily wow in its upfront appeal during the first two hours, and is a sublime wine at its peak. Good for another 5-7 years, though no reason to defer gratification now.
