  February 26, 2020 - Super label. Rich and opulent. Powerful and serious. Liquorice, touch of smoke. Needs time to soften and develop tertiary characteristics. Lots of density here and contained power. Exciting.

  February 11, 2020 - Decanted 4 hours - dark cloudy purple. Absolutely killer nose of dried mushrooms, hedgerow fruits and crushed raspberries. Bit of a country cousin - quite beefy and brawny and lacking a bit of polish but no less enjoyable for it. Rustic but good concentration and well made. A hint of toast on the finish to liven things up. Good honest Burg. Nice label.

  August 31, 2019 - Rich, deep, dark fruits with a big chewy core. Somewhat clunky tannin and obvious oak. Young and brawny but with everything in place to be a real winner in 5+.

  March 18, 2019 - MNB: Semi-Terpenic Whites IV (Home (Noe st)): (blind)
  
  Medium minus ruby.
  
  Elevated intensity nose with slightly confected cherry (semi-carbonic), and a hint of new oak. There's a slightly herbaceous stemmy quality. Wet leaves. Attractive, complex nose.
  
  On the palate, dry, 13.5% alcohol, medium plus acid, medium ripe red cherry, medium tannins (a bit bitter), maybe 20% new French oak. Maybe 50%.
  
  Final call, based on the structure, this seems too austere, acidic, and tannic for California - though it could be a cool-climate sonoma. It has a fair amount of new oak, which seems to eliminate New Zealand.
  
  Final Call: 2016 Burgundy, Classified producer, good quality, maybe a Nuits-St.-Georges? (it's a bit tannic). Ripe, modern style.
  
  Actually: 2015 Cote de nuits villages - Galeyrand les retraits
  Analysis: I was largely correct regarding the style.
