  February 19, 2024 - Pretty nose with menthol notes, cherries, herbs, underwood, and bright red fruit. Good acidity and still quite a bit of tannins (as is expected from Gouges) but it still feels quite approachable on the palate. Flavors of red cherries, strawberries, cedar, and forest follow. Long finish. A lively wine that will continue to age for a while longer but it's really good right now.

  October 2, 2023 - Tasted blind. Earthy and spicy and minerally on the nose with relatively ripe, rich red cherry. On the palate quite sweet-toned with good depth to the fruit and very nice tannic structure. Gripping pretty nice towards the finish and has good length. Super youthful despite some developed characteristics. Excellent.

  July 27, 2022 - Dinner at D Cuisine (Chicago, IL): Pretty classic as far as old school Gouges goes. The nose comes off a bit more red-fruited than I would expect for a wine of this age, and there's definitely some Nuits earthiness at play here. On the palate, this definitely has quite a bit of backwards, tannic weight that is pretty classic to me, but I do like the fruit character of this wine with its tilt towards the red side of the spectrum and a fair bit of acidity. Good aging potential.

  June 4, 2020 - After a great bottle of 2002 I was hopeful for repeat fireworks. Not exactly, but it is starting to shed some of the structure that caused comrade Texier to say it tastes like Barolo. Interesting next to the Chevillon as it actually started out seemingly more open and slighetned over the evening while the Chevillon really blossomed. All the things from you'd expect from Les Saint Georges except maybe without the sense of "Grand Cru". A wine of depth and complexity in earth, fruit, savory and mineral. Maybe just lacks some grace.
