December 18, 2022 - Tasted blind, this wine had a medium red center with puce rims. The medium+ intensity nose of black cherries, plums, tan spices, and minerals with attractive.
In the mouth, this wine was medium bodied with nice richness, acidity, and length. It developed quite well in the glass and showed rounded tannin and nice balance.
This actually seems a bit young and could use another 5-10 years in the cellar. At that point, my score might improve by a point or so. -

December 6, 2022 - From Math a little better than in prior times. The nose quite promising with some LT seductive hints. The body good.

December 6, 2022 - Salon Focofi Paris walkabout and dinner, so no detailed tasting notes. From Methusalem. Still dense and a bit brooding. Good but clearly outshined by the 1979 RSV.

February 9, 2022 - Absolutely gorgeous perfectly mature nose displaying sweet slightly dry black fruit, blackberry, black cherry, sous bois, a hint of stem, caramel, soy, Vosne spice, Asian medicinal chest, black tea and earth. Perfectly mature palate, layer upon layers of rich sweet black fruit, silky, rich and oily, medium acidity, earthy mineral, still noticeable but fine tannins, and a long ripe black fruit driven finish with sous bois and cinnamon at the end. The nose remains very expressive. The palate is slightly angular. I am once again surprised by how well this wine is drinking.

August 25, 2021 - Purple color with orange rim. drinking with 89 Leroy, this bottle is more purple, wilder, bigger palate, fuller body, more mouthcoating, more powerful. m+ tannin, good structure.
however this bottle has no signature Vosnes spice.
