  May 13, 2023 - {Gevrey-Chambertin tasting hosted by Confrerie; bottle bought on release, near perfect fill, sound cork} Short notes - GREAT palate and rich, complex nose. Great showing but not quite as good as the 1997 (95) and 1999 (93-94) Clos St Jacques Jadots but better than the 2008 Bruno Clair Clos de Beze also tasted in the flight (92).

  December 12, 2021 - {Bought on release, perfect fill, same case as bottle described a year ago} Sensational, still fairly red color without a browning rim. Earthy, Gevrey-Chambertin nose a bit reticent to start, lots of depth and complexity that took a good 3 hours to bloom. Both red and black fruits present, some griottes cherries too, hints of earth and tobacco, something animal as well. Very savory and long palate presence; medium weight yet feels quite full. Fine tannins. To use a phrase am seeing more of, it "kicks on" with additional layers of complexity over time.
  
  Plus it's just delicious.
  
  Comments by Miadelt, BillyT, Fijole, Mistress of Wine seem quite accurate. Best vintage of this wine I can recall, and I think I have not sufficiently appreciated the merits of this vineyard in the past.

  September 16, 2020 - {1st of 12 bought on release, professional storage, excellent fill} PopNPour and consumed over 3 hours. Complex, earthy Gevrey aromatics with an initial tart front nose that evolved into rich, warm fruit with substantial depth and a very long finish. At 2 hours, huge plush fruit, almost a confiture at one time or another, with early secondary elements, yet lots of precision and focus. Great, great wine that will age for decades. Rated 92-96 at one time or another. Honestly, have not had a better bottle or vintage of this vineyard; you probably need a Grand Cru vineyard to be substantially better than this wine. Much better than the 1999 or 2002 Jadot Clos St. Jacques.

  February 7, 2020 - Decanted for 1 hour but it needed 3 hours to open up. Once the wine fully opened at about 3 hours, it was a very good Gevrey. Good body and typical flavors.
