  August 22, 2022 - Chablis and Red Côte de Beaune Dinner (Portofino - Chicago IL): Enjoyable, but not quite showing the intensity of this great vintage.

  August 15, 2020 - Saturday hangout (socially distanced) (Chicago, IL): A solid bottle of Burgundy, but not exactly the most inspiring. The nose comes off initially a little woodsy and there's a lot of spice as well. On the palate, there's quite a bit of density and weight, as well as a touch of oak and some black fruit. A touch of Sharpie as well. This is a correct wine, but it lacks any excitement; pretty consistent for the Nicolas Potel wines, truth be told.

  February 28, 2020 - Ruby. At first, quite a bit of resiny wood on the nose, but this backed off to reveal more modulated green tones and licorice. Light to medium weight, proper Volnay. Crisp black more than dark red fruit, acidity veering toward the cranberry end of the spectrum, strong remaining tannins, and a nice lashing of soil. Thankfully, less of a wood impression on the palate than the initial sniff suggests. This is coming along very nicely yet is still a good 5 years away from maturity. Typical 2005 aging curve, it seems.
