  October 29, 2023 - A great and open 2005. Nose seductive and singing, body still a little on the tight side but I don’t mind. Makes the wine more focused. Nice to see some 2005s tip toeing into their drinking windows.

  July 31, 2022 - This was delightful, with the delicious balance that others note. It is still very fresh for a 2005 vintage - lots of fruit in the form of berries and black cherries. It is not as powerful as I think I was expecting; it struck me as a little more subtle and delicate wine. There is just not a wrong note. That might be the one slight disappointment I found: that it was not hitting me with something unusual. However, there is about a third of the bottle left so maybe that is yet to come. Really great Burgundies keep evolving until the very end, and this one did evolve over time.
  
  The valuation made it scary to open this bottle, but once opened, it was singing and so enjoyable with each sip. It is a super well-made wine. It could certainly age longer but is quite good now.

  June 30, 2022 - Birthday Dinner Featuring Bonneau du Martray and the Very Best of Chambolle-Musigny (The Bristol - Chicago IL): In Amoureuses flight, including Groffier 95/05/10. Opened and double decanted several hours before serving. Great concentration and weight with lots of black cherry and berry, savory spice and roasted meat, finishing with lots of power. Group could not reach consensus on preference between this and the 2010.

  February 5, 2022 - Chez G, decanted an hour, perfect cork and level - dark glossy quite dense (for Burg) ruby, little rim development; attractive, nuanced nose, black cherry, judiciously spiced, hints of sous bois, graphite and strawberry, floral elements; fullish, much less developed palate, long, persistent and concentrated, silk and polish, should develop greater nuance with time, drinkable with pleasure but adolescent, upside. VF (18.5).

  January 1, 2022 - Completely different experience than the last bottle from about 2 years ago. This was open and had a gorgeous and complex nose of wild strawberries, pure fruit, and cherries. Good acidity with excellent balance and less structure than expected along with flavors of forest floor and more berries. Long finish. Amazing wine that was drinking perfectly. Not sure what has happened in 2 years since the last taste or if just bottle variation…
