  October 12, 2023 - Perhaps my bottle was in a better spot than those below who had issues, but I found the wine to be spectacular. I was lucky enough to buy a couple cases of 05 GC’s and 1ers back in the day and some have disappointed at times (eg. N.Potel), but this bottle was amazing. The dark black cherry fruit was still abundant, there was nice spice, acidity was zippy and the finish was long. The bottle opened up nicely over 3 hours after decanting and went phenomenally with the Momofuku Ko tasting menu. If blind, I would have guessed a 10 year old or so bottle. I think there is a lot more life expectancy here and look forward to my remaining bottles.

  May 21, 2021 - Not a Damoy fan and this bottle confirms it. If you have the largest plot, you should make the best wine, DRC will tell you because you are the only one that can discard sub-par barrels/plots to Negoce. However, if your farming or your wine making is crap, not much hope!. Vogue‘s Musigny and Damoy‘s Chambertins are two sad examples. Let's hope French inheritance law will help to transfer ownership... All the Burgundy lovers at the table were thoroughly disappointed with this wine. Alcoholic heat, dark fruit, extraction, are we in Languedoc? Even 1h decanting did not help. The alc. finish just got hotter, complex aromas anyone? A shame what they bottled in such a vintage and vineyard.

  July 11, 2020 - Comes alive after about 2 hours
  Beautiful French Pinot fruit
  Tannins still present suggesting more years ahead

  August 31, 2019 - One hour of air. Beautiful strawberry and cherry scents, along with faint cinnamon and mint. Also rare roast beef notes. On the tongue, red berries, fennel seed, vanilla. Tannins plentiful but silky. In a beautiful spot right now. Seems mature but will easily last a few more years. Gorgeous.
  Score: 94-95. Relative to expectations: ++
