  October 14, 2011 - As Hobbes said - "Life ... is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short". So is this wine. I tried hard to care, but now it is all down the drain.

  July 7, 2007 - Dennis' summer tasting: Red and brown with brick rim. Sour red berries on the nose. Sweet and intense, but also sour in the mouth. "Crushed cherrystones". Again balance is thrown off by a high level of acid.

  April 26, 2003 - Macon’s: Astoundingly rich, gamey, full of earthy terroir typical of Chambertin; rich mouthfeel, could use a couple more years. Also, may have been hints of oxydization from heat when I bought it in Gevry Chambertin.

  August 30, 2002 - Rich ruby red; subtle berry smell; higher earth tones; silky smooth, bad memory, can’t remeber this one; very nice body & taste; good fin.
