December 16, 2022 - Ripe red fruits, lovely aromatics, only modest complexity on the palate. A very pretty bottle of this wine

December 31, 2020 - I’ve been disappointed by young DRC RSV; it can be a blunt object without the delicate articulation you might hope to find (which may - and should - change as the vines age). But this is simply gorgeous. A marriage of fresh blueberry and raspberry with classic Vosne spice, and freshly dug damp earth. Pungent nose, but a light touch. Fun, beautiful, totally engaging. At or perhaps just past its apogee.

August 15, 2020 - Continues to be a standout amongst the RSVs of the era. Substance on the palate and yet a light overall feel with delicate spice.
