  January 22, 2024 - Union Des Grands Crus Bordeaux (New York City, NY, USA): Maybe this was poured from a bottle that was just opened but this was quite tannic, and oak dominated with lots of vanilla but showed very little fruit. Seemed very closed and hard to evaluate, earthy though for sure. Probably better with more aeration and age in the cellar, but as is, I'm not impressed.

  January 20, 2024 - UGCB Millésime 2021 (Montréal, QC, Canada): Beau fruit au nez, plus réservé en bouche. Tannins très fins. Classy.

  June 22, 2022 - (92-94 vvPunkte) Intensiv würzige Nase, fast schon spicy, strahlender Frucht, steinig-kühlen Noten, dazu Trockenkräuter, komplex. Im Gaumen rotfruchtig und frisch, mittlerer Körper, feinkörniges, kalkig geprägtes Tannin. Der Wein zeigt im Abgang eine strahlende, rote Frucht und viel Frische. "Pinot-Noir-like", sehr gelungen. 2025-2042+ (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022. UGCB/Dourthe) vvWine.ch

  May 20, 2022 - Plummy, polished, soft, and fresh, the floral characteristics in the nose make an impression before you experience the multiple layers of sweet, ripe, juicy, dark plums, espresso, and chocolate in the mid-palate and in the round, soft, silky, long finish. Drink from 2023-2050. 93-95
