December 24, 2021 - Was really looking forward to this wine but it really fell short of expectations. Lots of earthy ground coffee note on the nose. On the palette you get a lot of heavy tertiary notes and brett coupled with formidable acidity in the backend but the mid palette rings hollow with very little to no fruit in the whole experience. Some ppl say that 1998 burgundies are coming around but cant say this particular bottle supports that hypothesis.

September 26, 2020 - FWSG tasting. Tasted blind. Drank in Grassl Cru.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity with wide garnet rim. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of tertiary earth, moist damp mossy forest floor, dark florals, dark red plums, sour red cherries, hint of mushroom. Developed.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), structured medium+ tannins. medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of leather, savoury mushroom, moist forest floor, dark earth, sour red cherries, dark plums. Long finish.
Very very good quality. Complex tertiary with strong fruit. At peak.
Jesus! Drink and enjoy. -

December 21, 2015 - Great nose of light wild forest strawberries, sous bois. On taste a nice delicate wild strawberry and cherry component, with nice bright acidity and fine light tannins. Quite expressive and delicate. A gorgeous bottle.

7/1/2006 (link)(Bouchard Père et Fils Beaune Grèves Vigne de l’Enfant Jésus) Deep ruby-coloured. High tones over a glossy base, plus some meaty and faintly herbal notes - great at the start, interesting but not great at the end. Depth, freshness and density, plenty of tannin, but only faintly astringent. Very nice fruit and length, needs at least another 3 or 4 years.
