January 13, 2024 - Timuquana BYO (TCC): Fruit and lightness and spices. This is drinking well. Very nice and easy and a good change of pace from some of the bigger wines we had this night. It’s more one-dimensional in style and missing that next level of depth from some of the best ones.

July 7, 2022 - Celebrating a birthday (Seasons 52): Out of a magnum. This was fresh and herbal and lower fruit and more in the woodsy style. Drinking pretty well. Nice pairing with more structured seafood (e.g. shrimp and grits).

August 20, 2017 - Cork broke as I was opening the bottle which tells me it was time to uncork this bottle. We drank it with a 2009 Volnay-Santenots, and to me it was interesting to taste the constancy of this particular wine, 20 years apart: tastes change, the wine remains the same.
