  July 8, 2023 - 95+. Fantastic Reference for a Burgundy.
  Color: Light red with orange-ish tint.
  Medium bodied. Medium alcohol. Good acidity still. Silky soft tannins.Alcohol and tannins are so well integrated, as expected.
  
  Nose is devine. Perfume was super. Delicate aromas of fresh fruits, vanilla sweetness from oak, with subtle hints of flowers plus earthiness. After 3+ hours of air, I even got smells of spices, chilly and meat.
  
  Palate matches the nose, 10 on 10. Nice fruits. A bit of salt and minerality. No alcohol burn in the throat or mouth. Quite decent finish. Delicate and elegant, reminds me of Chambole.
  
  This is a complex and interesting pinot. I could drink a whole bottle of this in one sitting. The only complain I have is that the finish could have been longer. Like I said earlier, easily a 95+.

  June 21, 2020 - I own two bottles and opened the first one for Father's Day. Decanted for about an hour and it continued to evolve for another 2 hours. At first, it was surprisingly delicate, almost Chambolle-like aromatics. Over time the more classic Chambertin power emerged with asian spices predominating. A really nice wine from a variable year.

  February 6, 2016 - Drinking well after a two hour decant. Pretty fruit on a well balanced palate with integrated tannins. Goes down easy (too easy), complements food very well, and has a medium long and clean finish. Not a lot of complexity on either the nose or the palate, not sure it will develop or whether this has the stuffing to stay fresh while it does.

  October 14, 2015 - Nice color. Nose is still a bit shy and not complex. Taste is smooth, rich, and fairly deep with a long finish. Tannins are well integrated. Not very complex as yet, but seems to have good potential in a few more years. Enjoyable to drink now but should get better.
