December 27, 2021 - Stored in cool Whistler cellar less than 45 degrees F and part of a vertical tasting of Engel Clos Vougeot.. Medium light red with crushed dried cranberry nose. Soaring palate of white alpine strawberries and , cherry Asian spices with a dusting of white pepper on the backend. Best 2025-2040.

September 7, 2021 - Bit of reductive stink. Quite light on palate, not perfectly clean.

January 6, 2019 - In the zone and just about fully mature. No-doubter aromatics right from the pop of the cork with a big smack of earth and saddle leather-type scents that still manage to stay on the clean side of funky. On the palate this has mellowed out quite a bit from my last bottle just a few years ago, which was still densely packed - now the tannin feels mostly resolved into a silky, loose-knit package, an almost jarringly elegant take on Clos Vougeot that shows a bit more solidity in the stony backdraft on the finish.

September 9, 2017 - A special wine, showing very well though I don't think there's any rush. Savory plum and soy notes, backed by firm acidity and some impressive lift, but somewhat thin and diluted, which knocked it down a point or two.
