November 6, 2020 - Still vibrant, layered and impeccably balanced. Lovely cherry and berry notes, nice acidity. Wish I had more from this vintage.

August 7, 2019 - Very nicely done medium bodied burgundy with fresh aromas of berries and earth, nice acidity and a lasting mineral-tinged finish. Holding up well at 14 years of age.

December 13, 2008 - A Couple of '05 Cote de Beaunes (Vin Vino, Palo Alto): Medium to dark ruby. Reduction and anise on the nose. Big, lush, syrupy feel-positively chewy and liqueur-like. Essence of Pinot. Undeveloped fruit, long tannic finish, but could use more acidity. This is a beast that hits you like a sledgehammer when tasted right after the delicate Drouhin Volnay. Reminiscent of old time Burgundy with very impressive material yet no sense of being overextracted. Who knows where it is going, though. I find it difficult to read whether it will turn out to be titanic or a poorly balanced, flabby dud.
