December 10, 2023 - It was served along with other 2005 burgundy wines in my BD dinner, happened to be the most easy one, with tertiary aroma and taste. It could be at its peak to drink up.
August 5, 2023 - I opened it for Andrew’s BD dinner. It showed brownish color, subtle wet forest nose with little sweetness aftertaste (酸梅汤）。
April 3, 2023 - Drank 11 bottles at 2023 Spring Dinner at Georges; was good but somewhat tight
February 19, 2023 - [Doubled decanted around 2pm.]
September 11, 2021 - PnP'ed. Perhaps I'm partial towards M. Gaunoux wines... Coming right after the '17 Gangloff Barbarine (which displayed both intensity & elegance), I thought this would pale; But this blew the gates open. A mesmerizing melange of red-cherries, tea-leaves, violets, bits of spices & smoke greeted the nose. The Somm agreed that if blinded, this would no doubt led guesses to Vosne. If the Barbarine were a study in elegance, this was a further step up, adding royalty & aristocracy to it with a backbone lurking beneath that wealth of fruit. Just so delicious, with the bottle finishing in no time. Have no doubt that this will reach new heights with more ageing.
May 23, 2021 - Needed a 1hr decant, peaked at 2 hr
October 31, 2019 - drinking very well. sup erelong finish - consistent
October 29, 2019 - Terrible nose and highly acidic taste. Did not taste or smell corked. Based on other reviews it must have been a defective bottle. Disappointing based on the cost and expectations.
April 5, 2019 - Whiffs of grandeur but needs a lot more time.
February 5, 2017 - Not the best example, some good some not so good with this producer.
