  September 25, 2023 - Gorgeous. Still some red fruit is pretty and present, but mostly secondary at this point. Lots of earth and mineral flavors. Smooth. Long finish.

  November 8, 2020 - Decanted 6 hrs. Lovely, elegant nose, brimming with spices and flowers. It really took a while to get a good read on this, first glass was pretty tight (even with lots of swirling) but eventually this peeled back to reveal a rock solid core of black strawberries, loads of white pepper and a bit of Pommard ruggedness. By the second glass, a savory sous bois and gamey character had me almost thinking of a Northern Rhone, but no, still definitely pinot. Lots of structure and acidity, so many years ahead but enough charm to drink today with a long decant. The more red burgs I drink I am finding that I seem to get less out of them when shared with 3 or 4 people or I only get a glass. Give me the bottle (or with my wife) and 2 to 3 hrs. to slowly explore the wine seems to consistently yield a better overall experience.

  November 19, 2019 - Super tight when I first opened it and it didn’t improve much over the next 2hrs. Tried the other half of the btl the next day and the sour cherries were even more pronounced than the day before. Not sure what to think about this one.....

  October 17, 2019 - On opening, bright and rich. 90 minute decant revealed bright acidity and pretty, high-toned fruit. 2-1/2 hours and the acidity receded in favor of the wine’s depth and roundness. Powerful. Tannins on the finish, but add character rather than detract. First class.
