  July 16, 2023 - This wine is fairly easygoing, with dark red fruit, some soft mineral. The quality that stands out the most, would be decay… like decayed forest floor(not rotting), and sweet decayed soil; maybe a little too much. It’s still decent. Would be fun to throw this in with a bunch of other Chambertin…

  October 21, 2021 - Btl #384. Notes after four hours in decanter. Intact but saturated cork. Dark, dusty ruby color with quick legs and a small amount of sediment. Wet wood (not cardboard) and poop are prominent for the first 30 minutes on the nose and then it settles down to dark plum, fig, brambles, and toast. Compared to two years ago, this is coming across like it’s running out of gas and there isn’t going to be enough fruit to carry it long into the future. Throughout the 4 hours of tasting, it never developed up in any way and remained rather flat. 4+10+16+7= 87

  October 4, 2019 - Funny, but not too surprising, how I can read Jeff Nowak’s note from 7 years ago and feel exactly the same way about the wine now as he did then: a lovely nose after some initial funk blew off, with a high-pedigree aura, but the palate showed little depth or distinction. The bouquet that is there shows very good persistence and still a small dose of that “Burgundy magic”, but no real fireworks for me. Good appearance in the glass, high cork saturation (typical for MI), no sediment.
  4+13+16+8= 91
