January 4, 2012 - A bit rustic but not overly so... mildly hard / structured on opening. Reasonably fresh but far from fruity. Traces of cocoa powder, irony earth and dust outline reticent sweet red fruits and dried fruits. Good now with good and better in 5 or so years. Will never be a masterpiece but very much my kind of wine and very enjoyable within context.

November 24, 2010 - Brief decant but it should go longer. On the initial pop it was bright, classic pinot but gave next to nothing on the palate. So I let it sit in the pie-plate decanter for an hour. Flat when revisited over the hour but then it started to blossom, almost 60 minutes later exactly. Raspberries, pencil shavings, lavendar, and rose petals. Delicate on the nose but some tannic grip on the tongue with a hint of green pepper. The lengthy decant and grip tell me this needs more time. Delicious nonetheless.

March 10, 2009 - Martine's Wines Portfolio tasting (MK, Chicago IL): nose: nice darkish profile with meaty tones, bits of leather, red currants, dark spice and bits of black cherries. A bit brooding and rustic, but very pungent right now
taste: good medium/high acidity with a nice lush feel of dark red fruits, black cherries, some leather, dark spices, and red currants
overall: very beaune in style and character with a really nice dark backdrop. Enjoyable while being young, should be able to improve with time, but is extremely enjoyable right now -

3/3/2010 (link)(MICHEL GAY Beaune-Coucherias) 2005 Red Burgundy Dear Friends, I just got back from tasting this set of wines and they have come around substantially since bottling (in a similar fashion to many of the tight 2005s). At their respective tariffs, they represent outstanding price/value at this point for 2005 red Burgundy and will pair with a number of dishes in a stellar fashion. Due to limited quantities, that's all I will say but I will include the original Burghound reviews and you can use your own imagination as to their positive evolution. The silly part is that the 88 and 89pt scores mean nothing when it comes to your dinner table - both will make for enticing drinking over the next 6-8 years (at a minimum) and they should continue to improve... 2005 Michel Gay et Fils Beaune-Coucherias 1er Vieilles Vignes (BH88) (This wine has become especially strong) 2005 Michel Gay et Fils Savigny-Les-Beaune "Serpentieres" 1er (BH89) (make sure any comparable listings you see are Michel Gay et Fils, not Francois Gay which is cheaper) A 20 year wine if stored properly? Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Burg7224 Burg7225
