    November 20, 2023 - La Paulée de Meursault (Château de Meursault): Terreux, on dirait presque un vieux Pommard! Le style du vin est austère, mais il montre des tanins très fins et une finale élégante. 91 pts

    August 1, 2018 - La robe présente des signes d'évolution, légèrement tuilée sur les bord, un peu trouble. J'avais ouvert la bouteille le matin, mais le vin était renfrogné au début, puis nous a fait la danse des sept voiles. Il n'a pas cessé de se déployer pendant tout le repas, passant tour à tour des notes de sous-bois, relativement simples, à des fruits (confiture de mûres et de cerises noires), puis menthol et camphre, encens. La bouche est moins impressionnante, evoluée, toucher agréable, mais a perdu de la densité qu'elle présentait encore il y a 2 ans. Au final quand même un beau vin qui s'est bien accordé avec les pigeons.

    November 19, 2015 - not a rebuy at $119, this was very nice, on night one it was dark, rustic, with drying tannins, on night two it had mellowed a bit and was better with hints of red fruit blending in with the darker base, good acid, just a hint of sweetness to balance what i would say is an austere core, less drying but still drying... good but not great and only good on nights 2 and 3... if i had one more i would wait another five years but the outcome would be uncertain

    November 2, 2015 - Lovely nose of vibrant red fruit. Delicious paired with rabbit. Well worth waiting 20 years: who says Burgundies don't age well?

    September 20, 2013 - Lafon Santenots 1969-2005 (La Trompette, Chiswick, London): Tannic, but buffered. Very grippy
