Sunday, December 3, 2023 - Fantastic on pop and pour. The nose started out with menthol and medicinal herbs on the first pour which quickly transitioned to intense perfume of violets, Asian spices - 5-spice, hoisin, aniseed. On the palate, surprisingly generous amplitude of fruit given the vintage - black plum, baked cherry, fig, red licorice, of course beautifully balanced. This is drinking really well now, given the vintage I'm not sure I would hang on to this much longer.

I've had some top bottlings of 13 from Barthod, Bertheau, Chevillon, Claude Dugat, Dugat-Py at 1er cru level just to name a few and the midpalate is very hollowed out on most of these wines. A year ago, I had the 13 Dujac Gevrey Combottes and the midpalate wasn't very compelling either. While the 13s can age, I don't think they will get better and you will end up with something that has most of the fruit stripped away.
