Asperg Wine Syndrome Tasting Group: Easter Edition 2024 (Asperg): Tasted blind blind. Needs a lot of time and air to unfold. At first nervous and a bit unbalanced. After a quick decant it showed its true beauty. Fine fruit, fresh herbs, elegant, mineral and very dense and deep. Oak is beautifully integrated. Good length. Solid upscale potential. 92-93+

Rene Engel Dinner (Benoit Bistro, Manhattan): Typical aromatics of matchstick reduction. This wine is firing on all gears (1) purity of fruit (2) acid (3) structure / depth are all present and in harmony here. The 16 vintage for whites is a strange one. When they hit, they hit.

WJL Birthday @ Noreetuh: Characteristically BV - a big wine with broad shoulders. Classical Meursault richness. Pronounced acidity keeps the wine in balance. Shows some weakness of the vintage, but will surely keep for years.

The Bernard Boisson Vadot bottlings are all so good. I think the kids are not yet matching the quality of Bernard. Even the frost laden 2016 vintage is fantastic tonight, rich, textural and so vibrant with great depth at the core, racy citrusy acids and the perfect amount of attractive flinty reduction. Great bottle.

René Engel: Leaner than I remembered, showing a lot of acidity despite the light reduction on the second day, decent white fruit. 92-93
