DIVA Burgundy Tasting; 3/19/2024-3/20/2024 (Beaune): Walkaround tasting with producers. Ripe and fleshy, this is powerful with good weight. I'd give this a year to soften, but then drink young while it retains its rich fruit.

Howard Ripley '22 Burgundy: Pear and spice, quite a bright interpretation of the village. A vertical and energetic character with the oak dialled right back. Yellow pear and green apple on the palate with zippy, sharp acidity and a medium body. Not the round, smooth archetype at all. Quite invigorating even if it's not what I expected.

Early barrel sample tasted at property. Nice ripe tropical fruit with a buttery undertone. Very balanced again just the right level of acidity adding fresh without it being tart.
Another impressive showing. Anticipated score 92-93+.

Trinquée de Meursault - Grands Jours de Bourgogne (Tonnellerie Damy - Meursault): Walkaround tasting with producers. Rich while nicely bright, this is very approachable but showing good weight and energy that will keep it vibrant for many years.

Tasted a second time 9 months on, this time as a bottled barrel sample tasted at the BB&R Singapore Burgundy 2022 EP tasting.
Similar to previous note. Anticipated score 91-93.
