  Another Wine gathering at RJ’s; 4/4/2024-4/7/2024 (Palmetto Bluff, South Carolina): Served blind. Slightly rustic color. Fully mature Burgundian nose displaying shy mature red fruit, a hint of cherry and strawberry, sweet spices and earth. There is a hint of oxidative note. Medium concentration, shy red fruit, lean and cool, bright acidity, earth mineral and a medium long finish with oxidative end. It is not terribly complex. My guess is a 1er cru mid tier burgundy from the late 80s.

  Firmly NGMI territory. Fuzzed out, short and nondescript. (1744/12257)

  I admit that I do not drink wine from DRC very often so I must have some bias here. That said, I find this wonderful and compelling. There is harmony, weighty weightlessness, exotic spices, tangerine peel, and a forcefulness that says, “pay attention." But it’s not precious. There is a depth that lures me in and a texture that just sings. Not the greatest bottle of wine I have ever had but boy is it memorable to me. (96)

  The wine has no faults, but is just a realistic expression of a somewhat joyless vintage. Muted and introvert. With time a few glimpses of DRC magic, but certainly not a DRC vintage to buy also looking at my limited other experience.

  This bottle was opened and decanted for almost 4-5 hours and still it barely budged. This was still quite closed and while the tannins were present they were fine. I won’t think about drinking this for another decade. Seemed a lot more closed than the 99 we drank a couple months ago.
