Took a while to get back to this Solitaire from 2013. Last had a bottle in 2019 and had planned to finish this off soon after, glad I didn’t as it showing quite nicely today. Complex and supple with good weight and balance not great but very pleasant and nicely developed.

Showing decently but time to drink. Have one more left, marked for sometime this winter. Color quite vibrant, light garnet, nose correct but somewhat subdued, bit of tannin in the mid palate, tart exit. In retrospect not sure it was a value but it was not disappointing either.

Waited on this one and have mixed feelings on it’s progress. Acid has toned down to a very nice point, the tannins are mostly resolved except in the finish, but the fruit has faded a bit, and the varietal notes are muted, it still has spice and the finish is good. Probably should not of waited.

Monthly Tasting (Wine Wizards): Lovely!! Fruit, spice, and varietal character. Much more expressive than I expected out of a Bourgogne Rouge. In the mouth nice structure and balance with good weight and long linger. Quite nice and I am buying a bit for the cellar.

Unexpectedly expressive nose with relatively ripe fruit and earth. On the palate, this wine shows its youth with some tartness but it is not overbearing. This shows some real promise, however it tightened up after just a half an hour of air or so. I would wait on this one.
