  This was tasty from the time the cork was pulled. Black-fruited with some tomato-y flavors and a little hot, perhaps reflecting the vintage. But strongly mushroomy with some mild spice notes and pleasing bottle sweetness. Not extraordinary but a happy drink, this is ready and probably as good as it will ever be, for my taste. No sign of brett, either.

  Developed, with sweet maple-y strawberry fruit and mushroom, with gentle soy notes. A bit roasted per the vintage, with barely moderate concentration. Mature and resolved, I see no upside to holding this further. Did not decant, but this was best after several hours open. There were initially some metallic brett notes that mostly moved to the background as this opened up. Very tasty but a little disappointing for what it is.

  Really outstanding, but actually improved in the glass over several hours. I thought that this would be fully mature, but I think that it should actually wait another 3 years.

  Brought this to my wine tasting group featuring red Burgundies 2002 and older. Beautiful expression of elegance in this richly flavored lighter burgundy. Nose was ripe cherries and some strawberries and same fruit faded by time around the edges. Not so much dried as much as less ripe. An earthiness to the nose tethers the fruit and I tasted a rich roundness to the wine that was part sweet and part savory with a touch of schist wrapped in cherries. There was a yeast component somewhere between mid-palate and finish that was like tomato brioche. Beautiful flavors that were well integrated and segued smoothy to a long and light finish. The wine ended on a higher note from a flavor profile standpoint - I tasted optimism in the finish and I was ecstatic. I've had some disappointing vosne-romanees from the same vintage and it was gratifying to drink such a beautiful wine from this producer.
