Today was my 50th birthday but I really celebrated my 50th with my Burg group this past weekend. Tonight some from the group got together for a more casual, relaxed dinner, mostly because our friend Peter Wasserman was in town.
Very tired.

Rich aromas of apple and pear with a slightly sweet, spiced character. Great textures, great energy from start-to-finish. Pops on finish. Very impressive for its level.

Lots of sulfur, never really blew off, impossible to enjoy.

Robust ripe apple aromas, good spice, slight tropical fruit hints. Very fresh and vibrant on palate, showing apple and pear with clove and allspice. Great minerality from middle to finish.

Very advanced and marginally enjoyable. Better than another bottle from earlier this year that was totally uninteresting and seemed heat damaged. Both were from the same source.

Very fresh and energetic. Good apple and pear coming through on nose and palate. Moderate length and finesse. Good now.

Best to describe this wine as consistently inconsistent, and this bottle was in the middle of my recent experiences. Good density and concentration, just older than it should be at this point in its evolution.

Slightly floral, very ripe fruit, showing apple and peach with some roasted walnuts and toasted brioche. Similarly lush and powerful on palate, very charming and most likely at its peak over the next 4-5 years.

Way too much brett, making this basically undrinkable.

Lots of fresh red cherry aromas and flavors, modest hints of baking spice. Short finish, slightly simple, this has some earthy character already starting to emerge. A Brulees to enjoy young.

Charming red fruit aromas equally balanced with earthy elements and good brown baking spice. Some barnyard hints. Similar on palate. Moderate length. At its peak now.

Mature red and black cherry aromas, slightly more red on palate. Some delicate mushroom character equally prominent. easy to enjoy but lighter styled and simple.

Interesting array of cherry aromas and flavors. Forward fruit combines well with mushroom elements starting to emerge. Good spice, more on nose than palate. In its peak drinking window.

Seemed like something was fundamentally wrong with this wine. Terrible, undrinkable.

Mostly red cherry with strawberry with slight spice in background. Simple from very accessible and enjoyable now. Gives good Vosne character.

I don't think I have ever had this wine before. A very good example of how successful 2000s are performing today. Accessible, soft and showing a good balance of red fruit and mushroom character. Just moderately spiced, this didn't come across as classically "Malconsorts" to me, but still easy to enjoy in its peak drinking window today.

Lots of red cherry with some raspberry hints. Massive, enticing spice on nose and palate. Long, lean and expanding into finish. An exciting wine today that will continue to improve with more time in the cellar. I'm glad I have 3 or 4 bottles stashed away.

Lush and powerful with plenty of red and black cherry aromas and flavors. Dense, firm and somewhat backward for right now, this will need some quiet time in the cellar over the next 15+ years to really show Vosne charm and Malconsorts character.

Very ripe fruit aromas that comes across as very fresh for its age. Also lush and concentrated on palate, also still fresh. Drinking very well, held up nicely in glass.
