Plenty of rich orchard fruit with charming balance. Clearly showing the vintage’s ripeness, yet it easily stays balanced with enough acidity. Very good length.

I have not tasted this wine in three years, and like so many 2013s...wow!...where did all this great stuff come from?!? Layered and complex, with just a hint of sweetness in the background adding punch throughout.

From 375 ml bottle. Somewhat reduced, so never fully forthcoming, but clearly showing the most weight of the 06/13/14 mini vertical.

Fairly oxidized, sort of drinkable. Sad...this is a great wine when correct.

Clearly ripe with very good concentration. Still nicely fresh, just slightly less nuanced than I was hoping for this wine vs when tasted younger. Maybe more time will help bring out more?

This just snuck up on us. At first it seemed like too many pedestrian examples of Corton-Charlemagne, but it kept going... and going... and going. Plenty of orchard fruit in a charming old school style that needs attention to be fully appreciated. Wonderful now with further 93+ point upside.

I haven’t tasted this wine in 5 years and was unsure if it would ever shut down. Well...it has partly shut down. There is still so much here with intense concentration and depth, just more firm than I recall. Still a great wine in its early stages, I’m excited to see where this emerges when really ready, probably 2029 forward.

Enjoyable enough, but seemingly older and lacking Grand Cru density.

Ripe black and red cherry, with fully supportive structure. Everything is nicely balanced and harmonious, I’d just want slightly more depth, which is slightly surprising because when young I thought this might be a powerhouse that might have trouble fully resolving.

Slightly corked

Popped, decanted and poured after a handful of disappointing Cortons. This certainly did not disappoint. Black and red cherry with structure always in the near background. Meaty in a Gevrey fashion, and also clearly showing Grand Cru density. Showcasing 2002 vintage ripeness well, this also stays balanced and harmonious start-to-finish. Very good now. Probably my Wine of the Night.

Leftovers from several days earlier, this was almost just as enjoyable, perhaps just slightly less bright. Not ultra sweet, but so balanced and enjoyable with good+ length.
