January 18, 2024 - Decanted off its sediment and served. Youthful dark color. Eucalyptus, plum and boysenberry with underlying spice and herb elements. Drinking well, if on the young side.

May 15, 2022 - Decanted an hour before service. Still fairly dark in color with notes of plum, black currant, leather and something a bit floral. Medium-bodied. Plummy dark fruit with a lingering finish. None of the austerity of the previous bottle. Delightful.

October 17, 2021 - Second Sunday Group: 2002 Burgundies (R&D's): Double decanted off its sediment three hours before service. Plum, black fruit and chocolate aromas. The palate follows the bouquet. Medium tannins; slightly chalky and austere.

November 8, 2020 - No formal notes, but this is very enjoyable and still holding quite well. No rush, here.

October 13, 2019 - Similar to my last bottle in 2017, but with a bit more complexity. Still holding nicely, and retains the lighter body/higher acidity profile that Stefania normally provides and that I enjoy so much. Nicely structured and should drink well for another 3-5 years.
