March 14, 2017 - Ripe and muscular, lack focus. Not showing terroir.
February 22, 2013 - Dubi dubi duu. Superdejlig vin! Dybe farve i glasset virker fortættet og slet ikke ikke som en Bourgogne. Dejlig varm og fyldig smag - bær med toner af skovjordbær ... intens. Moden og levende dejlig vin. Med nybagt brød.
July 26, 2012 - Den dybe farve i glasset virker ikke som en Bourgogne. Varm fyldig smag - bær med toner af skovjordbær ... Intens. Moden og levende dejlig vin. Ikke typisk Bougrogne - skønt at der eksperimenterer i de klassiske distrikter.
August 27, 2011 - Lots of primary red fruit showing. Not much complexity at this stage, but this wine has a lot of highly extracted fruit. Not you typical GC.
February 1, 2011 - Ripe, attractive fruit (raspberry and plum); the hot vintage is evident and it lacks the raciness of a really fine Burgundy. However, it is much better than most of the 2004s we have had, and really quite enjoyable.
January 10, 2010 - Burgundy and pinot noir (Wink Wine Bar): Some thought this wine too fruit forward and a bit hot; others thought it "gorgeous, a perfect expression of modern Burgundy." Still others thought it juicy and low acid, with no sense of terroir. Some of these comments are due to the vintage, 2003, which had record heat and lots of variation amongst producers. Some initial thoughts on this vintage were that producers were rewarded further down the slope (less dry), so that village and premier cru wines might fare better than the grand crus and hilltop vineyards. But many 2003 burgundies have developed much sooner and with moe complexity than anticipated, and many currently outshine the 2002's. That said, this 2003 Clos St. Jacques seems a quintessential 2003 premier cru: "oak, sweet cherry fruit, low acid, not much mid-palate, juicy plum, strawberry, an unctuous glycerin mouthfeel, soft and sweet tannins, balanced, needs food, not sophisticated or elegant, delicious fruit, a fine finish........." So this wine seems more expressive of the vintage than the vineyard. Grand youth.
November 17, 2009 - Soft, ripe fruit, with reasonable intensity; not the raciness of a really fine Burgundy, but otherwise a most enjoyable example.
July 22, 2009 - Deep colour for a Burgundy; rather hot, almost stewed fruit, but not unpleasant: strawberries with a touch of beetroot, quite intense and slightly sweet. Ripe, rich and vigorous. Untypical Burgundy, but enjoyable.
January 3, 2009 - Beautiful classic pinot. Open 3-4 hours. Dark, blackish, classic fruit. beautiful nose of black pinot fruit suffused with earth. Moderate length. Classy, old world pinot. Lovely. Still somewhat tannic. Only better from here...
July 29, 2008 - This is showing signs of maturity, with a slight brown tinge and flavours of plums and blackberries; soft and Pomerol-like; good intensity but lacking a little definition and structure.
