  May 13, 2023 - And another total winner with this bottle, unfortunately it might be my last. This is in the zone from my perspective (I like my Burgs a little bit on the younger side when there is still some fruit there and the tertiary aromatics are kicking in.
  Super fresh, elegant, silky and layered. This is showing notes of sweet and sour red and dark berries, graphite, licorice, sweet spices, minty notes and also some notes of candied violets, there is also some fresh notes of white pepper. There are some sous-bois and notes of forest floor starting to develop. It‘s medium+ bodied, with excellent mid-palate persistence, has medium-high acidity and lower-medium tannin that has melted away since my last bottle. Excellent length. A suberb Volnay 1er Cru of the very highest level. It also shows the vintage‘s signature freshness and tension. I particularly love the silkiness you only get from aged Burgundies.

  January 17, 2023 - Certainly well-made with linearity and spices but just too taut at present to get a full benefit of that. Will not be opening another of these for at least two years.

  November 23, 2022 - Rose petals, musty forest floor and violets on the nose. Cherry and red fruit, medium but substantial weight, nice acidity and balance with fine tannins on the long finish.

  September 11, 2022 - Continues to be very tight at open. After a double decant starts to open up after an hour and continued to open up until it was gone 2 hours in. It did not last because it became a great companion to a roast chicken meal, lovely fruit, nice nose, savory palate, flower notes and some earth. This has years left, as others have said give it a lot of air and it is excellent now.
