  March 26, 2024 - Boston Wine & Poker, Brookline, NH: Tasted blind. I thought this was delicious. Older. Very complete Pinot Noir, with a little edge, slight tannin, medium acidity. From Philip's cellar.

  November 14, 2021 - Lovely Volnay, showy, deep and satisfying. Wide open, revealing lots of spicy earthy fruit - and even more after a few hours open. Palate more on the earthy spicy-laden side, but with good length and satisfying energetic balance. Very good now and will be good for quite some time.

  May 20, 2020 - This did not disappoint.Soft and deep, classic profile and an over achieving bottle from what turned out to be a great vintage. I suspect this is at peak but solid bottles should continue to drink well for at least 3+ years

  February 11, 2019 - Elected to not decant; left open for 3 hours. Deep garnet color. Gorgeous nose featuring red fruit/berries, licorice, floral notes and forest floor. Broad medium weight fruit with silky persistence, lightly substantial tannins and mineral acid. Great match for lobster with peas and herbs risotto. Harmonious now but with years to go.

  November 9, 2018 - On the nose, moss, dark fruited for Volnay, with some spice and cola. Full bodied for pinot, broad shouldered and structured and with a meatiness to it. Still quite youthful on the palate with ripe fruit, more cola, pomegranate, moss, iron, some mace, and cooler herbal notes. This is broad stroked with a chewiness to the fruit. If you told me this was a 4-5 year old less extracted new world pinot, I would believe you. Well made and pleasurable, but not what I was expecting. Very enjoyable nonetheless.
