February 11, 2024 - Good Burg value. Fred fruits earth and smoke. Fine acidity,with a med finish.
August 24, 2023 - Light garnet color with a glossy sheen. Earthy clay nose with a solvent lift, red fruits, embers and smoke. An excellent bouquet with much to enjoy.
The core of the palate is its acidity, dense but fine grained, and mouth drying tannins again super fine. The acidity and tannins carry the palate, but the finesse of both gives intensity with lightness. Fine and dry. Food accompaniment a must.
June 9, 2022 - Raspberry, cranberry, dark cherry with some forest floor on the medium nose. Palate shows a bit more acidity than I would expect at this age. More fruit, grilled mushroom and lavender hints toward the finish which was medium plus in length but on the dry side. Maybe 2026 will show softer.
May 4, 2022 - Ripe fruit aromas, acidic mulberry fruit on palate leading to an intense long finish of fruit, fine tannin and violets. Great wine. Be very interesting to see how it develops.
January 14, 2022 - 2019 Visit to Cromwell (Central Otago, NZ): Blair had these two Burgundies open (for 24 hours) that he served to us double blind. Piemontese tar, earth and black fruit on bouquet. Schist, damp black soil and wet iron. On palate, earthy, highly concentrated, very black fruited. I picked both wines as Cortons, but picked nothing more. As well as plenty of matière, structure and mid palate, the Jadot showed quite vibrant, assertive acidity. The wine seemed also a little worked, which should have pointed toward Jadot. Tannic – albeit fine grained tannins – and still quite closed. But overall a very good Corton, drinkable on the day (with this much oxygen a good idea) but really a Corton to drink beginning around 2025.
July 5, 2021 - OK but not great, magnum format, felt a tad shut down (which for the first time for this vintage, in the last 6 months, I've felt with a few of my 2010's be shut... are they going to sleep???)... anyway, a bit shut, not friendly and open, but didn't have say a brutish structure / blockishness (like maybe 2006 is showing now)... this still felt like '10 but just shut... hoping I won't open my next magnum for 10 years
June 19, 2021 - This was very primary, I would not say closed but the aromas were distinctively primary with notes of raspberry and some dark berries, especially for a wine of 10 years of age. The palate is balanced and the tannins are polished which gives this wine a very good outlook. I had great older bottles of this. If you own this, I suggest to wait at until 2025 if not 2030 before opening it.
April 27, 2021 - Rated more on potential. This is a LONG way from being ready. Wait, wait, wait! A six hour decant, then after an hour in glass started to show some promise.
November 10, 2020 - Rubin röd, fin doft, mörk frukt,rök,läder, kryddig, jord, viss bett i tanninerna men inget som stör, bra syra och välbalanserad, medellång eftersmak av primärfrukten, helt klart ung med större potential men god redan nu!
