February 17, 2023 - in a beautiful spot. vibrant and punchy - there has to be some whole cluster ferm going on. The balance is spot on and it has a resonant depth to it. Just a touch of medicinal cherry (that I tolerate), but other than that an excellent showing.

December 14, 2022 - This drank really well last night, and held its own in a side by side with a 2010 Bouchard Volnay

September 27, 2022 - Not showing obvious signs of age, but this 2010 McDougall was muted -- both on the nose and palate. A pleasant pinot noir, but not much more.

September 22, 2022 - Somewhat better with some aeration, but overall pretty faded and disappointing given that I took it to a lunch with some Pinot lovers.

July 10, 2022 - Kutch Verticals--Trout Gulch, McDougall and Falstaff: Vertical (non-blind) of McDougall, 2010 -2021. We did not taste the 2011 (no one owned it) nor 2014 and 2018 (stupid COVID forced the owners to have to miss the tasting) and the 2021 was a tank sample that Jamie pulled for us and shipped down for the tasting (being bottled next week so it's the final composition). I notice that I have had this many times now since release but that the most recent bottle didn't suit me. I kind of feel the same way here, although the bottle last night seemed fresher to me. It does have the astringency of the previous bottle, and is a touch peppery. The cherry fruit just seems a little old in tone and honestly I would rather drink the newer releases.
