  December 31, 2023 - 醒酒器一个半小时，中间做过换瓶，淡宝石红色，闻香是草莓糖，月季花香，烟熏质感，香气干净，很新鲜的感觉，入口酸度高，酒液咸，收口微甜，单宁非常细腻，口感和闻起来非常一致，细腻的红果，果梗和明显的草莓硬糖香气，酒的结构不大，表现非常宜饮，中后段没有太多展现，可以进一步醒酒。又过一个小时再试，还是没有发展出更多深度和复杂度，可能多少受制于年份，但是并不妨碍它的精致和讨喜，口感清澈，宛如新世界一般干净利落，又没有失去勃艮第的格调和优雅。

  June 24, 2022 - Musique & Vin Festival BYO Dinner (Château de Meursault): Late night, small glass, brief note. Red and black cherry with Asian five spice and good density. Rich start, ever-so-slightly bitter finish. Good weight. Probably further upside.

  June 9, 2022 - Bouquet was good but somehow there was some fizziness to the wine and the taste and finish was underwhelming. Perhaps just this bottle’s condition?

  August 19, 2021 - Bright red. Spicy nose, very vosne. The palate is silky, sweet and opulent, very suchots, with brambly dark fruits, and licorice. A little bit of gas remains on the tongue, which went off after 1 hour. The mouthfeel is silky and very velvety, soft, oak is very well integrated at this stage. Would not have guessed 2011. Mounting, yet gentle finish. Lacking a bit of verve for my taste, but very seductive. Would an earlier harvest bring more tension ? Very well made though, in an opulent style. On day 2 the wine became a little more structured. This is ready for business and I do not see any reason to hold the wine, but it can be kept for another 10 years so no rush... Suchots is the cote rotie of burgundy.
  
  One thing on Burghound notes. AM rated it 91 or 92, so it seems AM gives better notes when tension and minerality is present rather than opulent sweetness of fruit. Does AM underrates HN ? This bottle is tremendous for opulent wine lovers, but still very good for those who prefer more tension filled wines (I am in this last category).
  
  I would try this suchots with a lean and acidic dish, as the wine is quite sweet. Chicken grilled with olives and asparagus (or with a slightly acidic or bitter vegetable) would pair well with the opulent nature of the wine.
