  May 27, 2023 - One of the wines I purchased on release for my sons future birthdays. Some of the fruit is fading a bit. This bottle made it through 5 major hurricanes and 3 house moves so may be a bit more mature than other examples. Still bright fresh acidity deeper color than typical Dujac No browning at rim. Nose improved with air. Berry dried cherry and rose with a very small background note of earth. Consumed at restaurant Helen with appetizers.

  March 10, 2022 - Zachy's La Paulee 2022 (Le Bernardin Prive): Next to CSD. Similar acidity profile. Shyer nose but more class on the palate, linear, long and very mellow. 93-94

  July 4, 2021 - Sunday heaters (Chicago, IL): Expectations were tempered because of the vintage, but boy was I wrong on this one. This is a seriously successful iteration even without the qualifier "for the vintage." Classic Dujacky spice on the nose as well as whiffs of sweet (but drying) fruit and some classic Burgundian earthiness. Plenty spicy on the palate as well with a surprising freshness to the fruit here. No stewy, rotten, or otherwise off flavours here. This is totally clean -- I would never have pegged the vintage if served this blind. A fantastic bottle.

  March 20, 2021 - Tasted blind, this wine had a deep red/purple center with red rims. The medium+ intensity nose offered up plums, sour cherries, tan spices, and minerals.
  
  In the mouth, this wine was rich and ripe with light rounded tannin, light integrated acidity, and excellent length. It was quite intense and complex.
  
  This bottle exhibited all the great complexity that one expects from Dujac, given the awesome nose these wines have, but don't always get. Very impressive and should hold at this level for at least 10 years.

  December 25, 2020 - From a perfect bottle purchased on release, this wine had a red center with light red/orange rims. The high- intensity nose offered up rhubarb, sandalwood spice, black cherries, and minerals.
  
  I the mouth, the wine was light and lush with rounded tannin and firm acidity. It had a huge flavor impact but was still relatively weightless in the mouth. This was running in the 93 range in the second and third hours. It moved to the next level in hour 4.
  
  This may not please fans of heavy, rich wines. However, it was high-toned, attractive, and great with food. I doubt this will get better, so enjoy!
