September 2, 2021 - Epic Bordeaux for an Epic Birthday!; 9/1/2021-9/12/2021 (Paris & Bordeaux): Probably one of the best birth year wines I've had and I wouldn't have expected that since 81 is not the easiest year and few ppl suggest burgundy as a place to get wine from. Still, this is that lightness and precision that the best burgundys have. Drinking very well.

January 17, 2020 - Drunk at Castellana Hong Kong - Richebourg tasting - Mature but with acid still present. A very pleasant bottle of wine indeed albeit no longer showing much DRC typicity.

August 30, 2018 - A private DRC tasting (Waver, Ouder-Amstel, NL): Recently acquired, storage conditions unknown but probably mediocre at best. Bottle No. 004087 / 9.120. Level approximately 4 cm below the cork. Similar level as the previous bottle but fresher, lively and mineral, really crisp and still together, has line and length, remarkable.

Level approximately 4 cm below the cork. Sweet spices, mineral freshness, loses its expression quickly, but retains its structural integrity, quite peppery, lively and with good length.
