  October 20, 2022 - Confrerie dinner at Dempsey cookhouse.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with expressive aromas of pretty red cherries, red licorice, elegant candied earth. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), soft mdium tannins, medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet red cherries, red licorice, lots of sweet spices, touch of sweet herbs. Long sweetish pretty finish.
  Very good quality. Usual G Lignier high toned red fruit elegant style that I highly appreciate, though I see why the sweetish notes here might irritate some people. Perhaps in need of a bit more age to tone it down a notch.

  September 12, 2021 - Perhaps a storage issue with this bottle prior to me recently purchasing it, as this showed Brownish robe and was well into secondary flavors. But it was wonderful. Each sip had me pausing and reflecting on how good it was. Great dark fruits, some minerality, great long finish, very soft tannins.

  November 6, 2020 - White burgs at Wu's.: White burgs at Wu's. My red blind. It's not remotely fair to serve this next to a 2012 Rousseau CdlR, but this is an excellent bottle of wine on its own, if quite different. This is all lithe red fruit and considerably less structure, very fragrant with strawberry notes. Most guesses were Chambolle, and it really does drink like a less precise version of Mugnier. It probably drinks a touch older than 2012, but it's delicious now. Since 2012 Georges Lignier has been making really nice wines and given the holdings is a really underrated address.

  March 29, 2020 - Cherry, strawberry, ripe raspberry, pine underbrush, mild sous bois; somewhat young, a little diffuse, rich, with depth, somewhat monolithic, but well-structured with good long finish
