  January 21, 2024 - BWC 23 - Lignier Clos de la Roche: Served after the 98, 00, and next to the 01. Like the others, decanted for an hour-plus before drinking. This was immediately and completely beautiful on the nose, really stunning. It's still fruit, nothing secondary, although the mineral aspect is there at a bass line. But the fruit is luminous and intense, but absolutely pure and without any gloss. Mostly dark fruits, perhaps a bit of rosemary or some kind of forest-y herbal note after another hour open. It's hard to pick out specific notes because the wine was so harmonious, and this is true also of the palate. The texture is all class, just silky and serene, and so pungently flavored, such density without weight. This is a knockout of a wine, at what seems to be the beginning of a good drinking window.

  January 20, 2024 - A fabulous bottle of this that needed a good 2-hours open to coalesce. The cherry perfume on the nose is intoxicating and the palate eventually reached the level of the nose showing perfectly ripe cherry fruit with excellent acidity and verve. Silky-fine and still quite youthful but drinking it now for the fabulous succulent fruit is no crime. The finish is taut and complex with superb notes of minerals and cherry spice. A complete Burgundy! 96+

  September 22, 2023 - Double-decanted this 3 hours prior to consumption which really helped the wine open up. Loads of lovely cherry fruit with superb vigor and freshness. So balanced and pure with wonderful red spice notes that kick in on the finish along with taut mineral notes. Fabulous Burgundy in the early stages of its drinking window.

  February 21, 2023 - A superb example of this great wine and to me showing lovely already with a great acidity and orange peel tang that keeps it really fresh and measured (especially side by side the 03). Others thought it needed more time I thoroughly enjoyed it today already but no doubt this is still on the up and could add another point or two.

  January 13, 2023 - Bourgogne 2002 horisontal Grand and 1. cru winetasting dinner (20 btls) (Nordsjaelland): Garnet color. Still fruity cherry, charred wood (too much oak). Impressive pronounced intensity. High acidity, medium tannins and long finish. Without doubt potential for further ageing
