February 19, 2024 - Monday hangout at Domaine (Chicago, IL): Served double blind. Clearly red Burgundy, but I thought it was maybe a decade or so older (2001?). High acidity and some delicate red fruit, with a grainy earthiness to its tannins. I didn't really pick up the spice here, so missed the Dujac call. Whoops.
February 13, 2024 - Dujac through and through. Excellent bouquet with some strawberries, red berries fruit basket, roses, spicy mint. On the palate, it's mineral and has that orange bitter finish which may come across as a touch thin and edgy. Nose > palate for me today, and mightily enjoyable for a bottle of this level.
January 1, 2024 - Good but lacking in any concentration, possibly an advanced bottle
December 26, 2023 - Parfum, finesse et équilibre sans jamais être facile grâce à la structure du millésime, l'un de mes favoris chez Dujac... impatient de goûter Aux Malconsorts. 91-92
December 15, 2023 - Burgundy village theme: My contribution. Most guessed ‘07/08 Chambolle. Pretty floral nose, but a little thin and dilute on the palate. Some delicate red fruit emerged with air but not sure if this will put on weight with more bottle age.
July 21, 2023 - Opened up reluctantly - initially some earthiness. Turned into a delicious, juicy, MSD leaning to the Chambolle side
April 7, 2023 - Advanced colour shows maturity; evocative nose, sous bois & briary, soft red fruits; palate has a velvety texture, with a dry earthy edge, easy going acidity, mid-weight; (later) tetchy finish (ameliorated by pigeon). Best drunk soon.
March 31, 2023 - It breathed up beautifully in a larger bowled glass to show notes of blueberry, cherry, musk and violets. It was supremely silky, with fine, minerally bones. The finish was fresh with some mild spice. Beautifully proportioned and balance.
February 13, 2023 - Dinner with the wine group (Zazie's, San Francisco): Exceptional nose, stemmy, spices, a bit darker fruit; medium bodied, high acidity, plummy and deeper fruit, superb balance, tons of spice and character; medium-long finish. Very nice! 91+
January 23, 2022 - Sadly corked 😢
