  January 29, 2014 - Lunch au QG
  Un nez résineux, terreux.
  La bouche est dense, tannique, un vin frais mais ferme et serré, avec des tanins secs en finale. Il a une bonne structure, mais me parait un brin végétal, manque de chair. Décevant. 86-87 pts

  January 18, 2014 - Earthy, matured nose. Modest fruit but ended with a wall of fine, drying tannins which may eventually outlast the fruit.

  November 29, 2013 - Closed nose of dark fruits. On the palate tight and lean, some sense of GMs and astringency on the finish. Hints at promise, but not sure if this will ever come around.

  January 13, 2013 - HM's Bruno Clair SLB 1er Cru La Dominode Vertical + Other Gems (Absinthe, Boat Quay): After a string of 2004s that were completely clean, this was a bit on the borderline, but a pretty good wine nonetheless. The nose was very earthy, very savoury, with undergrowth and bramble tones wrapped around sweet black cherry and gamy meat aromas, and then tons of wood spice - licorice root and anise at the fore – and a little touch of wet fur in there as well. A really masculine nose. Like the nose, the palate was also very spicy, almost brambly, with menthol and black peppercorns on the attack leading into a surprisingly clear, clean midpalate. There was obviously good quality on the fruit, but it all seemed a little buried at the moment, showing subtle tones of black cherries riding on a savoury, meaty background. The finish was especially tight, with firm, muscular tannins gripping the backpalate quite dramatically. Blind, I thought this must have been a 2005 Pommard. This was interesting, with some quality to it, but it needs years and years yet.

  November 13, 2012 - Deeper red than Chambolle "Veroilles", also slightly more full bodied, but still lean and green on palate, but drinkable. Drank from .375.
