  August 14, 2023 - Impeccable bottle at Noble Rot. Pristine label and pulled cork as if only 1 year old. Fresh as a daisy and tightly wound on opening, but quickly started to show well- first unwinding on the palate and then later, beautifully, on the nose. Lovely dark forest fruits, silken mouthfeel, a little sous bois, towards the end cigar box and black tea.
  Elegant, refined and expressive. Very enjoyable.

  December 15, 2015 - Rather tight nose of red cherry, camphor and minerals. Decidedly on the red fruited spectrum with some strawberry showing through as well. In the mouth also a bit tight with firm tannins but sweet and generous at the same time. Needs at least ten more years.

  February 1, 2013 - Light color with slight browning at edges. Cool, pinot nose with classic Burg stink, red fruit, grainy minerality, not sappy, tangy cherry, open and ready which is hard to find with Gouges. The best bottle of this I've had.

  January 25, 2012 - Colour very transparent with a cranberry with a slight browning at the edges. Beautiful earthy nose with hints of truffles. This again was definable on the the palate as well, and also some cherry-like acidity adding some freshness. Not much length on the palate, and tannins somewhat subdued. This bottle did not have much more life to it, which surprised me. But definitely a pleasure to drink.

  November 25, 2010 - Drank with our Thanksgiving meal. Beautiful translucent, rusty, reddish cranberry hue. Nice, full & earthy nose. Earthiness, truffles, sour cherry on the palate with the acidity you'd expect from a premier cru Brugundy. Decent length and firm tannins on the finish. Everything seems to be pretty well integrated right now but the firmness of the tannins leads me to believe that this wine still has some life left before its decline. Would like a little more fruit but this wine definitely has the class and essence of a premier cru Burgundy even though a little more tannic than most.
