September 1, 2023 - A lightly floral nose of sour cherry, raspberry and oak-inflected sandalwood, with touches of forest floor and chypre - pretty, but a bit muted. Polished tannins wrap a succulent and high-toned acidity, evidently well-made and very Volnay, but the fruit is somewhat lacking and the overall impression slightly austere. Over time, the tannins assert themselves. This may improve, but I’m not necessarily convinced.

April 1, 2023 - J’ai bu mes bouteilles trop vite car celle-ci est exceptionnelle! Le nez si expressif nous emmène en Chambolle ou en Volnay mais la bouche est volnaysienne, sur les cassis, avec une légère tension, d’une texture de finesse si soyeuse. Je pensais être sur un Clos du Château des Ducs plus vieux.

October 17, 2022 - Interestingly this was probably the most closed of the bottles I've had; I was under the impression that it wasn't going to shut down, but it definitely seemed tighter and more austere. The nose was still fairly open, but I suspect this will actually be better at 10-12 years than it is currently. Hold for now, though sadly I'm out of bottles...
