  December 6, 2022 - AK's birthday: Slightly overshadowed by the Leroy but this was superb for me as well. Remarkably youthful in terms of the nose and the bright ruby colour. The vanilla on the nose needs more time to integrate but again this wine had an incredibly silky texture. Someone more experienced said that despite the youthful appearance the tannins did show some development. Very charming wine with plenty left in the tank. Scoring this on the conservative side today but so much potential.

  May 16, 2014 - Dinner at RPM (RPM Italian - Chicago, IL): Delish! Young and a bit raw (as you'd expect a '99 Beaux Monts to be), but dang...the material here is gorgeous. Structure was the calling card here so don't open one of these expecting elegance, poise and charm. Lots of promise.

  May 16, 2014 - Dinner at RPM (Chicago, IL): Very young and light on its feet, with lots of ripe (but tart) red fruit on the nose. Lovely red cherry flavours but this feels like it's still in the process of shedding its youth... it'll need plenty of time to come around.

  May 14, 2010 - Not decanted. Purchased 6 bottles from a UK wine merchant about 3 years ago. My first bottle of this wine as I wanted to find out how it has aged
  
  Color: With a dark orange rim and dark ruby core, the color was showing its proper age of 10+ years, but still a lot more mature than my initial expectation as I found that many 1999 Vosne Romanee 1er crus tend to be extremely young looking
  
  Nose: Closed for business after 5 minutes in the glass. Initially the wine showed some concentrated cranberries (interesting) and rasberries, with a small hint of acid. The nose didn't begin to emerge again for at least 2.5 hours, when it showed restrained aromas of cherries and spice. Overall, the nose shows that this wine is far too young for consumption at this moment
  
  Palate: Very closed and tannic. Small hints of cherries and dark fruits. Very primary but I can definitely appreciate the finesse and balance this wine offers. Difficult to appreciate the wine fully at this stage but it will be interesting to open another bottle in 5 years time to see how it will develop
