October 5, 2022 - This was a last minute substitute for a wine to be taken to a tasting (the other was DOA upon opening). Deeply colored with paler outer edges; Vosne-like spices on the nose; open and elegant with some autumnal character just starting to emerge; went from pinched and a bit tough on opening to nice wine. Many years potential ahead.

February 15, 2021 - Great showing once again; truffle, minty spice, game/blood, sous bois firewood mixed with aging red cherry fruit; cherries aged in brandy. A bit of onion jam with whiffs of manure come out with air time. Great personality with this wine seen in almost every vintage, young or old. Serious stuff. Noble earthiness in the best possible way, as this wine has poise and refinement as well.

January 4, 2021 - Serious stuff! Second time tasting this beauty; spice box with mint, cedar chest, blood/game notes that become more pronounced with air time. This is starting to show the barest hints of forest wood and soil tones with iron-like minerality. Classic, with fresh acidity and firm but not rustic tannic structure. Very true to l’Enfant Jesus intensity and structure. No rush in drinking this but it certainly compelling now. 92-93.

3/1/2005 (link)(Bouchard Père et Fils Beaune Grèves Vigne de l’Enfant Jésus) Just slightly paler than the 2002. Surprisingly the nose goes a little deeper and there's a dark trace of oak. The wine's a little cold, but swirling will eventually coax out some red fruit. Soft as silk, fills the mouth admirably. Fresh, lovely acidity. Needs more time than the 2002 and for me has an extra purity. Lovely, I suppose I'll have to buy some of this too...
