April 17, 2024 - From a magnum donated from the Dujac cellars. This was in terrific nick. A beautiful nose of red and black fruits, sandalwood and dried flowers. There is a wealth of fruit here, slowly emerging from behind the wine’s ample structure. It was a wine of exquisite perfume and still had plenty of grip from its tea leaf-like tannins.

February 1, 2024 - Muddled light ruby. Much stemmier, stalky aromatics than the ‘90 Ponsot. Elegant weight, beautifully fresh red fruit and spice, a touch of herbal brambliness, and structure provided more by acidity than tannin. Excellent and at or beyond its pinnacle.

September 23, 2023 - Quite smokey, dark cherry, sour raspberry. Darker notes some earthy undertones and leaves. Nice and deep with decent structure but not showing as much complexity as other outings.

September 4, 2023 - The final bottle from the case. Raspberry and underripe strawberry on the nose with a lovely tertiary warm spices and oak. So vibrant on palate showing raspberry, some ripe dark cherry adding some sweetness, touch of blackberry. Fanned open like a peacock feather with air showing all of its complexity. Really lovely and showing well.

February 3, 2023 - La Paulée de Singapour 2023: So much better than the first bottle I tried of this. Slightly musty forest floor, cedar, oak, tobacco, dark ripe fruit on nose.
Palate the above and a nice ferrous note on the long finish. Very balanced and light on the palate. Nice long finish showing the complexity, depth and layers on offer. Far better than the first bottle of this I had although still hard to pay so much for it knowing the cost!

12/1/2006 (link)(Dujac Clos de la Roche) (From Magnum) Medium, medium-plus ruby-red, and a little brighter than the 75cl bottle that I last opened. The nose takes time to get into it’s stride; starting with faint smoke and a slightly estery width, but there is an ever-sweetening and intensifying core of red fruit that eventually becomes more floral - though it’s a heavy rather than refined scent - impressive and moreish all the same. The slowly intensifying fruit on the nose is mirrored by the taste, always building in the mouth, just a transient petillance too. Good acidity and dry but not blocky tannin and long with a dark-fruit aspect to the finish. The stems don’t seem to engender the fresh purity of some wines, but the complexity is there for all to see. Very impressive.

3/1/2004 (link)(Dujac Clos de la Roche) Medium, medium-plus ruby core fading with amber, clear, but not glintingly so, so I double decanted leaving a fine sediment behind. The vacuvined last third of the bottle was no brighter on day two. The unusual nose started very earthy and smokey - perhaps green and stalky - but this left the scene to give up a raisined, dried cherry note after 30-40 minutes. The palate is reasonably fresh with furry tannins that are starting to wane. Not obviously fat, and the acidity's a little tart, but there's certainly an exceptional grand cru finish - compelling in complexity and length - smokey, sour cherry and cream. Tons of interest, but the wine just seems a little disjointed. The vacuvined 'third' was more joined-up on day two, seeming a fatter and more intense. If the wine had shown the same on day 2 as day 1 I would have been concerned about the future, in fact I still might open up another this time next year.
