  February 6, 2024 - Our last bottle of this 'lost cellar' wine, this opened consistently and with little evidence of age beyond previous bottles. There was a lovely scented nose of strawberry, redcurrant, red cherry, roses and game meats. This wine has a lovely mid-weight palate with a fine fruit character balanced by game, earth and stone touches providing elegance and shape. While the depth and intensity are properly those of an excellent village wine there remains a superb sense of place and complexity here that belies its age and appellation.

  March 14, 2019 - Burdgundy village wines from top producers (East Treasure, Clarke Quay, Singapore): A bit tired, but this improved in the glass. The nose was still very pleasant, with nice drifts of spice, earth, some meat, and the a waft sweet dried cherry aromas. Mature and attractive. The palate was unfortunately a touch leaned out though, with a thin layer of fruit gliding over more structural elements of firm-boned tannins and bright acidity. The finish had a bit of dusty earth and bittersweet herb pulling away with a bit of surprising length. Very 1995 I thought. Still pleasant enough a drink, but tired. Thankfully, it opened up quite nicely with time, putting a bit of weight. This would have been better a few years back yet.

This wine has a lovely mid-weight palate with fine fruit character balanced by game, earth and stone touches giving fine balance. This wine is in lovely shape, properly mature with character and balance. Just lovely with a particularly special nose.
