  September 6, 2020 - Very candied dark fruits and a lot of fresh new oak. Drinks more like a New World pinot. Needs much more time, but don't think it will ever be my style of wine.

  July 23, 2020 - Outside and socially distanced, blind wine tasting of young burgundy 375s for a future Chevalier dinner. Wines and comparative notes as follows:
  
  2017 Mongeard-Mugneret Vosne-Romanee: Not much of a nose and very strong tannins - so strong that it finished at a screechy halt on the palate. It's a burley wine - almost like a young Bordeaux. Didn't taste like Burgundy. 87
  
  2017 Mongeard-Mugneret Vosne-Romanee 1er Cur Les Orveaux: Strong notes of mineral and red fruit throughout vertical. Notably superior to the village wine. 91
  
  2016 Domaine Hervé Sigaut Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Sentiers Vieilles Vignes: Very respectable wine. A nose of red fruit, floral and mineral with a touch of smoke. This held up through the entire vertical. Tasty wine, but outclassed by the Esmonins. 91
  
  2016 2016 Domaine Hervé Sigaut Morey St. Dennis 1er Cru Les Millandes: This wine has strong notes of cherry and mineral throughout the entire vertical. Reminded me of a young NSG. 91
  
  2017/2018 Frederic Esmonin Ruchottes-Chambertin: These wines were very similar and I picked them both as from somewhere in Chambertin. Surprisingly complex nose of fruit, smoke, mineral, wood for such young wines. I really enjoyed them both, with a nod to the 2017 which had more complexity and more flavor. The 2017 was the winner on the night, and I personally liked the 2017 so much that I bought a case. 2017 = 93; 2018 = 92
