  March 9, 2023 - A little shy to begin with, showing a glimpse of red fruits and some coffee development. It breathed up nicely, stacking on mid-palate pud. It had some light florals and a gentle meatiness. There was something cool and stony lurking and the finish was fine and minerally and very persistent.

  December 25, 2022 - Christmas Day 2022 (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Smells earthy with red over black berry fruit sweet spice leather and a touch of mushroom. Juicy, slightly sour red over black fruit, long but too light for the duck. Okay.

  August 26, 2022 - In contrast to my more recent experiences with this wine (which concluded with drink up by yesterday), this bottle was singing. I loved it. Fully mature to be sure, but lovely brambly fruit along with a bit of leather and hint of toffee. C still thought it was too acidic, but for me it was ideal with food.

  May 21, 2021 - Coravin fun - Burgundy & Bordeaux (KC's place): From Coravin. Sous bois, very slight dusty notes, baking spices, old black berry, leather, earth, with time the fruit gains weight. Surprisingly fruit sweet on the palate, a little raw silk rasp on the mid palate. Sous bois and leather join on the finish. Pleasant.

  April 16, 2021 - Two Fourriers side-by-side: Both bottles well cellared since bought on release. Served double blind to friends. Most tasters picked the 2002 as a red Burgundy, with most guessing later vintages (2004, 2007 or 2008, with someone suggesting 1999). Fading garnet colour. Gorgeous mature pinot bouquet. Perfumes of dry brushwood, red rose, dried herbs, red cherries and some strawberries, with touches of preserved red fruit. On palate, poignant, evolved and fragile, tottering on the edge of extinction, near the end of its drinking plateau. Fully resolved. The fruit just beginning to slip. Acids prominent with succulent, crystalline fresh and preserved red cherries and berries. About half of the tasters preferred each of the two wines. My preferred wine. Drink soon.
