  October 22, 2022 - This has a dark colour, a perfumed nose and a rather more open palate than previously (6 April 2020), with a good weight of naturally sweet fruit and a positive finish. Very good and may still improve.

  September 9, 2021 - This wine was delicious from barrel and delicious on release—then it fell asleep. There are no signs of age on the color; it seems to have put on weight in the bottle. With air, there are hints at a bright future, with dark and dry tannins, tart black cherry, baking spices (especially clove), and classic CdB steaminess. After a few hours a bit of blood orange peel and wild flowers emerge. Finish is long and acid is properly balanced. I have always been a fan of the stony minerality of this vineyard fruit; this bottle highlights it. I’ll bury remaining bottles and try to forget where they are located. Patience, lads and lasses.

  April 6, 2020 - This has a fairly deep colour and quite ripe dark cherry and bramble fruit, medium weight and some tannin still on the finish. This may well improve as the tannin subsides. Perhaps I should keep my remaining bottle for a few years.

  January 14, 2020 - Light to medium weight, well structured, even a little austere, with mature cherry/raspberry fruit, fresh acidity and a modest finish. This is keeping well.

  October 2, 2019 - Two bottles of the 2005 was enjoyed at a dinner party so no detailed notes were taken. From memory, the wine has a fresh medium-to-dark ruby red color in the glass. It was smooth, well-rounded and beautifully balanced. There were no signs of age. Absolutely an excellent Burgundy Premier Cru, from an outstanding vintage, that's in prime condition and can go on for quite a few years to come.
