October 19, 2019 - Casual (Mostly) Burg Dinner with Friends (Chloe - Washington DC): Tasted double blind alongside the 2001, knowing it was a vertical. I thought it Gevrey 1er Cru. Complex araay of black and red cherry with earth and roasted meat. Good weight, better concentration, particularly in the middle, then finishing slightly softer. I haven't had this wine since a 2010 dinner with proprietor Benoit Germain, shortly before his death.

April 1, 2016 - Red fruit (cherry), some spice, strong tannins, good acidity. Good but probably needs more time. Drying finish. Strong minerality. Good lingering finish. Needs lots of air.

2/5/2003 (link)(Chateau de Chorey Beaune "Les Cras") Rich, ripe and very extracted with palate staining length. Never heard of this producer but was very impressed with the quality and fair prices.
