March 20, 2023 - Clos des Epeneaux survey (Chicago, IL): Others at the table liked this more than I did. It was impressive for a 1997, so there's a handicap, but I found it ripe and quite fleshy, and appreciably missing the acidity that defined all the other wines at the table tonight (even the 2015, arguably). The fruit is clean and there are no mulchy notes to point out here, but this just didn't feel as precise as those other wines tonight. There's no denying that this wine was showing very well tonight, though.

September 5, 2020 - Deep red color. Aromas of black fruits, raw meat, mushroom and smoke. Ripe, nicely-structured fruit in the mouth with excellent depth and length and still ample ripe tannins. Powerful and complex on the palate. Impressively intact and fresh. This 23 year old wine actually took about a half an hour to fully open up. A truly great effort from the 1997 vintage!

8/1/2007 (link)(Comte Armand Pommard Clos des Epeneaux) (Magnum) The nose is more interesting than the the rather ‘harder’ and stand-offish stance this wine often shows; high-toned with plenty of dried fruits - more interesting that the standard 1997 ‘roasted’ fruits - plus freshness and depth. The palate is sweet with grainy tannin and is very long finishing. It’s clearly a very young, but surprised me in that there is more charachter here than I find in many vintages of this wine.
