November 17, 2023 - Winetasting Burgundy vintages 2002 and 2005 (13 bottles): This half blind tasting focused on "middle class" Burgundy mainly from 2002 and 2005. Overall conclusion: All vintages are still performing well. Vintage 2002 is charming, easy to drink, still good concentration, rounded tannins. 2005 is dark, has more alcohol, higher tannins, more acidity, very good balance.
This wine: The tasting's outsider. Medium tawny(!) color. Still lots of aromas but tertiary: Farmyard, prune, leather, tobacco but also a little strawberry. On the palate: High acidity, tannins, alcohol, full body, medium+ intensity and long finish. Much too much farmyard for me (too old) - rating based on my personal taste. -

March 12, 2022 - After two bad bottles in 2015 we came across this lovely magnum that we had to try.
The wine needs decanting as there is a lot of fine sediment and one definitely needs to take care here. The cork in our case was brittle and needed a bit of care. The wine though was very much alive and handle well the 2 hr double decant. We did worry if it would be fragile to handle it but it handled it very well. The wine is pretty and well evolved, with earthy notes, good fruit and a touch an iron feel. Lacks magic though and only scores a solid 91 from us.1 person found this helpful Comment -
