  October 21, 2023 - Wines while dining in Montreal; 10/18/2023-10/21/2023 (Montreal, QC): PnP. Wide open for business. Quintessentially Vosne and DRC with loads of black cherry, black tea, violets, stem spice and Asian spice throughout. Rich, velvety and delicious fruit that is non-stop. Young, but pleasure-packed already. I suspect the young vines help and allow this to show so well already.

  September 30, 2023 - I have heard varying things about this wine and the way it wears its oak treatment. I felt this bottle was in a very good spot pretty much right out of the bottle. High-toned, glossy red fruits. The wine is polished in all the characteristic DRC ways.
  
  With that being said, the wine does show the heat of the vintage and seem to lack the supporting structure / concentration of the older vines. Everyone is hugely excited for the Petit Monts, but back of the napkin math--to my mind--suggests a higher proportion of GC fruit in this cuvee beginning in 18 and 19 as ostensibly they would have been bottled together in the previous vintages?

  July 8, 2023 - Consumed during a late-night, post-wedding tasting at the fantastic Penny’s Wine Shop in Richmond, VA. Auspiciously bottle #804.
  
  A worrisome start as it was very muted out of the bottle. Decided to decant while we drank a 2012 Raveneau MdT, which was not impressive as it had been sitting (open) in the belly of a CRJ for 36 hours in July.
  
  With an hour in decanter, the wine totally transformed. Beautiful nose, powerful red fruit, spice, sous bois, everything you want in a red burg.
  
  Palate was incredibly concentrated and structured, young and meaty, but so incredibly vibrant, with the animalism that you really only get from DRC.
  
  A beautiful experience, substantially elevated by friends new and old with whom to share it. 95 / 100.

  June 17, 2023 - 04489/5918, third time is a charm. Incredibly meaty and concentrated, best of the three bottles yet. Blue and red fruit, cherry, all spice, pepper, game, smoky, pepper, cardamom, crushed peppercorn. So juicy with purity and precision of this legendary vintage. Mellow, silky, spicy. Perfect pairing with the pigeon like a mini Richebourg. 94-95

  May 12, 2023 - Deep transparent ruby, no rim variation
  On the nose, animal blood, blended with hawthorns, forest floor, faint rose
  On the palate, raspberry dominant
  Super super silky mouthfeel
  BEAUTIFUL, but very young for now
  Med++ finish
  Opened with old + new friends at Lazy Bear
  
  15mins in so much more sandalwood + rose and the animal blood blew off
  
  Overall it is most def an elegant wine for pure & full enjoyment, not to the level of transcendant, and totally would go for it again; but also there probably are more experiences out there for sure ;)
