  February 13, 2021 - This is ready to drink. I wouldn't hold it, but that's just me. Tasty but overpriced.

  August 8, 2020 - PnP and slow ox for an hour in Reidel Burg glasses & btl before dinner. Served in high 50s/low 60s. Semi translucent ruby red color. Flowers and light underbrush on the nose. Subtle cherry and raspberry, mineral, spice, herbs and meat on a very Volnay like palate. Still could resolve some backend tannins but, all in all, caressingly elegant. Nice energy for the vintage. Very persistent and at times mouth coating while at other points displaying a Volnay like linearity. A very intriguing terroir driven and transparent classy Burg. Happy to have one more that I'll let sit for 2-5yrs. 12.5% Alc. Pretty close to zero sediment 14yrs out.

  April 27, 2020 - Garnet, starting to brown a bit. Red fruit nose - cherry, strawberry, raspberry. Some smoked meat. A bit floral as well. Ripe red fruit on the palate - same raspberry, strawberry, cherry. Rather fleshy. sweet spices. Tannins could still use a bit of time to soften, but quite nice to drink now in any case. Good length. Quite complex. Very close to peak. Enjoyed this a lot and wish I had more.

  September 18, 2019 - A striking, translucent ruby red in the glass followed by a typically aromatic Pez nose. On the palate it is medium weight with enticing freshness and an array of complex flavours that leave you wanting to drink more than your doctor says you should. I would describe this wine as having real energy in the same way as a top Volnay has albeit without quite the power and complexity of something like de Montille's Taillepieds. I drank this alongside a de Montille 2006 Rugiens, which just about edged it, but not by much. I would say this sample is at it's peak and although there was no sign that it was on the downward slope I would be inclined to consume it over the next 2-3 years. Since freshness and energy are its hallmark and greatest attributes it would be a shame to miss out on them. Estimated maturity: Now - 2022
