June 5, 2022 - My last half bottle and drinking very well. Colour is still deep and vital. There's some undergrowth and coffee development. It still has a core of cherry fruit and nice floral perfumes. It is silky and layered, with decent mineral cut and excellent persistence.

November 4, 2021 - A rich wine, slowly entering maturity. Plenty of primary Pinit-fruit here, som hints of sous bois, impeccable balance in spite of the rich year. Can be drunk now if you like the fruit to be up front - or kept, if you are looking for something else.

November 17, 2020 - From half bottle, this was let down somewhat by the cork. It was deep and dense but the ethereal qualities of the wine were planed off by some nutty oxidation. At its core is luscious cherry fruit. It has some earthy development and is very long.

June 6, 2020 - We had a tasting 1991 - 1993 - 1999 - and the clear winner was 1991. 1999 was clearly different to 1991 and 1993 - and also the number three in our tasting - still a great wine - the fruit is still strawberries and cherries - but also clearly some spiciness in this - I think pepper - medium tannins and acidity - a good balance but can only give 92 here.

7/1/2004 (link)(Drouhin Joseph Beaune Clos des Mouches) Deep cherry red. A nose of spicy black fruit and already a little secondary development, some undergrowth too. Sweet with impressive concentration of spicy fruit and superbly covered velvetty tannins - very long and creamy too. Personally I'd prefer a little less spicyness, but this is a very, very good wine.
