  January 5, 2017 - Holiday dinner organized by Ken Brown with many great wines! (Ripple Restaurant in Washington D.C.): Many of us were left rather perplexed by this bottle. It was not corked but it was not optimal either. Very high toned, almost acidulated. Perhaps I should have given it more time in glass, but too many participants said that the bottle was not optimal and so I kind of gave up on it. A pity, because Truchot is better than this as I discovered from a marvelous tasting at the home of Howard Cooper a couple of years ago.

  July 14, 2011 - Bastille Day Dinner (Lavandou, Washington, DC): Started off with a very funky nose (that i loved) with some radish tones. After about 45 minutes sitting in my glass, the radish-driven spiciness gave way to very lithe red fruit, some mushroom earthiness, and a clove spice. What I'm learning about the Clos Sorbes bottling by Truchot is that the palate is uniquely characterized by a dry-aged beef meatiness. In contrast to say, a northern rhone syrah that has a meaty core of bacon and blood...this is funkier, but still meaty. I believe David Schildknecht characterized this as a "brothy" flavor - which I think it on point. I wish I could have had another couple of hours with this as it showed best just as desert was being served. Lovely wine, that I think needs a couple hours of decanting at the moment to really open up.

  December 12, 2010 - Enjoyable but past it's prime. Somewhat cloudy and lightening, fruit is still apparent up front but fades fairly quickly at this point. Perfectly enjoyable with seared duck breasts with sauce of dried cherries, port and honey. Drink asap though!

  January 28, 2006 - A weekend of Jacky Truchot; 1/28/2006-1/29/2006 (Washington DC): Sandolwood and perfumes, raw meat, some allium. Light on the mouth, but gained weight over time. Elements of rust and frais de bois in the middle. Smooth finish, good weight. Lighter and softer than I'd expect a '99, but there is definite persistence lurking in there.
