April 16, 2024 - Night of Dujac (will hopefully update note)
February 18, 2024 - Came too late into the dinner that I did not get enough volume for tasting note and already drank too much
October 12, 2023 - Jim & Michelene's 40th Anniversary Dinner (Jim and Michelene's Place, St. Paul, MN): Medium dark red color. PNP, drank a glass over 90 minutes. Well this was quite a bit different from bottles a number of years ago, 2017 and 2015 specifically. This bottle for me was particularly herbaceous with a deep green streak that made it feel more youthful, but perhaps that perception was not reality. I'm not sure. There seemed to be lots of ripe fruit, a mix of tart raspberry more on the nose and pure cherry on the palate, texturally velvety, as Siggy noted lots of Nori notes too with stone minerality. This was showing notable vanilla on the palate and it was pretty full on powerful. If I'd never had this before, my impression was that this was younger than it is, but those other bottles didn't leave that impression. 91(+?)pts.
October 22, 2022 - Pretty, elegant, with mostly fading fruit, but it is still hanging on. Earthy and floral and a joy to drink.
September 18, 2022 - More flamboyant, prettier and more elegant than the clos st denis. Beautiful juicy and drinking now. Not sure if this will hold together though.
May 17, 2022 - Very light and translucent in color with some bricking, several folks guessed Truchot in a blind tasting, Ready to drink, in fact, drink up.
October 5, 2021 - My last btl on a great evening in at the legendary & "still bringing it", Dell Bar in the WI Dells. Originally, Jimmy's Dell Bar in the 50s/60s/70s. Ate here as kid with my mom & dad. Great memories. PnP on arrival in Burg glasses. Started drinking an hour later after apps with a Bollinger SC. Translucent crimson red with bricking. This is in a state of complete serenity. Resolved, placid burgundy heaven! Pervasive sniffs of sous bois & roses. Sips are lacy, ethereal, refined, classy and seamless. Tertiary earth, forest floor, mineral, mushroom and fading red fruit slowly reverberate in the mouth. This has arrived, delivering burgundy bliss! Perfect tonight with roast brick chicken. 13% alc I don't see this improving. Don't miss the performance before they close the curtain. Drink em if you got em. Loved this graceful soulful glass of Burgundy. Sort of reminds me of 25yr old Lopez Heredia Bosconia Gran Reserva.
August 7, 2021 - 2007 that gave the 2009 and 2010 a run for their money. Very surprised but hey it is what is in the bottle. The most pale in color of the 4 vintages. Close to get settled in on its plateau. Seemed very open and did not need any coercing to provide its beautiful fresh flavors of roses, under brush but the least spice of the group. My co favorite with the 2009
July 14, 2021 - A Good Tuesday, Vol. V: '10 LdH Rosado, '20 D&R, '07 Dujac, '00 Hudelot, '93 & '01Sandrone (Aria): So very Dujac-y! Nose is full-on stemmy, sous bois, cherry, earth, tea and more. Spicy, seductive, sinewy. A modern polish, with Burgundian sensibilities. Acidity in harmony with fruit and earth tones. Terrific balance. Drinking very well. A gem of a wine.
