July 21, 2020 - Beautiful vosne spices and barnyard. Really love the nose. Well integrated Tannins. Drinking from now.
June 26, 2020 - 2001 (and circa) Burgundy (Jason's Roof): Blind 2 of 7. Cherry on the nose, with a lot of dark cherry on the palate (somewhere Rob P. is laughing). The finish is more tart than I'd expect from the nose and the tannins are still there, though they're fine and slightly chalky. The tannins led to Gevrey, though I struggled a lot with what to call this, while Burgundy, it lacks a sense of place. I've not had much older Dugat-Py, so this was interesting.
March 13, 2019 - Dark cherry with evergreen, showing some complexity with age but with a lot of youth left in it and a surprising degree of elegance.
February 2, 2017 - (Gastromé, Aarhus) No change since my last bottle a month ago. A real pleasure.
January 25, 2017 - Village-theme'd dinner at Royal Pavilion.
December 28, 2016 - Wow, what a surprise and pleasure. So straightforward and easy to like. Beautiful fruit and on the top right now. Enough acidity and very little tannin left. Not very complex and great depth. "just" a pleasure to enjoy. It went down quite fast and going to have my last bottle quite soon.
April 18, 2014 - Really enjoyed this wine, lighter weight but lots of flavor, the red and black fruits shared space with spice and a hint of leather, good followthrough, acids exist keeping things clean, tannins light, beautiful finish with that lovely note we all look for that makes you immediately want to take another sip. Very nice.
March 27, 2013 - nose - funk, dirt, turned earth, oaky berry
mouth - needs some air, i can see the allure - this is a ripe lush dark fruited wine with a remarkably clean body and very nice acidity. Still with considerable tannins.
Brass knuckles in a baseball mitt? I can see the winemaker's philosophy and would love to try some of the higher end bottlings. As it stands this is already too expensive.
March 28, 2010 - Aromatically - red rose, briary raspberry, wet stone, faint incesnce a complex and relatively complex aroma profile. On the palate a very young wine that needs another ten years to soften. Very nice color and density and good fine grain tannin but a very weighty wine. 93-94
