April 6, 2023 - Red fruit, tannic, a certain sweetness. A typical 2008, pretty harsh and astringent.

December 2, 2022 - Quite closed after opening, needed some air. Red fruit, strong acidity, not a lot of charming elements, but a serious wine from a difficult vintage. Have another two bottles and do not expect a miraculous resurrection.

March 7, 2019 - Lunch & Tasting with Gregory Gouges (The Modern): The ‘08 Vaucrains was woodsy and fresh, showing red berries with hints of orange and lifting minerality. On the palate, I found sweet red berries on a zesty light-bodied frame, with hints of fresh herbs and inner florals, yet it came across as slightly one-dimensional. The finish was medium in length, both tart but also mouthwatering, as red berries and spiced florals lingered on the side palate.
