December 21, 2023 - Nice but not up to expectations. From memory, it was on the lighter side, still young yet but plenty approachable.
July 7, 2023 - Not what I expected from d'Angerville.
A little green-ness, seems a little oxidized... wonder if it would open with a little more air or short decant.
Glad this was my last bottle of this vintage.
December 9, 2022 - More secondary and mature than I’d expect for the age. Still has some pleasant Pinot red berry and subtle spice. 90+
November 8, 2022 - Marquis d'Angerville Tasting and Lunch (Restaurant Fitzgerald *, Rotterdam, NL): A very wet vintage, saved by an indian summer with hint from the north. On the oxidative side but opens up with some oxygen, dead leaves, moss, delicate but structurally intact but quite tertiary, cold tea on the finish.
September 8, 2022 - Re-tasted. Light cherry run through by piercing acidity and framed in green notes. A hair better than the undrinkable bottle from this February. Not flawed. Not good either. I loved my Burgs and this is the biggest section of my cellar, but I can’t polish this turd. If this was a U. S. Pinot tasted like this I’d really torch it, but I’m always soft on these. 80
February 25, 2022 - The cork was sound. Color was burgundy. Light sediment. This tasted completely green. I'm not seeing it in the other notes. Perhaps flawed, but it didn't taste flawed per se. It tasted like a 2004 or a 2011 and 2008 was a lower solar vintage. I gave this two nights and my wife and I agreed it was unpalatable. Poured out. I won't score it. The variety of 2007s from this producer were fine, but Volnay did well in 2007. I'll be eager to try the next.
October 9, 2021 - Dark red fruit, touch of strawberry, earthy notes and cedar. Needed about an hour to come together on the palate, but then showed well with good mid palate and decent finish. Well integrated tannins, very fine. Slight bitter note on the finish.
February 15, 2021 - Tasted blind. Red fruit, cedar, and a hint of mint on the nose. Lots of acidity with quite integrated tannins adding structure. Fruit is quite muted (at least at first) with some tart strawberry flavors coming through. Medium finish. Overall, a good wine, but disappointing for this producer and pedigree.
October 25, 2020 - this wasn't an '05 burly burg, or an '06 bulky burg... but it certainly didn't have the elegance and poise of many of my '08's... decent fruit, decent structure, a little dark for my tastes... not a rebuy (I had only bought one)... I often prefer this producers Taillepieds over the Champans
October 15, 2020 - Imperial Paragon Wine Night + Promontory!: Red fruits, flowers, herbs and spices initially. However, brett somehow crept in after some airing and the bottle deteriorated. Some heat. Quite disappointed. Damaged bottle? 85
