    September 15, 2023 - Ripe, tart black fruit. Good concentration, but on the firm/austere side, with lots of silky tannins that are nevertheless drying. Finishes with a long interplay of fruit and earth. Delicious and unusually ripe for the vintage, but if I owned more I would be worried that the fruit isn't going to outlast the tannins.

    Btw, it's remarkable how spot-on Meadows' note from 13 years ago is for this wine.

    May 31, 2022 - Mark Lipton isn't far off. Still a bit young, IMHO. Given the vintage, however, maybe not. I'd like the acidity to soften a bit, but possibly that's a forlorn hope in 2008. Quite intense, good flavors, depth. The very tiniest bit shrieky.

    January 15, 2022 - Similar to my last note, only better. More open and expressive, after spending about an hour in the glass (Coravin’d, so effectively PnP). Would’ve given this a 93 but the finish doesn’t linger quite as long as one would hope (there’s a hint of oak on the finish that’s actually a bit drying).

    November 14, 2021 - Second Sunday Group: 1990 Burgundies (Neil's): Deep ruby color with notes of cherry and earth with a subtle smoky undertone. Medium body. Loads of cherry and red pinot fruit on the palate, with earthy accents and a hint of spice in the finish. Still quite lovely, with plenty of life ahead. (PB)
