July 19, 2020 - Red and blue fruit, higher density as the Mugneret Feusselottes wine of the same year drank side by side, salty, very good.
January 25, 2019 - Slight reduction, after aeration there is mainly red but also blue and black fruit, on the palate red fruit (raspberries), spices, herbal notes, incredible density and dry extract for a 2008 Burgundy. Wow!
July 23, 2016 - Fruit driven (relative to the 2011). Peppery spices at the end.
January 17, 2015 - I haven't been having a ton of luck with Tremblay's 2008s lately. The one common thread between them was the incredible sulphur notes on the nose. Give these air, or don't open them. Incredibly reductive at this point.
January 17, 2015 - An excessibe [sic] balla [sic] afternoon at Domaine (Chicago, IL): This was a real interesting one. The nose was stemmy and there was a big whiff of oak, but in counterpoint to all that was some very pretty red fruit. The palate also had quite a bit of oak on it, but this was somehow very well-balanced at the same time. Quite good, but needs some time to smooth out the rough edges.
March 5, 2012 - Delicate nose with a lot of freshness, floral and fruity at the same time. Whole clusters? Mouthfeel is fresh and a little sour, great tanins and feminine elegance. Still needs some time, we'll revisit in 2-3 years.
November 12, 2011 - Another Saturday at Knightsbridge - mostly blind (Northbrook, IL): Tasted double blind. Floral start with raspberry and red cherry, accompanied with great cloves and anise. Same lacy red fruit on the palate, incredibly charming, but with power and great textures sneaking through from middle to finish. Long, elegant finish. Give this 2-3 years for everything to come together, then drink for the next decade+.
