  January 29, 2022 - very generously brought by the score whore, the wine was dark in color but mature rather than spent. needed to warm up to show. Get your white burgs out of the ice bucket guys!
  nose - butterscotch, honey
  mouth - rich, custard, honey, as it warmed it tasted to me like that swirl of butter and honey that i get on the top of my toast when i really spread it back and fro. good bottle but not superb. probably a mediocre qpr.

  June 4, 2021 - Dégustation Open Dreamer Style chez Simon B: Joli Corton-Charlemagne qui est sur la pente descendante mais qui offre encore beaucoup de plaisir. Un bouquet très riche d'arômes évolués tel le caramel, beurre fondu, noisettes, abricot séchés, vanille. La bouche est soyeuse et un peu molle signe que ses meilleurs années son derrière lui. Aurait bénificié de plus d'acidité et de tension mais une performance des plus respectables considérant son âge.

  April 11, 2021 - Nothing wrong with this but darker slightly nutty, aging ok, but slight bitter nutty aspect, could be fresher but is a 2002 after all. DD at Crustacean. One of the least favs of the lineup that was fault free. DD at Crustacean.

  December 13, 2020 - Faint orange color. Concentrated nose, almost sappy, compact. Rolls into zested lemon, orange fruit, grilled almonds, torched sugar with hints of peppermint. Within minutes developing into a full and complete rendering of creme brulee.
  
  Palate has some life with vanilla, honey, cream on the midpalate. The feeling of rich sweetness felt overpowering at times and deserves food to provide balance. I wish I could have also tasted this earlier in life, not out of disappointment for the experience I had, but to see the full arc of the wine's life.
  
  Lemon, orange zest/bitters or anise on the long, gripping finish. Marmalade, tangerine. For all the citrus notes acid was pretty low.
