Burgundy WIMPS 2022 (La Trompette, Chiswick): There is a cool blueberry coulis character to this wine with a little iodine but also a suggestion of TCA. Sadly with time this just doesn’t move on. Only a 1/10 taint but very persistant. Grrr lovely wine underneath.

1/2, very good cork. Medium garnet core, touch of mahogany, wide pale garnet/mahogany rim. Nose shows pure, noble red fruit, game, soil. Touch of mushroom. Palate is medium bodied, sweetly savoury, underlying pure red fruit, spice quite gamey, fully resolved tannins, fresh/vibrant acidity carrying a very good length harmonious finish. This is delicious and drinking really well.

1996 Jadot Horizontal (Chicago, IL): Negociant. It's absolutely clear that this was so much better than the CSD alongside. There's a lovely brown spice tone that dominates the nose here, and the fruit is silky on both the nose and palate (mind you, this isn't the Dujac stem spice). The fruit profile here is a nice mixture of red and black, and there is a lovely intensity here. Fully resolved, with generous acids, but no sharp edges and corners here.

2021 Jadotfest (La Trompette, London): Corked. Shame, a decade ago this was up there as the velvety twin of the silky Ponsot.

1996 Burgundy Retrospective - The Third Session (Clarity - Vienna, Virginia): Slightly corked. It appears that my last bottle in 2011 was corked too.
