  Nice balanced wine. A little “thin” on the line of many burgundies. Would not use the words “dense” or “robust”

  June 10th notes apply. Such a beauty with 3-5 peak yrs ahead, easily.

  A completely different wine from bottle tasted in March, this one could've gone another 2-3 yrs no problem.

  Warmer vineyard site evident in this. Deep red fruit and soft baking spice, now leaning toward cedar and currants. Has put on some weight since last tasted. Advanced and on the edge of falling off the cliff. Back label indicates Pommard clone included with Dijon 114, 115, and 777. Didn't think Pommard was planted in Starr Vyd, but I could easily have that wrong! 2013 Amber Block (100% 115 from same vyd) is next.
  
  I hate reviewing wine on "Day 2" cuz it doesn't apply to us 99% of the time. A beautiful, mature thing on Day 2 with beautiful spice showing on velvety smooth currant fruit.

  Well integrated tanins, but needs some time to show it’s true character.
