Exceptionally pretty with all sorts of non fruit complexity floating around. Feels well delineated like a high resolution photo and everything is in focus. I'm not familiar with this producer but my lasting impression was stem inclusion and the previous notes seem to reflect that. Drink now.

A lovely, understated nose. More on the red fruited side of pinot, with roses and some moss/ undergrowth. Mid weighted and supple on the palate with fine lacy tannins. I like this a little more than the last bottles, and it seems to have settled into it's skin nicely. A lovely, graceful, soft, and supple wine with fine cashmere like texture. The finish is sneaky long with more mossy, floral, and basil tones. The stem inclusion is in fine form here. A very pretty wine drinking at peak. Lovely.

Lovely understated red fruit nose, pretty if not profound perfume, and with a mossy basil like herbal side. The stems are evident both on the nose and palate, and I'm not sure it would be terribly difficult to call the producer on this wine. This has nice lift and freshness. It's mid weighted, with fine texture with the stems playing well with with the lacy Chambolle fruit. Very well made, quite long, and drinking in a great spot right now. 90

This is really a nuanced nose on this wine. I find it difficult to describe, since I find words lacking in describing the complexity of the nose or flavours. This is the best I can do: the nose is a subtle mix of sous-bois, turmeric, wild forest strawberries (no English word for this). On taste nice wild strawberry fruit. The acid perfectly brings out the flavours. A long finish as well. For the negociant side of Dujac in 02 this is really well done. It is at a very nice point in its drinking window. Not many tertiary characteristics - so this is still young and will last quite a bit and my guess it will get better.

More complex than my original note - 02 is my favorite vintage. Fruit and nuance.
