  While I really like 95 Claude Dugat, this particular bottle is rather muted tonight. The palate is lighter than what it is supposed to be like.

  Sommelier Appreciation Dinner 2020 (The Brown Residence): Explosive hedonistic nose displaying concentrated red fruit, very meaty, sous bois, caramel, sautéed cep and earth. Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of concentrated decadent red fruit, rich yet nicely detailed and precise, perfect amount of acidity, earthy mineral and a long concentrated red fruit driven finish with lingering sweetness at the end. This used to be more expensive than La Tache as it was rated like 99 by TWA. The young sommeliers were not familiar with the domaine and seem to love it. Apparently John Gilman rated the wine 72 points. Now that is funny.

  Slow oxed for 90 mins before serving. Nose was enticing and deep with herbs, spice, wild berries, earth, menthol and ginger flower. Palate kept picking up weight and complexity throughout a 3 hour dinner with dusty tannins. Very deep and complex, much more so than the 07 Rousseau Beze. It was still a baby but the potential was undeniable. If you only have one bottle, give it a try in 8-10 years. 97 potential.

  Tasted blind, this wine had a deep red/purple center with red rims. The high intensity nose of black cherries, sandalwood, clove and red dust was impressive.
  
  In the mouth, this seemed almost too ripe and rich to be an old world pinot. However, despite its weight and size, it had incredible balance and length. My guess is this will become more traditionally Burgundian, and notably more nuanced, with 10-20 more years of bottle age.
  
  While certainly impressive now, in a new world sort of way, I would expect this wine to add a point or two with extended bottle age.

  Just a knockout nose of black cherries, licorice and rosemary. the palate was pure silk, but so stacked and layered, you literally had stimulus overload from the complexity of black fruits, squab, roasted duck to perfection, expresso bean and clove. Explosive and so long, this wine dances for over a minute letting the perfect balance of fruit, tannin and acidity do the talking. Finishes with a surge, just baffling. this is akin to drinking a wild fantasy - you probably only get one chance but wow is it out of this world.
