TN: Dinner at Tiny Lou's: Decanted 30 min prior. Well developed and open for business. Classic Vosne spice notes and red fruit with good flesh and solid acidity. Vintage that's drinking well in the secondary stage.

good but drinks just a tad brutish (like a bunch of '08's lately -- unlike them in their youth)... perhaps time will help, flavors are there but smoke / darkness / big oomph which makes for a mouthful at this point

Really good. Classic Vosne spices. Drinks young but this is approachable now. Whole cluster is evident here and its a wonderful aspect to Dujac wines. This Beau Monts has more concentration vs the Charmes in the next glass and drinks like much better wine (at least today).

Allen Meadows / Fine Wine Experience VR 1er Cru tasting - Hong Kong Clean, nicely delineated example of Beaumont. Classy and delicate. Light fruit, lower acidity than other 2008 VR 1er Crus. Elegant. Not my preferred style, but a lovely drop nevertheless

(Dujac Vosne Romanee Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru) Dujac Dear Friends, Those of you who’ve followed the elevage of Dujac’s 2008 portfolio already know what I'm about to say: this is a world-beating set of wines that is probably the finest ever produced at this storied address. Across the board, the wines are at a level normally reserved for only a (small) handful of the most elite producers of Burgundy – including DRC and Leroy. The prices are high but compared to the current Bordeaux madness or other collectable Burgundy of this ilk, they are within reason (you’ll have to check pricing on the 2007s for many of these as they are so limited in 2008, no listings exist). It’s tough to pick favorites but a general rule is that you will not be disappointed with any of them: (Please note: magnums are available of most wines, they are slightly more than double the price of the 750mls - please inquire) 2008 Domaine Dujac Chambolle Musigny “Les Gruenchers” 1er - 2008 Domaine Dujac Gevrey-Chambertin “aux Combottes” 1er - 2008 Domaine Dujac “Charmes Chambertin” - 2008 Domaine Dujac “Clos de la Roche” - 2008 Domaine Dujac “Bonnes Mares” - 2008 Domaine Dujac “Clos Saint Denis” - 2008 Domaine Dujac “Chambertin” - 2008 Domaine Dujac “Romanee Saint Vivant” - 2008 Domaine Dujac “Echézeaux” - . 2008 Domaine Dujac Vosne Romanee “aux Malconsorts” 1er - 2008 Domaine Dujac Vosne Romanee “Les Beaux Monts” 1er - To order any of the above or to inquire about magnums: niki@garagistewine.com This parcel is set to depart the cave – it will arrive in the late summer (please check OARS for local pick up after Sept 1st).

The Verticals Tasting at 2023 La Paulée (Eventi Hotel, New York): Light red. Reticent aromas. Much stringier texture than the 2016. Soil and high acid outstrip the remaining fruit. Too thin and shrill. Not enjoyable.
