This started pretty closed and surprisingly thin for a grand cru. A bit tart. With a couple hours of air it opened up and some deeper brambly fruit emerged. Given that this isn't Domaine, I'm not sure this will ever become grand. But I think it will improve with another 5-10 years.

Appeared to be a negoce bottling given no "domaine" marking within the label border. Rather simple showing at this stage, and reasonably approachable, but showing mostly just a core of black cherry fruit with a bit of polish, making for a clean, ripe Pinot but missing that Gevrey meat spice complexity at this stage. Upside from here, even for the negoce juice, I would guess.

Dinner at Hermosa (Chicago, IL): Nice, but probably in a bit of a weird spot right now where more of the structure shows than anything else. The fruit here is obfuscated by more oak than I would expect from Jadot. What fruit I could pick out was definitely quite ripe though. Can only imagine upside from here.

The Verticals Tasting at 2023 La Paulée (Eventi Hotel, New York): Pale red. Some brett. Light to medium body. Earth first, then dark red fruit, and a dry, tannic finish. This does not have the charm or balance of the 2015.
