9.2

2017 vintage. Last tasted 9.29.25 (9.2). Decanted and tasted after 45 minutes and 1.5 hours. Solid and starting to improve throughout the experience. Was medium-medium heavy body but starting to thin out a little and closer to dead-center medium currently. Likely won't get the chance but feel like this score will creep up to 9.3 in the next 3-4 years. Not a huge jump but, given the $43.27 bottle cost/ resto price paid, fairly decent value for VV Pommard. 1.30.26. — a day ago

9.3

2023 vintage. Last tasted 9.29.25 (9.2). Medium-medium heavy body and zippy with decent oak interludes noww. Another 2-3 years might find this in the suburbs. Worth sampling now to understand "new" Chablis. Currently in the rebel without a cause phase. Too fast to live. Too young to die. Bye-bye. 01.28.26. — 3 days ago

9.5

2000 vintage. Great fill and cork. Opened with a Durand and decanted. A little sed but manageable. tasted 40 minutes and 1.5 hours after opening. Medium body. 14% ABV on the label and not questioning it since this effort was throwing nearly zero heat. All secondary and tertiary impressions at this point and they were unified and present. Some dark fruit still but emphasis capably drawn towards the black olive, durty earth, finish. Really knitted together currently. Maybe another 5-spot in this guise? Maybe another decade? Hard to tell but showing beautifully now. 01.28.26. — 3 days ago

9.2

2021 vintage. Last tasted 3.19.25 (9.2). Decanted and tasted after one hour. Was medium-medium heavy body but gained some weight in the last year. Now medium heavy. Smoky nose. Velveteen fruit. Nice spice complexities on the delish finish. Pre-tariff resto cost was $19.90 a bottle. 70% Grenache. 15% Syrah. 15% Mourvèdre. Absolute steal. 1.30.26. — a day ago

9.2

2019 vintage. Sampled via Coravin. Medium-medium heavy body. Slightly astringent immediately on the finish but the intro + mid-palate was filled with balanced fruit. Feel this will be right as rain with a decant or hour of air. A consistent Gevrey performance. 1.30.26. — a day ago

9.4

2022 vintage. Sampled via Coravin. Medium-medium heavy body. Vineyard from the highest point in Gevrey-Chambertin. Gorgeous throughout already with surprising, back-end spice fest. Tannins slightly muted but started to creep out after a few minutes in the glass. This likes to speed and is going places. 1.30.26. — a day ago

I have found it most useful testing a bottle before I bring it to a BYOB to make sure it’s not corked.

Excellent invention under the right circumstances. The 9 yrs of remaining storage after use, in my experience, overstated.
