Apr 28th, 2023In the decanter much darker than I would have expected. Tight on both the nose and the palate for the first 30-45 minutes. Grudgingly began to open with a dark fruit profile, secondary flavors and decent structure. Burly in the mouth but as the evening moved to its conclusion I found the wine a little disjointed.

May 9th, 2019Bramble and underripe blueberries with some tart cranberry notes. Smokey salami and dried sage on the secondary front followed by peppery cedar. This is all I want from a quality burgundy. Tannins are smooth and resolved, this is on point.

Apr 13th, 2016Drinking very well. Got another 5-10 years of life. Shows the 04 vintage can make great wines for mid term cellaring

Dec 25th, 2015We had the 2010 Vintage on 11/4-5/23. A real good PN. Tastes of raspberry, strawberry and baking spice. Medium bodied. More fruit forward for a Burgundy. I spoke to Flavio at The Wine Watch. He tells me this wine maker produces wines more fruit forward than most Burgundies. I sensed this wine was more CA than FR.

Nov 5th, 2023Never a bad night for some Clos Vougeot! I think most people say wait on the 09’s but I love how they are drinking right now!

Oct 30th, 2021Man, love this. Could drink all day. Went on a limb and brought burgundy to a steak house. It’s hot out and this is just too easy.

Apr 22nd, 2018The fruit is lighter and the earth greater than the Corton or the L’enfant Jesus, but overall balanced and wonderful. More than anything my takeaway is these 05’s are drinking great.
