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.

Jan 3rd, 2016Drinking very well. Got another 5-10 years of life. Shows the 04 vintage can make great wines for mid term cellaring

Dec 25th, 2015You loves the Pinot so I had to go Grand Cru for Christmas! 🎄 Drinking fantastically right now, perfume, power and pleasure all in one!

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!
