2015 vintage. Last tasted 5.17.23 (9.4) and 3.8.23 (9.3). Courtesy of @Bill Bender. Decanted and tasted after 45 minutes and 1.5 hours. Medium body. Color just starting to flash slightly rusty/brown. Dirty nose and dirty flavors. This example had dropped much of the youthful fruit and in a state of transition. Still nice but definitely embracing soil/earth aspects vs those flighty fruit tones. Thank you, Bill!! 4.11.26.

2015 vintage. Pommard body coming through like a freight train. Great richness in the frontal palate. Really harmonious currently. Would love to stash twenty bottles and taste yearly for the next two decades. Super pleased with this showing. 5.17.23.

2015 vintage. Away from the scene for more than a spell but back and in a big way. Aging gracefully and traditionally without bizarro global warming markers/disclaimers. Not expecting to be able to say that again for newer vintages in the region. Medium-bodied with a definite, and anticipated, Pommard punch. A splash of Chambolle-styled perfume/floral components for makeup and a dialing-down of the usual nonsense from the area lends more than a little harmony to the overall effort. This is coming along verry nicely. 3.8.23.
