I wanted to try this one after having tasted the wine when it was just released. At that time the wine tasted like sweet plums. Now three years later I had to try it again. The wine is drinking very well currently, the sweet plum notes have disappeared. The color is ruby red and the nose shows blueberries some sweet spices and leather notes. I decanted the wine and waited for around 1,5 hours. By then it was really starting to show off. The wine is very smooth with lots of flavour and a nice long finish. If you like your wine show fruit I think it’s an excellent time to drink it. It’s a great wine!

Very clean elegant style, not over the top luscious as with other Puligny’s. The vineyard is situated a little bit higher on the hill, which gives it more of a linear elegant style which I tend to appreciate more than the riche or complex style. Very fresh and high in acidity with elements of white fruit, and of course the Puligny terroir flavour notes albeit reduced at the moment. If you like freshness and acidity in combination with elegant notes of butter and apple and citrus it’s very nice to try now. if you want more roundness wait for it, it definitely has the potential

Had to try a bottle after waiting for a while. As usual it needs some time to open up but after three hours it opened up amazing. Great to drink now (really wonderful) with a good decant and of course many years left to go.
