Second time. Again absolutely great freshness and clarity. So soft and gentle but with power, finesse and broadness. 93

Ink, black fruit, cassis, chocolate, exotic herbs. Bitter tannins. Loose and not quite structured. 92

00387/3985. Less reductive than the dAuvenay counterpart but more approachable, with Meursault minerals and great acidity. Palate is equally composed, clean and broad. 93

Decently made with pure florals and ripe fruit. Nice weight and concentration. 91
Oxidized, but with freshness on the palate.
Intense leather notes, but otherwise good dense body and clean palate. 92
Good broadness and underpinned spice, but slightly tired already. 92
From Magnum. Lovely acidity atop the great aged brioche, caramel and spice. Quite nuanced. 93
Great deep nose and aging; slightly too much acid. 91
Intact and lots of fruit. Quite structured. 93
From Magnum. Lovely spice and structure on the palate with lots of structure. Great production of the vintage. 93
581/1535. Slightly acidic but still great core balance. Woody, lots of stem, animalistic with good fruit. Sweetness on the finish. 92
Composed wine with great acidity, soft minerals, reduction and a straight finish. 94
Overripe fruit, stem, ample acidity and undertoned spice. Quite in style but slightly unbalanced. 93
From Double Magnum. Lots of acidity at this stage, but otherwise just a very good example of this wine. 92
Too acidic over the potentially good balance. Vintage tannin issue? 90
Overripe, herbal, medicine. Great balance but the medical tannin still a problem to the vintage? 91
Quite green here, hard to taste much else. 91
Lovely sweetness and balance with power. 93
1485/2645. Great acid and balance on the nose, but less so on the palate. 92
Big, dense, clean, elegant, fruity. Everything in place. 94
Some out-of-place acidity, but otherwise typical. 92
So fresh and lively. Lots of citrus drives just a really good champagne flavor profile. Soft landing towards the end. 93
Good fruit, but nothing interesting. 90
Very good clarity and balance. 93
