Tasted blind. Light ruby, minimal bricking; moderately aromatic, red fruited, youthful; palate is light bodied, black cherry and red fruits, high acidity, relatively low alcohol, fairly youthful in terms of its character and evolution, fades just a bit through the midpalate; finish is medium length. A very nice but young burgundy. 91
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny
Tasted blind. Light ruby, slight bricking; aromatic, slightly smoky, black cherry, slight tar; palate is light-medium bodied, high acidity, low alcohol, black cherry and darker fruits combined with a touch of soy and umami, excellent persistence through the midpalate; finish is medium-plus. Seems high quality, at early maturity, but still with time ahead of it. 91
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru
Tasted blind. Light ruby, slight bricking; aromatic, spices, slight soy, forest floor, some mature red fruits; palate is light bodied, high acidity, low alcohol, acidity and freshness carries this through the midpalate though the fruit fades; finish is medium length. Seems like this is at maturity and showing tertiary character. 91 On retaste, I really enjoy the aromatics on this. Elegant, complex, good depth. My favorite of the 3. 92 On reveal, an excellent showing. Really lovely, drinking really well, excellent QPR. 92+
Tasted blind. Medium-plus ruby with bricking; aromatic, forest floor, capsicum, slight tobacco; palate is full bodied, elegant integrated medium tannins, medium alcohol, medium acidity, fully mature fruits; elegant medium length finish. Fully mature Bordeaux, finish is a touch short but otherwise very good. 91
Tasted blind. Medium-deep ruby with minimal bricking; aromatic, plummy, purple fruited; palate is full bodied, medium acidity, medium alcohol, again fruit is more purple to black rather than red, flavors a bit clipped through the midpalate and the medium-minus finish. Very nice, possibly some low level TCA but it's showing so much I'm not sure. I will rate it, but I'm not sure it's 100%. 90
Tasted blind. Medium-plus ruby, slight bricking; moderately aromatic with blackberry, red cherry, blackcurrant, slight green pepper/capsicum; palate is full bodied, integrated tannins, lovely fruit which is at perfect early maturity, surprisingly high acid, medium alcohol; finish is medium-plus. Seems at early maturity with seamless tannins and nice balanced fruit. 93
