Suprising acidity and freshness pumping liveliness to caramely slightly reductive notes. A bit muted on the aromatics dept but palate is deeply flavoured with good rich , slightly buttery bright yellow fruits. Nice lemons with just a touch of custard and some minerality. Excelllent wine till finish. Satisfying but just a lil shy on the nose.

Excellent vintage and shows on a simple bourgogne. This in a blind would be more like a good village at least. Lifted aromatically explosive nose of burg ass, gun flint and lots of schist. Quite rich but powdery mouthfeel with simple but still deep flavours of citrus and white stonefruits. Oak still not properly integrated. Might need more time but probably just drink it.

What a nose from a Rioja! This is every bit as burg as I like with burgundian flowers done in a classy and elegant manner. Welcoming on smell and very attractive. Silky smooth heaven of al dente stewed cherry ripe elegant fruits. Suprisingly and pleasingly youthful. Delicious wine but does wane away nearing the end. While it lasts though, this is still pretty robust a wine but in a very well balanced style. Any burgundy fan would love it.

Musky rotten eggs, burg ass with some soapiness. Very pungently aromatic. Fresh stewed fruits with strong showing of red cherries, sweet ripe black berries but with some age. Still mostly primary , fresh and reasonably youthful . Could need another 5 years.

Placed against a 96 corton and a 93 Rioja, this really seemed an adolescent with no inkling of the world it is in. Still harsh, brambly and very much spicy with concentrated black fruit extract. Might need more time but at the moment very awkwardly too structured for a burg. A brash young man still finding his foothold in the world.
