  November 18, 2022 - Nose: strawberry, cherry, spices, sweet candy, hints of smoke
  Notes: This CSD was extremely elegant with a great balance and i must say I was pleasantly surprised. With an explosive nose and a smooth palate this is definitely one of the top efforts from LLM. The flamboyant nose was lovely and although 2011 is supposed to be more ready than other ones from the 2010s this is more mature than I imagine and colors were pretty light (although this could be relevant to the winemaking style instead. It is necessary to resample this again in a few years time but it is wonderful and I think we shall continue to enjoy this wine for the next 10 years.

  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), medium+ tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet savoury earth, spiced oak, gentle red cherries, sweet tea leaves, sappiness. Long finish.
  Very good quality.. Drinking in a good place already.

  September 8, 2021 - The floral note was not deep enough. Much better after 2 hours of decanting. The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like strawberry, raspberry, red currant, grapefruit, raisin and pear. The body is medium. The wine has satin-like texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

  June 5, 2020 - OK - bought 5 bottles from 2011 LLM to understand what I prefer, And should order more from. This is not the winner.
  Echezeaux is in lead, But Clos de la Roche and Vougot are cumming up soon with some 1er’s from Volnay.
  
  Better when opened than after 20h decant, My bad guess. optimal at 18c. Tested in big bourgundy glass and normal big. Go for Riedel Vitus rather than the big Somalier.
  
  Nice experience, not bad..But no fun..

  July 12, 2018 - First Le Moine of many bottles consumed that disappointed. Very woody, lacking fruit. No real improvement the second day.
