June 24, 2023 - Lovely fragrant nose, classic Pinot fruit but strong scents of violets. Flavour doesn’t quite match it but still pretty good. One of those wines that starts off tasking aged but becomes a bit more youthful as it opens out. Suggests this still has a few years to go yet. Light to medium but nice intensity.

July 9, 2021 - Simple but thought provoking. Dusty cherries and a bit of rusticity. Everything you'd want in burgundy. In expensive and with aging potential. Alas, I haven't been able to find these with much regularity.

December 25, 2020 - Took about an hour to open up. Quite nice nose, light ruby, lots of strawberries and some minerals. Nice mouthfeel good finish. Drinking very well.

December 9, 2020 - I bought this on the strength of our experience with the '06. Opened tonight with roast duck, it was a point: silky texture, brimming with red fruits with a mineral streak running through it. Definitely worth drinking now, it may develop more secondary and tertiary characteristics with more time in the bottle.
