March 30, 2024 - Stylish, bright, youthful but closed. Look vibrant, cherry red in the glass. Lovely flavoured cherry and dark fruit, leather and warm spices but didn’t release its fruit. Like an elegant beauty just having a bad night - all the promise was there.
February 10, 2024 - Drank up against the '13 and '15 . consensus was that this was more fruit than terroir driven. Crowd fave was '13 ... more elegant and complex
January 1, 2024 - Once again superb. Great fruit and structure. Quite deep and dark for a burgundy. Blackberries, dark cherries and plum with a little leather and mushroom. Ageless in its initial presentation in the glass. Very good.
November 27, 2023 - Medium nose intensity with notes of red and black fruits, earth, spices. Medium+ acidity and medium tannin.
November 14, 2023 - Drank at 67
Again showing just how good Baby Jesus is. Love it.
September 16, 2022 - Dégustation horizontale de Beaune Grèves 2015 (Restaurant l'État-Major): Un nez évoquant le bran de scie (!). La bouche est aussi boisée, c’est plein et puissant, mais peu expressif à ce stade. Bonne profondeur, mais le vin est austère, pas très causant. À revoir dans plusieurs années. 88-89 (+?) pts
August 27, 2022 - Decantado 3 horas. Color morado oscuro muy brillante. Aroma profundo, polifacetico y perfumado de alta complejidad, ciruela, cerezas, melocotón, fruta negra ligeramente licorosa, tierra mojada, tabaco rubio. Aroma encantador y esplendido. En boca entra suave, atercipelado, elegante, buena acidez, medio cuerpo, extremadamente sabroso en orden a fruta negra matizada. Final muy largo con intensos sabores frutales.
Delicioso vino, con una nariz encantadora y una boca que casi está a su altura. Puede aguantar mucho más pero no hay razón para no disfrutarlo ahora mismo
May 15, 2022 - Medium plus nose of cherry, earth, and a pine/herbal note perhaps from stems. Above average complexity and length which improved with aeration/decanting/mouth swishing. Good acid/tannin structure to age well and stand up to rich meaty meals. Glad I have more to watch this evolve. Drink or hold 10+ years.
December 3, 2021 - better than my last, not as much tannic as I remember. Needs more time to evolve
November 28, 2021 - Special lunch party - best of Australia vs France (Ravensdale Farm): Right up there in WOTN running. Beautiful power and structure. Cherry meets dark fruits. Great depth and coomplexity. Plenty of youthful tannin. Warming spice and drying spices. Really very special. This wine rarely lets me down.
