October 21, 2023 - Totally OTH. This went down the drain, sadly.
March 26, 2023 - Opened two hours in advance but not decanted. Nose muted and never really developed. Much better on palate. Fully mature but retains energy. Fruit pure with earthy slightly rustic notes. Not sure where this is going. Probably best to drink up remaining bottles
February 10, 2021 - expired
July 14, 2019 - Opened to celebrate England’s knife edge win to claim the cricket World Cup.
Fully mature wth plenty of rustic underbrush. Beautiful smooth palate just tailing off slightly in the finish. Acidity keeping it fresh. Very nice
June 16, 2019 - Forest floor, then sweeter strawberry-tinged fruit after 40 minutes or so. Tannins not noticeable initially but coming through late in the bottle. Until then, gentle acidity carried the persistent melting finish.
Very nice indeed.
April 22, 2017 - Beautiful colour mid red with translucent vivid colour. Served cool undecanted. Nose grew as the wine warmed. Fragrant wild strawberries and fresh woodland scents. Earthy notes and some Nuits rusticity good but not obtrusive structure and acidity. Lovely clean complex finish. Delicious
September 2, 2013 - Disappointing
April 4, 2013 - Needs at least 3 more years in the cellar
October 7, 2012 - Bricking light cherry colour. Lovely nose gentle rustic wafts of strawberry and sous bois. Good substance and rustic fruit mineral well balanced with acidity. Classy and delicious with slow cooked lamb with flageleots.
December 10, 2011 - Nose a bit dis jointed on this bottle and generally less harmonious. Palate much better than nose sweet fruit and forest floor
