Weekly tasting group RWP #351; 2009 (@ VD): Cherries and raspberries and a hint of toast in the still somewhat locked bouquet. On the palate red berries, a firm amount of fresh acidity and sticky tannin. Can easily age for some more years. 91+

Weekly tasting group RWP #291: Burgundy 2009 (@ VD): Beautiful and refined bouquet with red and dark berries, well dosed oak, a bit salty and sweet spices. On the palate blue berries, smoke, toast, vanilla, some rustic flavors, beautiful acidity and slightly sticky tannin with a pleasant bite.

Emerald with a bit of purple on the edges. Not much glycerine. Throws off some stem, cherry and kirchwasser aromas. Palate is round and supple with notes of forest raspberry, cherry, and plum, with a nice salty minerality. Lingers nicely on the palate. Very delicate, the oak is well judged. Very nice.

Quite in contrast to the previous wine, this one has a beyond medium intense ruby core, with a purple sheen and no visible clearing. The very first noseful of it has me thinking Perrot-Minot, with its soft plummy fruits and tell-tale cotton-candy oak component. More air sees the latter morph to a soapy/flowery potpourri note. It’s a medium-plus bodied wine, which is unusually structured for a mere village. The 110 year-old vines impart medium-plus –still somewhat woody– tannins, which are ripe and of very high quality otherwise. Medium-plus acidity infuses freshness into pronounced and extracted mid-palate flavours of black griottes and liquorice, while a mild gamey bass-note provides some early complexity. The only qualm I have right now is that this wine is somewhat monolithic on the 20-25 second finish, but otherwise it is extremely good. I’m not a buyer at those prices, but if I were this would be a given. 89 points, with perhaps as much as three points extra in the fullness of time.............TN Mike de Lange.
