Folks, I have now consumed 11 bottles out of the case. The first 9 were very good - lots of ripe, complex fruit, balancing acidity and French oak influences. Unfortunately, the last two are randoxed. Now, it isn't storage. I imported the wine myself and it was in professional air cond storage and then when I wanted to drink it, all bottles were placed in a new wine chiller. All bottles were opened within a handful of months.
The last two were darker coloured and lacked fruit and freshness, the fruit was largely gone for good and the only flavours I really got were vanilla oak and a touch of honey and quince. It wasn't corked - but I hope no more of the wines I imported along with it are so affected.

Nice gold colour with a powerful nose of fruit, oak and minerals. Quite full bodied with lots of fruit - pear, stone fruit, tangerine and lemon. There is some French oak evident which frames the wine and it is quite fruit driven. The palate is long, the acid is cleansing and the fruit remains for some time. Excellent wine though the 2014 is slightly better with more minerality and length.

Tuesday Cellar Visits in Burgundy - Remoissenet, Bernard Moreau, Pousse d'Or, Comte Liger-Belair (Cote d'Or): Barrel tasting a the domaine. Floral with very ripe fruit, but then refreshed with a good burst of energy from middle forward for textural charm. Good+ for its level.
