Another half tonite from a different cellar, consistent w my note below. Wonderful with brined quail, pecan wood and char grilled w a tamarind glaze, where the tart and gamy flavors share a happy home in my mouth. No surprises, but these small bottles may be entering prime drinking next year, earlier than I thought.

From half bottle, w a one hour decant, after PNP sip demanded it. The very sexy nose is like a parfait of wet copper pennies and black cherry jello, w some pipe tobacco and baharat seasoning. Notes of black rum cake and lilac talc. It’s vibrant and evolving with no volatility or brett. Richly textured, silky tannins, great penetration, more of that black cherry tobacco flavor, a glycerine feel in the mouth, with brambly blackberries and tart red cherries. Finish is long, lean, and tight, a sign of youth. 6-8 years for these little guys to begin peaking. If the finish shows more then, this will easily be 95 pts. Lovely tonight w duck confit, dried cherries, and tabouleh.

very nice with bright fresh red fruit and some secondary (spices mostly) going on in the background... the primary flavors are in front and masking something else at this point... didn't (or maybe just couldn't at this young age) see 94 or 95 pt potential here, but I've been wrong about that before... I would definitely put any you have down for 10-15 years and then see what blooms from the bottle

Picked up from Total Wine after running a 10K and playing 9 holes of gold in 100 degree heat. Extremely refreshing wine that brings a sense of gratitude and well-being. Medium bodied- fresh acidity medium etoh at 13.5% (I guessed 13.8). On the nose - dark raspberry, game, and recently moistened topsoil. Barely stings the eyes with a deep breath with nose buried in the glass. Oak present but not overbearing - merely a cradle for the smooth entrance of the wine on the palate with meat, semi-sweet red Twizzler

Rich and seductive in style with the charming darker character of ripe raspberries, clear graphite / road dust, distinctive perfume and exotic spices. Good full-bodied wine with a wonderfully energetic mouthfeel that takes hold and charms from the first second and blows itself up to a powerful mouthfeel that is just fresh all the way through. Raspberries and cranberries make you smile with wonderful fruit concentration and with fine barrel spices behind with a hint of perfume. The tannins bite a little at the long and wonderful finish, but in a good typical way for the vintage. Crazy wine in 2018! 95 points.

Honestly I’m not sure what I was doing drinking this. At this age there are only a few things you can ascertain, and all of them are good here....fruit depth, fruit complexity, not overbearingly structured. But I can’t say there was magic. I’m swagging a 92-96 point range

This one was quite different than I expected. Instead of delicate fruit and cristy acids a lá Rousseau, I got a more polished and rich, slightly overseas character. Sure, the high quality oak makes this very sexy for now. Fine tannins, and a long elegant finish. Delicious.

Tasting at Louis Jadot (Beaune): Easily my favorite of the CSJ/LSJ/ESJ trio. Intense aromatics of red and black cherry with loads of spice and meat. Terrific richness and concentration but with an ethereal lift and precision. Long, penetrating finish. Should age effortlessly for decades. 93-95

Burgundy, Day 1 (Beaune, France): Year in, year out, a favourite from the Jadot stable. This seems to be the hypothetical blend of the Estournelles and Lavaux but by only taking the good elements of each. There's a balance of rich fruit and tart-red-fruited-acidity here, as well as a convincing dose of rusty earthiness. The palate is more layered, silky, and complex. Very delicious already.

Tasting at Louis Jadot (Beaune): Full, dense nose of black cherry, meat and spice. Screams of Gevrey. Expansive on the palate as the G.C. concentration fruit fill the mouth. Rich and chewy. Good offsetting freshness. A classic and great vintage in the making. 92-94
