Gorgeous bouquet with Asian spices and an unmistakable Burgundian gout de terroir but clean. Soft, supple, and beautiful tart cherry and red current fruits with just a bit of balancing tannin. A beautiful and elegant 2002 really hitting its stride.

Opened at 5pm which probably should have been 3pm for dinner and this was beautiful at about 9pm with red fruited jammy notes and fairly resolved tannins making a delicious drink but clearly not as layered as some of the grand crus drank next.

Beautiful nose not quite vosne spices but more gamey. Still has some tannins present and was quite closed for a long time needing decanting. But eventually started to open into a beautiful and delicious wine.could easily cellar for 3-5 more years. I ll drink my 06 first!
OOOHHHHH what a wine!!!! Great Burgundy, really hitting its stride in this bottle. A really lovely Burgundy, strawberries and rasberries, no browning at all. What a length!! This wine drew gasps of pleasure. I have a few left: high class problem is when to consume them....

Fantastic bottle. Down to my last 5 of 12 and these just get better and better. Sparkling colour in the glass. Lovely rose petal and red fruit layers, and a length of finish in the mouth much more typical of grand cru burgundy. Served to my brother who exclaimed : “Wow, this is amazing.” He was strangely quiet through the dinner and drank at least three quarters of the bottle. Typical.....

Nose has this dusty dark fleshy fruit. Very refined high toned acids. Approachable and resolved right at open. Light clean finish mouth puckering acids.

Big Chinese 5 spice nose with some meat. Very expansive palate, big in the middle with nice chalky, earthy and dark fruits notes. Nice grip. Tannins starting to integrate and good acidity on the backend. Creamy finish. This wine has a lot of life left in it

Developing nicely. Some secondary notes, but still good fruit. In a good place now, appealing to all burg palates. This should age beautifully.
