I really rated this wine. A great balance of pure fruit upfront followed by a savoury finish. All you could ask for in a red Burgundy and drinking really well now. Picked it up for around £38 so was chuffed.

Slightly disappointing from this infamous plot bordering the Grand Cru site. A bin end wine I picked up a while ago and thought the year and pedigree were surely a great combo. What I got however was lots of oak and very little fruit concentration. The wine was slightly one dimensional, possibly past it's peak.

Very dark and broody, this Cab dominant blend has many years left in it. A joy to drink now after a few hours in the decanter but I'm sure this wine has more to show. Great concentration and powerful structure make it one to watch. Cassis, graphite, dark plum, good acidity and firm tannins.
