So good, assuming you don’t get a flawed bottle this should last a decade or two but after a quick decant this is impeccable and in a style that is so hard to find. You can shop for reduction but this has some of the amazing extra elements that are hard to define. I like the new wines post 2017 for different reasons but the old BBV wines I could drink every night.

Tastes exactly like Pillot and Corton Charlemagne in the best possible way. I’m sure it’s going to age really well but like a lot of Pillot, they also taste delicious fresh with a quick decant.

I didn't find this oxidative but it was very creamy and almost new world, kind of a turn off. I bought 6 bottles and this is the first I drank and I was not a big fan, it was well made but not my style, I'll try another in the future to make sure it was not a weird bottle because it didn't resemble what I see in CT or from professional critics but I bought 6 on auction and there were a bunch of 6 bottle lots, maybe this is why....
