6hrs decant. Needed (as alls Bruno Clair Cazetiers). At the beginning of its drinking window. Nose: balanced. Tons of wild cherries. A bit of smoke. Dried strawberries and a hint of cinnamon and lots of other spices. Palate: Confirming nose, but more on the red side of fruit. Tannins still grippy. A beautiful wine, but far away from 2015 and other legendary vintages. Start drinking, but no hurry (peak expected in 2-5yrs, potential of 93-95+). My next one is scheduled for 2025.

See my prenious post in Oct 21 - opened my next bottle. Strike on! What a gem! 3hrs decant. Elegant colour. Nose is elegant and elevating. Tons of blue and black berries, a bit of coffee and of char; Tertiaries have developed well. Vivid colour. Vintage was average, but this one is a stunner. Palate is confirming nose. Tannins have intergrated super well: still a very bit grippy, but never mind over an awesome meal. Drinking window finally and wide open. Drink now or never.

Kaum OK relativ zum Preis, liegt unter meinen Erwartungen. Nase dunkelbeerig gut, aber keine Grandezza. Gaumen viel Gewürz und dunkle Früchte sowie reife Himbeeren. Säure noch recht dominant. Abgang zu wenig hallend. Ist im Trinkfenster angekommen und wird auch mit Reife kaum zunehmen. Trinken und besser andere Le Moines kaufen. QPR nicht gegeben.
