Drinking superbly. Complex aromatics of smoked meats, red and purple fruits, decaying rose, coffee and black earth. It is fine and silky in the mouth, with exquisite balance and latent power. Flavours build and expand, fanning out on the long finish.

Black fruits still; forest, greenery type of aromas/briar patch, herbal tea mixed with tree bark and soil. Dark and somber but with mineral lift and elegance. I would need to try this again to evaluate it. Good potential but this is so shut down and needs another 5-8 year in my opinion.

Great healthy colour , ruby red, nose ok , taste fruity and long and as with any good wine it took a long time to drink as each mouthful was to be savoured.Not particularly velvety but very good.

(Clair Bruno Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St.Jacques) In hindsight it was more of a mistake not to ask for larger glasses in the restaurant than to delay the request for a decanter - this wine was a missed opportunity. Over about 90 minutes the wine never opened out on the nose, subdued aromatics of red fruit with a faint black edge. From time-to-time I imagined more, but then it was gone. The palate is that of a perfectly balanced, linear light-middleweight that is fine of tannin and shows good freshness. On this outing the length is also unremarkable. Too tight for interesting.

Not as exciting and “lifted” as the bottle tasted five years ago.
