Half 10/12. Duller in the glass than previously, still mid to full ruby but a dullness and lacklustre appearance. A melange of deep cherry fruit with damp earth and meatier notes starting to develop. Densely silky, good fruit, and more of a discernible Gevrey than producer character, though a sense of vigneron lingers. This is really very good village wine. ****

Pnp, earth, red fruits, cool blue fruits, forest floor, some blue fruits after a few hours, juicy, tannins still obvious. Good village and still primary and youthful

From half bottle. Young and juicy 2009 and albeit a touch one dimensional at this stage it was also exceptionally delicious .Polished , well round and silky. A bit too fruity ( in a non confectionery way of course) at this stage and this would be so good once a secondary side develops! 91 ish for now

So good last week, we had to have another bottle, and it was fantastic again. Sap, undergrowth, bruised strawberry-like fruit - lots of layers going on and on.

Now this is more like it. Next to the 2010, so much broader, deeper and sweeter, red fruits and sap - delicious
