Love this. Very clean and fresh palate delivering full and precise mixed berry fruit with a dry juniper, tobacco and leather finish. Some serious and traditional structure here, which is maybe too austere for some but, married with the generosity of flavour, it is right up my street. Pretty confident this will improve and be a belter in its early to mid twenties, but no problems with getting this out now to have with food.

A very nice surprise. I had bought this wine more for the name that reminded me of Beaudelaire than for what the critics said. I drank it for the first time when it was young and it seemed heavy and quite monolithic, hence the surprise. After more than a decade in a magnum format, it delighted the whole table. The guests, lovers of Burgundy, were impressed. The tannins were fine, the fruit still very present and without any trace of tertiary aromas. It was as drinkable as a good Vosnes and it disappeared in no time. This reconciled us with Bordeaux, you just have to be patient.

Dufter av solbærblader og litt blyant, men generelt nokså tilbakeholden på duft. Herlig frisk syre i munnen, flott tanninstruktur som er rund og behagelig nå. Deilig balansert nå. Frukten er fremdeles fin, så det er ennå mye å lagre på også.

Unyielding, tannic and hard. Not attractive.
