2024 New Year's Day Double Blind Tasting: Double-blind. Lovely nose on this wine with high toned bright ref fruit, touch of spice and cinnamon on the finish. Good acidity, youthful, semi-sweet finish.

Like the very good 2005 which I recently had, this is also made in a brooding, dense style with lots of animalic notes. Very complex nose with red and dark fruit, farmyard, earthy. Medium plus bodied for a Burgundy, lots of structure but not rustic.

The wine is dark, intense and powerful. It is packed with candied fruit, dark currant, violets, spice and smoke with excellent length and depth. Like many 2015, it is approachable. 93-94

This producer is fairly new to me, but wow are these 2015s good. Massive concentration, power, and complexity here. A little smokiness, really rich strawberry and raspberry fruit with some oak spice and a huge, long finish. This is drinking really well now with air, especially as the density of the fruit obscures the underlying tannins, which are sweet. Unclear if it will shut down but this should go for decades.

As Jacques would put it, the 2015 expressed what the 2013 was trying to say.
