PNP at room temperature. This was dark red in color but a touch lighter and more developed than the 09 Fremiets the other night. More approachable at open as well, but better with an hour of air in the glass. Dark ripe fruit, some leather and game on the nose, nice finish. This seems now into the window but should hold and perhaps mellow just a bit with some time but would be happy to drink now. A-

notable funk is secondary to very rich and ripe dark cherry; there is both a floral and vegetal/stem component that adds to complexity; ABV says 13 but it drinks warmer than that; Bigger than the pork and chicken dinner needed. Not what i look for in burgundy, but plenty of fun to drink.

Quite excellent bottle here. Very elegant with a long finish...delicate taste of cherries that I enjoy from good Volnay. Certainly a well made bottle that I believe is firmly in its drinking window. Some minerality...prefer more but generally was quite impressed.

darker and bigger than expected; great, very ripe, slightly dark red fruit; notable oak; a beetroot and tin/metallic component was distracting. Still young and worked better with the BBQ steak than with the lighter fare. Will hold off for a while and see how this evolves.

Austere, possibly reduced at first, but then gains in generosity over a couple of hours. Beautiful. Very very nice.
