(2010 Bruno Clair tasting with two reference wines) Medium-fullish, developed nose. Spicy and herbal. Small strawberry and cinnamon. Very pure and clean. Gently oaky. Medium-fullish, soft palate. Velvety texture. Very good concentration. High acidity. Almost Chambolle-like in its expression. Elegant, but perhaps lacking a bit Vosne spiciness and complexity. Very, very Pinot. Drink or hold.

This was excellent; the nose was beautiful with pure fresh red berry fruits, classic Vosne spices, perfumed floral notes, and just a hint of spice and mineral. The balance and concentration on the palate were stellar and it has the classic 2010 feel of elegance while still delivering plenty of punch. Can easily go another decade + as it hasn't really developed any secondary notes yet, but if you want it for fruit would drink within the next few years.

Perfect cork, medium ruby, perfumed nose escaping the bottle. Elegant drink with a long finish and most tannins resolved. I have three more and will enjoy them over the next 12 months.

Perfect cork, light ruby, spicy nose explodes from the glass. Excellent wine with a long finish. Ready to enjoy for my taste.

This is rocking. Classically red fruited with Vosne spice. So ready and seductive, but perhaps a bit too easy drinking and light.
