Consistent with my previous note but I notice dark cherry fruit a bit more. This has a gorgeous texture and is more svelte than the crunchy Cathiard I had the other day.

Cork soaked through, but no impact on the wine. Dark ruby, no sign of bricking. A bit shy on the nose initially, but opens up (dark berries) with time in the glass. Rich palate, good density. Dark fruited, Vosne spice, excellent acidic balance. Medium+ finish. Outperforms its level. No rush to drink, should easily maintain its current properties for at least another 5 years.

Sexy nose, blueberry and raspberry fruit with a herbal touch, oak presence. Oak spice. Bit of cola. Not super-expressive initially on the palate but with lovely freshness and tension. Quite concentrated, especially for the level. With a bit of air the fruit comes more to the fore. Not-quite integrated oak on the finish. Gorgeous, will hit its absolute peak in coupe of years I suspect.

Fresh and complex nose with minerals and herbs (mint) to the fore, pure strawberry and blueberry fruit underneath. Elegant on the palate with superb balance. Perhaps a touch under-ripe. Nice dry tannic finish. Gorgeous and will get better.
