Drank with burgundy group - PnP. Needed a decant. Still a bit tough and burly. Serious strength but lacks nuance. No greenery to speak of. Hoping other bottles come around with age. Wait 5 at least for next bottle!
Nez de fruits rouges, des épices, nez qui évolue pour le mieux, aucune verdeur, bouche avenante, puissance et finesse ici aussi, encore une belle acidité, bel équilibre et longueur. Difficile de départager 2006 et 2011. Légère préférence pour 2006 au départ mais à la longue, pas certain, 2 beaux vins. 94-95
Nice nose of red fruit, spices, nose that gets better and better in the glass, power and finesse also, balance and length are grand cru level. Hard to say which one I prefer vs 06.

Farmyard on the nose. The palate is quite polished for a Burgundy and didn’t reflect the 2011 vintage. Beautiful balance of acidity, tannins, fruit and alcohol, but not quite ready for drinking. Leave for another couple of years.

Smells amazing but finishes rustic.
