Tasted over 2 hrs, edition 3 (of 6) of 2014 Bertheau horizontal -nearly semi-translucent med dark red mild bricking -a little funk blows off to show decently expressive full ripe black cherry and red currant -med/med+ acidity provides some tang to the finish, med/med- weight silky sappy black cherry earth unfurls after a couple hours, med/med- tannins -more substantial and a bit darker fruit than the village wine, no surprise a little more youthful too - this is early on its mature plateau, lovely

Dinner at Isnin. Drank in Grassl Cru. Appearance fine sediment, pale intensity, garnet colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of leafy earth, oatmeal, dried rose petals, dried red cherries. Developed. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), lacy medium- tannins, medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of melted potpourri rose petals, earth, dried red cherries, licorice, integrated sweet spices. Long finish. Very good quality. Chambolle elegance. Liquid lingerie. Drink now.

Two bertheau 1ers in 2 weeks! One was the 2010 and the other is this beauty. Very Bertheau, very fine and light. People who don't like the lacy, ethereal burgundy style might dismiss as being light/weak. But I loved it. Just a shade behind the immortal 2010.
