Wine meet - Lars @ St Paul de Vence: Still young, powerful, red and dark berries, noticeable but soft tannins, great balance and still some upside. Lovely.

Opened with the Tokyo gang shortly after flying in. No decanter and likely a bit jet lagged. Not surprisingly, it has a reticent, restrained nose, hinting at dark red and blue fruits with some but limited floral notes. Fairly powerful in the mouth, rich rather than silky, again darker fruit predominates; clearly this is still in its primary stage but it is not at all monolithic at this very young age. I felt there are layers and layers waiting to unfold. All agreed it has the structure and the fruit to evolve into a very good wine, perhaps a great village level wine. Will wait a few years before checking in again but so far I am pleased with this wine's development.

Delivers the goods as expected - at peak now. Lovely nose of black cherry and violets. Very smooth tannins, good acidity and balance on the palate. A round yet somewhat masculine interpretation of Chambolle.

This is beginning to be open for business... violets, raspberries and hints of bacon on the nose. Earthy and sweet on the palate, good core of fruit. Quality-wise this is between villages and 1er cru.
