PnP. ABV 13%. €33.40 before shipping and tax charges. Still fairly dark in color, not a lot of development yet. Clean nose, elegant and floral. Palate is a bit more advanced, tannins are partially resolved, firm mid-palate. Very good concentration and depth for a 1er Cru. Spicy and long finish. Drinking now with impressive structure for further evolvement. Probably slightly behind the wonderful ‘09 vintage. A phenomenal QPR wine at the price point, sadly this producer is no longer in existence, ‘09 was the last vintage.

Superb white Burgundies: Brought this as an extra, slow-oxed for five hours. Most guessed Chambolle because of the superb floral nose that had just the right amount of lift and VA. Palate had pretty, if a little rustic fruit. A 1999 at its peak now. My first time trying this maker and he definitely had the magic touch.
Very dense, cranberry color. Not opaque but certainly cloudy. The nose is bursting with bright cherry fruit. A hearty burgundy that is deep and full. Lacks elegance but has great fruit and spice on the palate. Works well if paired with the right food. Could sit a few more years to reach peak. (88)

Probably a little old. Not much fruit left but some interesting secondary characteristics, particularly bacon. Great balance.
