Drunk with beef casserole for lunch. 13%. Deep dark dulled garnet. Farmyard, pot-pourri, sour cherries, dark forest fruits and mushroom. Previous bottles have been too tannic and rough but this is now beginning to mellow and gain better balance. It is robust rather than elegant. Good acidity, still some fruit, softening tannins and nice length. Best bottle yet - no rush.

Reduced on the nose. 1st taste was a bit mellow, thick, even slight cream/avocado. After open 40+ minutes became more typical Nuits. Rustic, complex, tannic, structure with enough fruit to match the backbone. Would drink now. And, certainly before 2024. Less finesse or elegance compared to a Nuits 1er Cru, but excellent none the less.

got better with more time...amazing layers and nice balance...sour cherry, oak, and nuts...at its peak and later, a 96...but also faded a little bit at the end with less complexity. a lot of great terroir--mushrooms, nutty, earthy, yum!

Opened and let breath an hour before pouring. Some funkiness/ closed at first but quickly opened up and smoothed out. A big, dark PN with very slight browning on edges. Nose of cherry and earth and subdued oak. Cherry dominates the old world flavor.some oak, chocolate, minerals/limestone, and smooth tannins round out the flavor evolution. Long appealing finish. Good QPR.

Popped and poured. Dark cherry and earth on the nose. Red cherry fruit on the palate. High acidity makes this quite sappy. Notes of limestone, earth, smoked meat and clove. Moderate finish with smooth tannins. Very nice. Good QPR.
