  Great precision, exuberance, and tension in a savory and earthy, red fruited flavor profile. A touch of salinity in the finish. This is great already and probably will get a bit better (96-97)

  Cola/ruby core, some bricking to rim
  
  Shows a distinct smoky note on the nose – smoked bacon, bacon fat, a creaminess… super expressive and sweetly perfumed with a peppery and savoury lift. Notes of soft leather, there is some new wood here too, all sorts of sous bois, black raspberry, leaf… loads! Sumptuous red fruits, sensational sandy/speckled quality -like an atomised spray.
  
  Full-bodied and silky, almost creamy, super definition, great energy. Earthy spice and sweetness, it undulates and shows tension. Sense of vertical scale, the tannins have some very fine grip giving a near seamless texture, just a little chew.
  
  On return: the nose is spellbinding. Earth and graphite, some new wood, perfumed freshly washed hair (!)… spice… so much!
  
  Wine of the night, a memorable experience and it clearly has decades ahead of it. Wow.

  Good but closed still. Layered, dark fruit, earthy, opened up more and more in the decanter. Upside form here, probably best after 2027.

  This was first slightly closed, took a good 2-3 hours in the decanter to open up but wow was this great. First austere, but layered, deep and complex, with notes of red and darker red berries, some dark graphitey/mineral notes, animalic notes, some rose petals, violets, also some underwood, spices, some smoke. It‘s medium-full bodied, super silky, with some medium+ tannin that is incredibly silky, some medium-high acidity and excellent overall balance and complexity. Long finish with fantastic complexity that is building up. Great Burgundy of the very highest level. This could use another 5 years or so in the cellar.

  "90th" Joint Birthday: Mixed spice, raspberry, red currant and roses on the nose. Pretty and delicate on the palate, with beautiful balance. Fine and finessed profile, this is at a lovely approachable point now but can obviously also develop further.
