Tasted at an Allen Meadows event. With twelve years under the belt, the the colour is showing deeper rusty red colour. When you bring the gem to the nose, you will see the complexity of the wine, with spices like peppers, earth-tone, minerals, and a hint of perfume. Once you taste the wine, the nose follows through to the taste, with added blackberries, cigar/tabacco, herbal tea, chocolate and coffee. The wine is quite tannic, likely from the high percentage of stems used by Nicolas Potel. There are certainly still potential to age and I do like the style of the wine.

Quite rich, concentrated, rather plummy fruit; good length, with a slight hardness on the finish. This lacks the usual slightly racy character of the best Burgundy, but that's the vintage.

lovely wine - certainly mature but has nice harmony to it if a tiny bit jammy - good for a few years yet

Ripe, slightly sweet, with good fruit, depth and balance. A good effort for the vintage.
