In a quiet phase here between youth and maturity- very little fruit or secondary development. Was a real stunner 6 or 7 years ago and I will be interested to see where the remaining bottle goes. Lovely wine.

Lovely aged burg. I cannot believe Burghound gave it an 86 way back in 2002. The solid tannins are now rolled into an elegant and tasty bottle. Wish I had more.

This was a stunning bottle. Lovely nose with a strong sense of minerality, olives. A mix of dark and red fruits with iron. Quite complex. Surprising acidity for the vintage, it gives plenty of energy to the wine. Firm but at the same time giving a lot on the palate. It sometimes reminds me of a classic Hermitage with those ink notes. Long finish. Great wine.

Loads of acid, ample fruit, very young still, plenty of life ahead.

Interesting full bodied and masculine burgundy. Spice with minerals and stones in balance with cherry fruit. Very well balanced.
