  Good color, deep red with nice clarity on the rim. Earthy nose, some spice and leather. Dark fruits, slightly ripe but interesting layers of dark cherry and some vanilla add complexity. Some sappy intensity to close, but the finish feels a bit short and slightly austere. Mature, on the edge so it’s time to drink up.

  Lovely dark cherry and forest berry fruit, spice, florals, subtle earth notes. Midweighted, sappy and graceful with lovely palate presence, conveying the richness of the year with balance. . More of the same on the palate, with the wood integrated and adding bit of spice. This seems to be drinking very well right now with plenty of time in hand. Outstanding.

  I underestimated this. Truly lovely layered well-made northern Burg. Punching way above its weigh and a crazy-stupid steal at $22/btl. Why didn't I buy more? Clos du Roy should certainly keep pushing for PC status in Marsannay.

  This is a black-fruited crowd pleaser which has enough underbrush character to keep things interesting. Jammy and full as befits the ripeness of the vintage. The oak gets a bit messy on the finish. Tasty but not the most poised.

  On it’s own to start. Nose is faintish but seems right. On the palate this is lovely. It needs a few minutes to open up and is maybe a little cold (14C) but this could be mistaken for a very good Gevrey. It is floral, some sous bois and rust but some hint of liquorice as well. Will be interesting to try this with food. So far very happy with this.
  Great with beef bourguignon and epoisses. Retained good intensity throughout, which can be difficult with a washed-rind cheese. Lovely as well afterwards (hour or two later).
