Very nice again, actually hasn't changed that much since my note two years ago. Slightly more open but still improves with air, I'd recommend an hour decant if possible. This is all tart red fruit and rocky minerality in the mouth accompanied by a lovely red cherry nose. Still some upside here I think.

Decent for what it is. Good minerality and acidity, a bit thin on the fruit and earthiness, but overall well balanced. Nothing special, but a good utility Beaune that accomplishes what one expects.

ruby red, ripe strawberry, cranberry and a bit of straw/barnyard notes on the nose. Palate was medium bodied, a bit of minerality and acidity that followed through to a chalky tannin on the finish. Nice tart mouth-feel. Very solid, but I don't have a huge volume of experience with burgundies to compare to, but definitely more "old world" than even some of the "oldest world" American Pinot I've had.

Rich nose and dripping nice strawberries with a little minerally dust left behind, just shy of medium-bodied. Hit the Burgundy sweet spot for me. Regret having only 10 bottles left.

Sweet raspberry nose with a touch of Smarties (American style). Light to medium bodied with medium+ acidity. A mix of tart and sweet raspberry and cranberry fruit. Pronounced chalky minerality that coats the mouth along with light tannins. This seems likely to improve but I doubt it will ever be great.
