Like the 08, very fresh and acidic, with sappy fruit and perhaps a more floral nose. The fruit is a blend of red cherry and redcurrant, very appealing but at this stage, just lacking a little charm compared to the 08.

There's a hint of brett, but otherwise good freshness and ripeness to the bright purple fruit. The tannins provide a lot of earthy grip, but structurally the tannins are bit out in front of the fruit, and I wonder if this has the concentration for further aging.

Simply beautiful nose of earth, red berries, gentle bell pepper and crushed stone. Similar flavors on the medium weight palate. The fruit is ripe, juicy but no exaggeration to its ripeness. Bright acid throughout giving energy and lift. Young vines limit the depth of the fruit but there is airy complexity and the length is good if not extraordinary. Balanced. As advertised, this is very Burgundian in style. Lovely expression of CF in a lighter weight expressive style. Enjoyable now but will keep. Bought on release.

Beautiful balance between red raspberry fruit, dusty stone and green herbs. Still quite tannic, but at a nice spot with minimal air. Will clearly go the distance.
