Really excellent. Vibrant mature Pinot nose, fruity, hint of sweet spices. Medium-light body, good depth, some complexity, excellent length. Beets on aftertaste. Some acid on finish after 1.5 hours. Perfect now. Best yet. 91. I'm stunned.

‘Les Vaudenelles’ har sit eget liv og er nu proppet op så vi kan undersøge hvordan det had været. En klart behagelig vin med varme jordnuancer og en god skovbærstruktur. Udvikler sig til mere modne bar med nødder, forårsløg og peber - da den slutter med figner kan man næsten ikke overraskes mere. En rigtig god vin som har haft det godt og har nydt at være her.

Oh dear. After my ravings below, something's happened and I don't know what it is. Maybe the moon's in a sulk but this wine has fallen off a cliff. The nose only hints at the strengths it had before, the palate is lifeless and the wine then tails off like a bad excuse leaving the building. Far from buying or consuming with confidence, treat with care! The producer is so reliable, the vintage so highly thought of and BC's wines from Marsannay generally so charming, I hope this is a temporary blip and unlucky alignment of the planets. And this is the result of five or six bottles, not one which may have been excusable. Proceed with caution.

Lys rød med vandkant. Aromaer af lette skovbær let krydret, smag lette skovbær med syre - frisk eftersmag med lidt syre.

Let rød med vandkant, kirsebæraroma let krydret, smag let kirsebær (sure) - frisk eftersmag en anelse tannin. Ikke nogen stor Bourgogne.
