"This is a wine I imagine people make in prison" (Chicago, IL): An absolutely gorgeous bottle of Burgundy, it's hard to imagine how this wine could show better. The nose is fruit-forward, with a mix of red and black fruit and a less prominent note of earthiness. There's a sweetness to the fruit that works incredibly well in this wine. The palate is firm but also generous, again thanks to all the fruit here. The structure is still quite apparent, but supple enough to provide some very enjoyable drinking. While there may yet be more peaks in the future, the bottle today was definitely at one of these highs.

(at Costata – NYC) Lovely nose – mature red fruit with fall leaves and a slight meatiness. Palate is bold yet silky – more velvet to be truthful. A mineral bite on the back-end – could use a bit more on the finish. Very good for sure and well-priced on the list. Nose is the star here. (91)
