  Autumn leaves, sour cherry, sweetly fruited yet somehow earthy silty tannin. Ample length. Quality and a pleasure to drink.

  Earth and cherry and Autumn leaves and spice including a touch of Dutch licorice. Excellent balance, ample length. Silky slippery Pinot joy. Fruit is at its most intense in the chalky tannins on the finish. Enjoyed this! Big nose on opening, decanted for 30 mins before having a sip, and the bottle improved through the two hours it took to be emptied... so a couple more years won’t hurt, but this is good to go now I think.

  Drinking very well. Served at a family reunion with no detailed notes.

  Still tightly wound and ‘high pitched’. Lean and long. Hasn’t changed much in the last 3-4 years. This wine should develop in something quite special (given that it’s from Mercurey).

  Still tightly wound with lots of acid. Needs more time. A bit rustic at the moment.
