Decanted briefly. Youthful with intense and viscous herbed red fruit on the palate and very long finish. Light perfume, strong but accessible tannins. Clearly a superbly made wine with premium fruit and showed well but probably better with more age and there's no more to be had. :( I love/hate Burgundy.

Very strange, maybe faulty as this was so stemy and herbal and tobacco-ish that I thought it could have been a dirty Oregon PN. Red fruits burried underneath. Blind tasting at Monopole

Too much animal and barnyard with almost zero of the long finish I associate with a great Burgundy. Lacks minerality which I feel also lends to disappointing finish. As it opened up over a few hours my wife and I noticed something special was really trying to break through but we both agreed for a $150 Grand Cru this one was DOA - kind of a dud.
