  Vinøs hyttetur; 9/30/2022-10/1/2022: Blind. Mørk frukt, noe støvete mot papp - men mener dette ikke er TCA, tanninrik. Fin balanse og en god vin, men dagens priser er jo helt hinsides.

  Very dark in colour. Very oaky and the fruits are hidden. It needs 5-10 years for the oak and fruits to be integrated. It was better after 4 hours in decanter but still it needs much more time.

  Powerful from PnP with an expressive nose of ripe blackcurrant, wet soil, forest moss, vanilla from the use of plenty new oak. On the palate ripe cherry and blackcurrant, hint of tobacco and vanilla. Some stony minerality. The new oak made appearance toward the finish, not yet integrated. A super long finish (could actual still taste it several hours later when gone to bed, even that I had brushed my teeth before). On the second day more integrated and the fruit spanning from cherry and blackcurrant to rhubarb and some notes of strawberries toward the finish. Nice complexity. The edge of new oak more in the shadow now. Surely a wine with character and a wine that will develop for another decade of cellaring. At this point 93-94+ P
  This bottle was my first opened from a mixed lot of 2010´s that I brought home from a visit at the Domaine in November 2012. I clearly remember the tasting in the cellar with an at that time very young Charles Lachaux. He just renewed the cellar; it was all clean, lean and modern with lights in the floor etc. Some contrast to a typical burgundy cellar. The young Charles appeared to me as very ambitious and self-confident. The wine described here is like a mirror of my memory of that November afternoon in 2012 in the cellar: Very well defined, ambitious, confident, powerful, lean structure.

  Nez magique de fruits rouges et noirs, de rose et d'épices. Bouche ultra soyeuse, racée et profonde. Tout ce qu'on peut attendre d'un vosne 1er cru y est. Prêt à boire mais se gardera 10-15 ans encore.

  A very smooth and seductive wine. Lots of perfume, violets and floral notes. Definitely more fruit than oak, and I was amazed this was a 2010 when unveiled given this was drinking so well. Lovely wine that is drinking fine now, but will keep another decade plus. From KB
