  This has a lovely ethereal texture with delicious cherry fruit and a crunchy, mineral-driven texture. I like the taut finish which is succulent and grippy with lovely notes of red spices and chalky minerals. A more rustic style of Burgundy but it delivers and while still youthful, it's eminently drinkable tonight. 91+

  This is really a classically-styled red Burg with very pure earthy, wild cherry fruit and chalky minerals. The texture is grippy and crunchy with excellent succulence on the long, complex, spice-driven finish. Light on its feet but full of flavor. Seems in mid-age and I like it now for the delicious spicy fruit and perfectly integrated structure.

  Post Wu's blinds. Very pretty and rustic. Nose primarily of dark cherry, with maybe a touch of earth which led everyone to Gevrey. Drinks younger than a 2010; very nice.

  Cherry, raspberries, sous bois, almond, notes of spiced plum; smooth, silky, fruitful, still quite primary, moderate length on finish, pleasing and good; much better and more developed and open than three years ago
