Muted nose, mostly earth, dirt and stems on the palate. A lot of acid. Bitterness on the backend. Some bricking. Not sure how this will develop in a few years, but today it wasn't that pleasant; definitely expected more from this premier cru. This could be the vintage.

Definitely drinkable now and quite good, but still very primary in aroma, palate and visibly. Cool menthol and lots of violets. Will try the next one in 2-3 years.

Contrairement à la bouteille bue plus tôt la même semaine, celle-ci est superbe, à point, à mi-âge entre le primaire et le tertiaire. Les tannins sont fins, la bouche soyeuse, les épices discrets. On pense, à l'aveugle, à Rousseau! Excellent mais mes 3 bouteilles étaient tellement différentes, je ne sais pas si je vais encaver à nouveau...

1er nez de porto et semble trop évolué en bouche avec des notes tertiaires dérangeantes. Ceci se dissipe en 30 minutes. Ensuite le vin est bon mais trop évolué pour l'âge et nettement différent d'une bouteille qui sera bue quelques jours plus tard.

Powerful wine which would have benefited from decanting. Meaty and ample, with notes of caramel and leather on the nose, it finishes long. Needs some serious food to pair with it.
