  Unheralded vintage. This wine exudes great fruit. Trust the producer in Burgundy. Drinking at peak, I expect this wine to hold, but not improve. Well balanced wine with impeccable extraction. Drink now or hold for 5 years or more.

  Clear red, clear edge, medium thick and very slow drops. Red cherry, wood, undergrowth, toasted oak, red apple and raspberry nose. Red cherry, vanilla, cedar wood and tobacco taste. Pleasant fruit, some acidity, tannins still grip the teeth. A complex wine that probably has years still ahead of it.

  Pale red, clear edge, long slow drops. Blackberry, black cherry, cedar wood, vanilla, graphite / pencil shavings, lilac nose. Blackberry, cedar wood, undergrowth taste. Fruit, quite tannic, nice acidity. Pleasing interplay between fruit, acidity and tannic structure. Needed to breathe, should keep for ages.

  Dark ruby. Tart strawberries and orange peel on the nose. Medium bodied, mouth coating, with a long, tart finish. Clean and precise flavours, but lacking complexity. 13%abv.

  This has some dark fruit on the nose with some floral undertones that are quite pretty; On the palate, this is still a bit closed off, with some earthy dark fruits and minerals, but also a fair bit of tannin clamping down; I would recommend a long decant if drinking now and that these will only improve with more time
