A very fine Cote de Beaune. Elegant tannins, good acidity, a bit too much oak (vanilla and some smoke) for my palate right after opening the bottle, but this blows of with air and I thought it was much nicer on second day. Already some age to the fruit, lightly sweet ripe cherries with hints of plum, quite ferrous and a slightly rustic earthy note. Quite rich and ripe for a Cote de Beaune. Good now, but has enough structure and fruit left to age another 5+ years. - 91 points

@Otto Suensson: Young and handsome wine with a good acidity; full-bodied with lots of red berries; long aftertaste.

Quite nice intensity and smoothness for the vintage, excellent balance. Bit less rustic and rough than some other Cote de Beaune 12s.

La Paulée de New York Grand Tasting (Metropolitan Pavilion - New York NY): Tasting, brief note. Good cross-section of red and black berry with a hint of liqueur. Firm tannins that show a few rough edges right now. Cellar for 5 years.
