Good purity and concentration of fruit with some slightly meaty undertones. Ripe and dark red cherries, strawberry jam and cranberries come to the fore with peppermint and cinnamon coming through. Pretty and perfumed with a nice elegant style but lacking a bit of complexity and finish was a tad short for me. Great value though for the plot!

Very nice and aged wine, but not living up to grand cru standard (and price) for me. Nice fruit and secondary flavors but misses some complexity and length.

93. This showed quite advanced for the year. Earthy, musty, dark fruit, very Morey, some sour cherry in the mix as well. Good, but I like their 2012 Bonnes Mares much more.

Popped in AM and decanted in afternoon. Was approaching ready at dinner but better next day. Next time would open night before and decant in AM. Will defer to cognoscenti on notes.

Christian Clerget v Georges Lignier shootout (WS): Persistent midpalate of stones, earth and minerals, some surprisingly firm tannins and good acidity.
