Tasted next tho Pacalet's 2012 GC 1er Cru La Perrière. A little less expressive in comparison, a little stemmy, red fruit, spices, earth. Mineral on the palate, good fruit and freshness, nicely balanced. Long. 90-92

Allowed 2 hours of breathing and served in a 4 hours dinner. Spices and fruity bouquet without oak influence. Textural but still a little tight which make the palate not clean and precise enough. Still on the upside.

Muscular and blooming fruity. Other realms, such as minerality, acidity, and floral, were all in subtle forms. Lack finesse. Will age my second bottle for a few years at least to hope for more elegance.

OCC from UK upon release, first bottle. Very good bottle condition. Classy CM nose, sexy &attractive. Medium plus body with good structure and dry extracts. Quite balance and very long after taste. Well expressed the feeling of iron fist in a glove. Should be better & better with cellar time.

Hay, perfume, fresh strawberries, skins of dark fruits. Palate opens onto deep, waxy, well-aged prunes. Closes with a cleansing fruity acidity.
The elegant yet powerful acidity hits just right.
Somehow reminds me of a recent scotch tasting I had - nose of little mill, palate of jura.
