  Incredible seductive nose with dark ripe berries, some violets and soft forest floor notes. On the palate dark and ripe raspberries, blueberries, young cherries, lots of dried herbs and some soft oaky notes. Medium (+) bodied with a nice and perfectly balanced medium intense acidity. The tannins are silky and completely integrated. Fantastic fruit structure, quite modern style. Very sexy and seductive. Great overall complexity and a beautiful balance. The finish is super long.
  A fantastic wine which is getting into a good spot now. You don’t have to hurry, it has the potential to age gracefully for at least another 15 years. (IG)

  - Wow, vibrant fruit, red raspberries, strawberries, you notice the precision and simply round and open from the beginning.
  - It has everything it needs on the palate. Still has a little too noticeable wooden influence, which could be better integrated. Whole-grape fermentation is also noticeable! Well made precise burgundy wine!!

  this is nice to sniff, very laser-sharp red fruit aromas, overwhelming and intense strawberries, rasberries and red cherries, almost cooked. usually I dont like cooked flavours, but this was nice and elegant. i can find some wooden notes, but very very on the background.
  
  on the palate very nice and intense, well made and balanced, elegant and feminine but still present tannins.
  this is rather modern and reminded me of meo camuzet on the frist sip, not very traditional.

  After 30 min this opened up and showed tremendously. Oak spice, red fruit, earthy elements herbs and whole cluster. Very complex, may be a touch too much oak but the package works. Ripe fruit and good freshness. A grand Burg.
