Ripe blackberry fruit, touch of reduction and dried fruit (blueberries?) saline and greenbriar, mellow grip. 13.5% Alc. Maybe not a serious/complex wine for the ages, but a nice glass, easy to like right now. As others have noted, drinks approachable and young, so would not hurt to give it time.

This drinks much younger than I expected, closed still. Ripe fruit core with mainly red fruit. Lavender and oleander scents as well, discrete oak spice. Good freshness. Young, try again in 5 years.

I expect this wine has a very bright future, and will become truly excellent when secondary notes emerge. However, it's quite a pleasure to drink in the primary phase. Dark fruit, seamless but deep and lingering.

Lovely fruit and spice, youngish but drinking well and plenty of runway for development. Big step up from last tasting 5 years ago; time has integrated it well, and it’s pretty accessible for a grand cru of this age.

Rich dark fruits and still some unresolved oak. Give this a lot of air, or even better another 5 years.
