  Red fruits and violets with forest floor and a hint of clove. Of course lovely but perhaps not a super exciting burgundy for me personally. This may have been an expectations issue on my part. Nicely structured but not particularly long (though I don't think it's nearing the end of it's drinking window, if I had another bottle I'd be tempted to push it and see what happens). (91/92)

  This was showing very well - crisp alpine strawberries, violets, white pepper and truffle on the nose. Soft, juicy and sleek, with silky tannins. A little bit of grip at the back suggests it has further to go. Very red-fruited and classic, if without marked complexity.

  Lovely nose, mid weight
  Ready to go - don’t sense any bitterness or tart notes like a couple of other notes but I feel
  It’s just very average.
  No real finish at all and quite cool / weak on the mid to end profile enjoyable enough but plenty of other French and new world options that will blow this away at the price, which isn’t terrible for burgundy.
  
  To be fair some time in glass does give it a bit more so it may improve but still don’t think it’s that great.

  And here is the Burgundy experience in a single bottle; the flush of expectation; a good producer; 10 years in bottle; 60 quid dropped; what can possibly go wrong?
  
  Well, lots and also not much. The base materials are there - there is no doubt this WILL be a good wine, just that right now it is grumpy and bitter and angular BUT with occasional whiffs of all that lovely Burgundian stuff that we all love.
  
  60 quid wasted? Well, if I had my time again I'd spend it on something else. However, if this was opened in another 5 years time I'd probably be raving about it.
  
  Plus ca change....

  Very 2013 and enjoyable for the bright, crisp fruit. I prefer the 2012 as it has more depth but this is very nice - would be drinking now. B+
