Sooooooo perfumed, more elegant and less dense version of Leroy. Power, stemmy (which resembles DRC somewhat), earthy, red fruit, cherry, spice. Intoxicating nose at least 96 points. Palate softer, very expressive but nowhere near the peak. 94-95+

While still a decade or more away from real drinkability, one can see this trending in the right direction. Significantly structure, and yet already wonderfully complex. 95+

Dinner at Auberge du Pot d'Etain (L'Isle sur Serein - France): Superbly bright red cherry start-to-finish, both sweet and tart. Plus some black cherry notes from middle-to-finish. Air starting bringing out savory spice, then baking spice as well with even more time in glass. Incredibly elegant with sneaky power emerging as the evening moved forward. Just a baby, but incredibly enticing with a long life going forward.

Salon Focofi Paris walkabout and dinner, so no detailed tasting notes. Like the Ruchottes next to it, this felt very light as well, some herbal notes.

Pretty, quite charming palate. Not giving a lot aromatically as cold plus pop and pour.
