Still youthful and firm, but approachable. Very detailed, yellow fruit, minerality, smokey. On the palate tight and compact, wonderful acidity, great fruit. Very intense, very layered with wonderful depth and length. Fantastic. (Drink or) keep. 96-97+

I really enjoyed this. At first, I was very suprised by the developed nature. Quite dark (especially next to 2003 Krug and 2000 Leflaive). Lots of marzipan, biscuits and savoury notes. Some caramel. Lovely full mouthfeel with air. But I cannot help but feel this was advanced for its age.

Dinner at Ma Cuisine (Beaune): Popped-and-poured, this really took almost two hours to show its best. Started off ripe, fleshy and incredibly concentrated with too much baby fat, but also too much acidity. This was enjoyable at first, albeit strict. By the end, it was still so concentrated with wonderful balance. Better to cellar another few years, best 2022-2034+.

Served after a 2000 Raveneau Montee de Tonnerre. This was a nice counterpoint to the Raveneau, very stylish with plenty of creamy oak, though met with good stuffing and electric fruit as well. Needed 1-2 hours to open and a good chill to show its best.

Tasting: Just slightly oaked, I actually thought this was a high quality Chablis. Great.
