Beau nez mais discret, floral, fruit rouge. La bouche est assez puissante, évoquant un Gevrey avec une finale fringante, encore tannique, mais dont les tanins sont fins. Plus séveux que gourmand en l’état, il a besoin d’air. Il s’épanouit en une heure, devient plus juteux, prend de l’allonge. C’est bon et long, mais structuré, il n’a pas le charme et l’élégance du 2015. 90 pts

Quite tannic still, no signs of secondary development. Cherries and red plums on the palate, quite intense and powerful, but no excess sweetness. Somewhat similar to nebbiolo stylistically.

Joli nez qui pinotte, fruit noir, charmeur. Bouche puissante et mûre, épicée, pas encore très ouverte. Il a du fond, mais il faut le revoir dans 3-5 ans. 90++
Ma douce l’a trouvé délicieux, moins fermé que moi.

Still primary, fresh and very youthful. It is round and dense with sweet dark fruits. It has good volume and power and flavours are carried by a line of mienrally acid and sinewy tannins.

Wonderfully engaging nose of black cherries, smoke, violets and mineral. It is dense and velvety and flows across the palate in a most sensual way. Despite the wine's plushness you get great clarity and the finish really fans out and persistence of flavor is admirable.
