  Fabulous exciting wine. Nose took a little coaxing early on but soon expanded into pure Pinot. Still young the intensity of crunchy red fruit was a good surprise. Long finish. Drinking well now but time ahead.

  Quite nice. Cloudy plum color. Succulent, rounded, good fruit, with pleasing mid palate. Lacking a bit of definition and complexity, but good second tier Gevrey from a very good vineyard. Good from now.

  deep colour bright and very young appearance. Ripe fruit on nose with good minerality. Palate bright lively plenty of depth but the austerity to last and improve. Consistent with previous bottles. Lovely wine

  Pretty consistent with previous notes - more open than my last bottle. Semi-transparent garnet colour, lots of strawberries, some cherry liqueur, and some earthy tones. Nice mineral character and fine structure. Enjoyed this with Japanese BBQ. For me this is just entering its drinking window, which will go on for at least several years.

  A bit variable, opening and shutting over the course of 2 days. Most open ~36 hours after opening - the wine is smoky, meaty, and primary. Red fruited, with hints of cherry liqueur. Good balance of sappiness and medium acidity. Perhaps not a perfect bottle, with an elevated cork and some signs of seepage.
