  A lovely, round, flavorsome Bourgogne. As good as it will be.

  Good structure but lacks fruit. Similar assessment to last time. Acid quite high. It’s structure worked with a flavourful ravioli dish but the remaining bottle should be drunk.

  Restrained dark fruits nose.
  Less expressive on the palate. Quite high acid. For me, disappointing. I'm leaving the other two for a few years, given Ben Leroux has made it.

  Acidic yes. Almost tingly feeling but for some reason I like it. Gamey and leathery and earthy tasting. Much more on the nose than palate. Perfectly suited for watching the election unfold.
