  Very good at this point, lots of black and red fruit, some spice, after some time open starts to show the first tertiary notes, mostly earthy. Well structured but definitely starting to show its elegant side

  My my... This has changed quite a bit since I last had it more than 2-yrs ago. While it hasn’t totally shaken off its tight/tannic structure, it’s gotten quite fine actually; Started with a somewhat bright floral note interweaved with dark-red berries & tinges of spice that wouldn’t made me guessed NSG have I had it double-blind. Palate is also more giving & showing this time round - silky with good density, it also had slight notes of earth & minerality that made it maintain a good freshness/balance. Must say that I’m pleasantly surprised by how it’s developed! Keen to see how this will turn out with more cellar ageing...

  Nez floral et épicé, conifères, discret mais racé, envoûtant. Tendu et un peu serré, avec un magnifique fruit derrière et une belle finesse de tanins, qui évoquerait un grand cru. Pas mal d’élevage, mais c’est un vin aérien et très charmeur, délicieux. 93 pts

  Dinner at Ming Kee.
  
  A tad reticent when served... this came across a bit rustic, with very faint scents of flowers developing after prolonged time in glass. Also gained more focus & clarity. At this juncture, I don't think I get the purity and appeal that I do with winemakers like Fourrier, Duroche, Gibourg etc... May still get better with more bottle-age...

  Lunch d'anniversaire du Baron: Nez discret mais raffiné. Magnifique bouche avec une finesse de tanins qui n'appartient, croyais-je, qu'aux grands crus de la Côte de Nuit. Je fus très étonné au dévoilement, ce fut la dernière commune que nous avons nommée, par élimination.
  
  C'est un vin aérien, très savoureux, avec beaucoup d'éclat et une grande minéralité. Il m'évoque un grand cru ou un Chambolle de très haut niveau, de part la qualité de ses tanins. Plus exubérant que le premier, moins long et profond certes, mais tellement charmeur à ce stade que je l'ai légèrement préféré en l'état. Un vin envoûtant. 94+ pts
