In magnum, ready to go. Even a tad of tawny color on the edges. Delicious though quite straightforward, as their fruit-forward style can be. Not New World, but fruit pleasing and not complex. Definitely a Villages wine and enjoyable with food. Gevrey rusticity a bit, but mostly just soft, sweet Pinot tones with an age-tinged middle red fruit profile. Drink up.

This bottle is in a very spot right now. Lots of fresh fruit on palate and interesting nose of “forest floor”, liqorice, tobacco and leather. With a little tannin added, this could be mistaken for an elegant Barolo.

This ‘14 is in a tricky place tights now (2024). It is near end of life, IMO, but still needs some air to open (15-40 in glass). Drink last bottle asap (tough job 🙈😂)

Sour cherries, tobacco and Liquorice. Light and maybe a bit closed - been in the glass for a few hours. Will save half bottle for tomorrow. Would buy again at price around 40 Eur.

Nice, easy. Mature bottle. Drink before 2024…
Edit: opens nicely after a few hours. Decant or slow-ox next bottles.
