  Been 4-1/2yrs since my first of 2 and this has added some intriguing tertiary notes, resolved oak & excellent overall balance. Underbrush, berries & violets on the nose. Pretty red fruit, spice, mineral and more underbrush on an elegant, finessed palate. This is remarkably good now for the $39 I paid for it. Really helps the value that the fruit comes from the less celebrated and chased Cote Chalonnaise. I'm going to seek out more of this vintage if any is around or grab a more recent release. 13.5% alc. Opened 3-1/2 hrs prior to dinner and slow oxed in 2 Riedel Burg glasses & btl w/ cork out.

  This wine has evolved well. Might be one of the better 2015s. Shows a perfect balance of earth and stems with ripe fruit of the vintage. A nice, restrained finish of spice (sort of a wine version of cloves and coriander) on top of the rest. Excellent.

  Very pretty, almost forward red fruit, with not so subtle floral undertones and round, earthy, sous bois notes. Very good depth and concentration for its level. Quite nice and an acceptable qpr. Was drinking well almost immediately after opening.

  Much improved and rounded out compared to our last tasting a few years ago. Murky, crimson color. Nose brings fresh strawberries, cherry blossoms, tart rhubarb, and grape compote. The palate is medium, round, tangy, and viscous (with good weight), bringing tart cherries, bitter cherry pit, pomegranate, wood smoke, and blackberries, raspberries, and cloves into a refined, tannic finish. Drink 2022-2028. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 92.
