  Double decanted an hour before dinner. Lush fruit and spice on the nose. Palate is nicely weighted with full red fruit. Drinking nicely, but seems like a bit of an underachiever for the vintage and cuvée. Hopefully will gain more depth with additional cellar time.

  Paulee wedding lunch at Nicolas. Friendly pour from the next table.
  Was a pop and pour at the lunch, so perhaps lacked the benefit of air like the previous bottle I drank before. A tad less showy.

  Dark, brooding cherry on nose and in mouth. Savory, earthy notes. Great depth , length and finish. Young wine that will likely develop complexity over time.

  Popped, and had it breathed in bottle for at least an hour before serving. A rustic, animal-type nose emerged from the glass, amidst scents of dark-red cherries & sandalwood/cedar. Blinded, it didn't seem apparent that this hailed from Burgundy. Onto the palate, this showed rather magnificently qualitatively, definitely one of power in a velvet glove, that transcends intensity in a rather weightless manner. Light, agile, satiny yet packed full of coiled intensity. More dark-red cherries & meat flavours abound, held together in almost aristocratic structure. This actually tightened up with more air and got a bit more "stern/over-serious", that was almost comparable when tasted beside a '04 LMHB 😂. In any case, will be interesting to see how this will turn out with more years of cellar-age...

  GC Grand Cru lunch. Drank in Zalto Burg glass. Tasted semi-blind.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of animal meat, red cherries, dark red cherries, nice oak spice. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), fine high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of dark meat, dark red cherries, black cherries, dark milk chocolate, sweet oak spices. Very long persistent finish.
  Excellent quality. Grand Cru gravitas. Complex and lots of substance. Still young and will need time to develop more although it is already so good. Imagine my score will be even better if I taste this a few years down the road.
