  7 months since my last bottle and this has not moved. Would suggest to decant at this point in time as there is again a fair bit of residual CO2 which takes some time to settle. Nice nose, but like last time am a bit underwhelmed by the palate for a 2015 VR 1er Cru. Neither complex nor particularly aromatic at this point in time, still showing some wood spices. The finish is of good length though. 91 seems about right for the time being. CT says I have another 6 bottles so will be able to follow this for some time.

  Needs a lot of time right now to come around, so give it a long decant or wait.
  
  Medium garnet. PnP impression is it's showing very reserved. Spice, no traces of any heat. Delicate entry, almost medium in body. Light red berry fruit, refreshing acid. More open after just 20 minutes of bottle air with aromas of bright cherry.
  
  4 hours late and the palate finally hit but still holding something back.
  
  N2: Palate has more weight and showing more concentration. The last glass on N2 is what I'd hoped this would be from the start. It went from an 88 on the PnP to near 93 at the end of N2.

  Ripe blackberry fruit, mellowing medium tannins, low-med acid and a bit of woodsy sting. 13.5% Alc.
  This is a s soft and easy drinker without a lot of hard edges. Sippable to the bottom of the bottle. Try it on any Pinotphile.

  Two years since my last bottle. Pnp. Starts with a fair bit of residual CO2. Fragrant fine wood spices on the nose, sweet dark and red fruit on the palate. Good typicity and clearly VR but could do with a bit more delineation. Short to medium finish.
  
  PS: Improves with more air. More savory and round on the palate with plenty of spices, and the residual CO2 is gone too. Nice, and upgraded my rating from 91 to 92

  Very nice on PNP. No decant needed.
