Vock Syl) Magnum!) Richtig toller Stoff! Kann mich nicht erinnern, schon mal einen PN mit so voller und warmer Frucht getrunken zu haben. Dachte erst, das ist ein Merlot oder Shiraz. Der Wein ist aber nicht mächtig (nur 13,5% alc), sondern schön focussiert und nach hinten raus geradezu elegant. Eine echte Entdeckung. Macht richtig Spaß und versöhnt mich vielen unerfreulichen PN-Begegnungen der letzten Jahre: schön, mal keine kargen Zedernscheit oder herbstlichen Waldboden abgeschleckt zu haben… 96PP (++, voererst Reserve für den 1erCru)

This is a WOW for a village wine. My second bottle, but consistent tasting notes. Very powerful and brooding. Easily could pass for an great 1er cru with depth, black fruit, tarry/roasted notes. Drinking wonderfully but I'm sure will last another few years.

Burgundy, Day 1 (Beaune, France): Includes the Clos Prieur 1er cru, and 60% whole cluster. The stems seem to give this a little more aromatic lift versus the other three "lesser" wines. This is still a fairly black profile and the thing that stands out here for me are the tannins, which are quite grainy and prominent on the finish.

Barrel Tasting at Sylvie Esmonin with Sylvie (Gevrey Chambertin - Clos St Jacques): Includes some 1er fruit and averages over 60 year old vines. More intensely aromatic with meat spice, stem and florals. Rich but with great energy and balancing structure. Fun now, but should reward 5-10 years of cellaring. 92+
