(Arlaud Bourgogne La Roncevie) Medium-plus colour with more than a hint of purple at the rim. The nose is (for me) disappointingly more like Beaujolais than pinot - for 60 minutes it’s completely unchanging. If the aromatics don’t really impress, I have to say the palate is a little more interesting: A narrow, lithe entry, quite some depth and dimension plus there’s lovely acidity pushing the finish rather long - probably too long for gamay! Overall I’m a little disappointed - the wine ‘only’ costs around €12 but tastes like a (quite good) €10 Beaujolais - I think it’s sourced from Gevrey vines but I get little sense of pinot, never mind Gevrey. In the interests of fairness I left some for day 2, when it smells more like pinot - still understated, but quite good - it’s well crafted and there are no hard edges. Perhaps then, it will be more interesting in 2-3 years.

Drinking incredibly well after over 17 years in the bottle. At or just past peak !!
After all these years, this mature wine still displays fruit with no flaws. The acid has softened a great deal and integrated into a plush bottle that was very consistent over the two days open. I'm not sure how much longer it will live, it may have gracefully just past the peak. A nearly perfect cork, easily removed. Ruby color with modest oxidation and medium clarity. Consumed over two days. Aromas of pomegranate and caramel. Flavors of cranberry, red cherry, rhubarb, and spice with a medium finish. An ordinary Burgundy in an extraordinary year. This bottle is fighting above its weight class. One more bottle remaining in the cellar. I will drink it soon to validate this tasting note.

In a good place now, still primary, juicy, a bit earthy but very clean.

Quite excellent and at peak. Cherry, plum, silky textured, some well-digested oak. Punches above it’s level, as this vineyard should.

Not so juicy as the previous bottles, but still a good BR aged 10.

I'll repeat myself: "Juicy and persistent BR - way above its station in terms of quality and concentration." Cherry and wet earth on the nose. Silky yet solid mouthfeel. Good length. Amazing for a BR.
