  It's the same bottle as Melvin. Drinking well. I didn't manage to follow it over time, either. It is definitely my type of wine, a bolder, more concentrated burgundy but oozing terroir, very easily recognizable as Bonnes Mares.

  Mainly Vosne and Chambolle GCs: Clearly BM but didn’t recognise this as a Laurent. Rich, old-school Burgundy with integrated oak. Very good but unfortunately didn’t get a chance to revisit and have more of an impression.

  Grand Crus > 20 years CT gathering at IT-SPDP. Tasted blind. Drank in Grassl Cru. Moderate TCA cork taint, enough to dull the aroma and flavours.
  But one does get the sensation that there is strong structure and big fruit.

  Grand Crus > 20 years: Unfortunately corked, but had a lovely texture.

  Did not take long to open up. Drinking extremely well right now and completely accessible. Such depth and richness on the palate, yet very soft and elegant. Fruit is very ripe and pure. An excellent Burgundy in its sweet spot now.
