The mineral character is coming through more prominently now - there is an unmistakable stoniness here, underlining the ripe and elegant fruit. lovely wine, well balanced and delicious.

Mmmm, crunchy black fruits, a whisper of caramel oak and a bit of spice. While still somewhat primary, the oak has integrated well since last tasted in barrel at the domaine and the wine is beginning to show some nascent complexity. Always pure and well made, just great for its level.

lovely perfume of pure ripe dark fruit, and with a little air there are interesting spice, smoke and herbal notes. Even with a few hours of air, though, the nose is not entirely open. sweet spicy dark fruit and a gamy undertone on the palate. It is impeccably pure and fresh and just a pleasure to drink, and it is balanced and transparent. a truly fine bourgogne.

Crunchy dark red fruit, some spice, balanced. Really tasty right now. My discrete CT scale: 95-extraordinary; 90-very good; 85-good; 80-fair; 75-poor

This was a lot of acidic fruit and very little dimension. Not sure what to make of it.
