Very good but not worth the high price; luckily I paid a lot less for it at the time. Dark for a Burgundy of that age which shows that he goes for ripeness. Indeed the palate is round, smooth, accented on dark cherries and ripe berries, oak-infused and though very enjoyable to drink it is simple and I am not sure that this shows any terroir - it's almost New World is style. Time to drink up - this will only lose power and become limpid if you wait too long.

Pop and pour. This is ultimate joy! There is an immediate coolness and delight to the palate. Compared to the 2012 of the same wine this one shows a bit of age, and perhaps a tad less intensity and power. Lots of fruit, spiced and mintyness here too, but more of the smooth muddy kind instead of the razorsharp all-consuming kind of the 2012. But besides that fact, the wine has aged charmfully, and shows the vintage perfectly. At its prime now. It will last for another 5 years at max, before the fruit will start to decline. But right now this is a fantastic wine. Loving it.
