This if anything has improved. Same great flavor profile, lots of cherry, some hints of eucalyptus, tar/pitch pine, and black birch... Still underlying acidity to give it cut and just a little bit of meanness. Clarity for days, the flavors are precise and real, but knit together beautifully. Absolutely lovely.

Truly beautiful Burgundian expression of pinot noir. Underlying sweetness and tarry flavors, heavy, heavy sweet/tart cherries with just a hint of menthol. Love.

Brittannia Group (Hix Mayfair): Beautiful refined firm and long so classy and elegant. The mineral structure keeps the wine tracking through the palate combined with the crunchy fruit of the vintage. glorious

(Fourrier Griotte-Chambertin) After the Clos St.Jacques the aromatics are of deeper, tighter but also softer red fruit. The palate is more concentrated but significantly simpler, though covers the faintly astringent tannin very well. A smoothly long finish. At this stage it is deceptively simple and ‘cute’ after the CSJ - but such is Griotte. Still a lovely wine.
(Fourrier Griotte-Chambertin) This is medium/medium-plus cherry red. Quite a high toned nose, slightly floral, but despite the double decanting comes across as a little closed. The palate is anything but, lovely depth to the fruit and super balance. I'm so pleased I bought some of these after an en-primeur tasting in January this year!
(Fourrier Griotte-Chambertin) Medium-plus cherry. Whilst quite reticent, this is still a nose to fall into. Lovely very pure fruit with medium-plus tannins and very good acidity. I liked this a lot - Fine.

This is soo lovely - plush, driven raspberry and red cherry nose with coriander, cumin, and a touch of game. Lots of impact yet so light. Lovable.

Nice evolution, a little bit closed. Very pure Pinot characters.
