Drinking quite well, of the terroir and spicy bright red fruit well balanced nice tannic base and medium finish. Plenty of furlongs left to this thoroughbred.

Better second night than the first, when I was tempted to write it off as unexpressive and overly acidic. Second night, fruit opened up a bit and showed great class. Still the oak is evident on the palate. I'd wait at least another 2 or 3 years before approaching again.

This 2002 is developing very nicely. Full color. On the palate, firmer than some Chambolles and less exuberantly fruity. Good texture. There's a sense of earthy fruitiness which hopefully will intensify over the next few years. This could become very interesting but it's fine to drink now, too.

Delicious. Extremely mineral, good. On entration of rich sweet strawberry and cherry. Dusty, tannins resolving. Should be terrific in 5 more years.
