  Coravin tasting. Very good. Some maturity. Still plenty of fruit but becoming quite earthy now. Very good with a medium-rare fillet steak although seemed more mature and earthy. Slightly short finish.
  On its own after and much better. I think it's slightly overpowered by the charring on the outside of the steak. It mutes it. Much more complex afterwards.
  Not as good as a Montille Taillepieds 2006, which is much fresher in comparison. This Nuits now takes on a cola note.

  Clear rim, bricking eating a cm or so into the wine. Lovely nose of violets, cherry, leather and a wisp of smoke. Tannins are pretty much resolved, but there's still just a touch to catch on the tip of the tongue and give it a some texture, ripe dark cherry flavour, leather and earthiness, bags of acidity. I like this now, but am wondering if the fruit if starting to lose out to the acidity, as this is my last bottle I'm unlikely to find out, but on that basis drink sooner rather than later.

  Pretty nose of violets and cherry, the tannins were a bit scratchy which let the palate down a bit, leave for another year or more

  Clear, garnet red, lighter rim, orange-brick rim. Clean nose, medium intensity, red fruits, violets, leather. Medium palate, notable acidity and tannins, not yet fully integrated, similar flavours to the nose, quite a dry finish. Medium length. I think this needs more time, but I wonder if it will come round before it loses its fruit.

  Very good. Quite tight on palate but still as open and ready as you would expect for a 2006. Lovely sweet red fruit, some earthiness, great acidity. A typical French food wine. Plenty of life left in this.
