Breathing in the glass for 30 min. The wine is reaching the mature stage. Nice nose with some mineral, a bit fruit and small flower but overall a bit shy. The palate is fully integrated tannins, some red fruits with smoke, ink and forest floor. Medium body and finishing. Elegant and ready to drink now

The wine is now fully mature, with slight bricking at the rime. I have now consumed 6 of 12 bottles purchased last year at auction, with very consistent notes. A nice mature Burgundy that should be drunk in the next few years. The nose is really nice, showing dark smoky fruit, mineral intensity and considerable floral characters, like rose petals with a touch of clove. On the palate, it is soft, medium bodied and shows musk, red and dark fruits, with good length. With air, it shows some dark, inky and smoky fruit. It is not at all a fruit bomb, and is more a classic medium bodied Burgundy with some elegance and femininity. The wine actually suits the feminine label.

Gracious in smell but more in taste. What a delicious subtile lasting red/cherry taste. Encore gentle power. I’m in love. Leave the next 5 bottles for special occasions the next 5 years.

Red fruited. Mineral, herbs. Nice structure and depth. Moderate tannins for an ’06. Dry finish. 92
