Clear, deep ruby. Fruity and floral nose that is still young but starting to develop. There remains some oak notes. Medium acidity and tannins, with a medium to full bodied. Slightly lighter in colour than the Chambertin served alongside. But this is so young! Balanced and layered. I really liked this.

13% alcohol. Good long dense cork with no more than 1.5cm of wine penetration; the generic print "mise en bouteille à la propriété" is surprisingly minimal, and it strikes me as indicative of the unambitious style of the property at the time. Light colour with a slight orangey tinge at the edge of the rim. Good evolved nose with leather as well as ripe red berries. The mouth is good too (if on the slight side), with no lack of grip, and very good fresh fruit. The oak is barely perceptible. Still, this bottle is a relative disappointment, as was the last one. All the elements of a fine wine are there, but not with the intensity that I expect from a grand cru. On the positive side, the wine is in great condition, and it looks like it will remain so for a good 5 to 10 years; as for improving, I am not so sure.

Deeply coloured. Powerful, brooding nose of violet, smoked meat and cherry. Palate also shows power and depth but it is well balanced with the delicate texture not overwhelmed. Tannins are very fine and don't get in the way of the line and great length of the wine at all. Totally delicious to drink, with plenty of room to improve and gain extra complexity.

Another Casual Burgundy Dinner (Storefront Company - Chicago IL): Very nice with a big, ripe character. Not particularly "Gevrey" to me. Also simpler with less finesse than I would expect from Grand Cru in a good vintage.
