  Translucent ruby hue. Nose of sharp, nicely acrid berry cut with musky violets and dark soil. Layers of compacted earth, iodine, dark raspberry, and dusty plum on the satiny palate. Fresh acidity and firm but smoothed tannin. Long finish of iodine, black raspberry, and fine soil. Nicely done and certainly capable of further positive evolution.

  Translucent darker ruby. After 45 minutes of air, an elegant, fragrant emerging nose of lilting red berry, saline, fennel, violets, deepening plum blossom, and hints of smoky earth. Detailed layers of dense but piquant raspberry and black cherry fruit on the palate cut with earth and brier. Fine-grained, almost powdery tannin balanced by freshening acidity. Long finish of packed red berry, underbrush, and fine iron. A wine of impeccable elegance. Will age well.

  PNP the nose has been reluctant to come out and play and after half an hour an elegant gentle complex aroma of liquorice, sous bois and oaky fruit. Clean on the palate despite the touch of Burgundian undergrowth on the nose. At first I was disappointed but with some air this is extremely well balanced and moreish. A wine you could get seriously plastered on!

  2 hours upon opening serving into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Leaf” day): Pale ruby to the eyes.
  
  Very clean floral infused smoky spices. Purplish cherries. Really nice spectrum of bluish berries too.
  
  Very elegant style here, high toned purplish red berries. A lot of finesse here which is on par with the likes of Vougeraie, Gibourg and Rousseau in my view.
  
  94 points easy.
  
  Second round: very much consistent a lot of fine minerals
