This is quite old school and despite being 13 years old this need time to aereate. After about two hours of slow ox it’s reasonably open. Subtle but sophisticated nose of red cherries and flowers. The wine is transparent, sporting strawberry, mineral and herb notes. The fruit is very restrained but delivers enough flavor. There is still some residual tannin here. I think this will get a little better in the next five years

A silky and refined Beaune that still has plenty of structure and tannins left after over a decade in. Pure expression of strawberry, cherry and flowers on the nose and palate with a mineral inflected finish.

Very good wine. Mature but more to go. Really enjoyed it. Good value for money.

Needs a bit more time. Still some unresolved tannins. But otherwise a nice nose with red fruit. Decent length. Also a bit of spritz on the palate.

Good weight. Red fruit. Easy drinking. It doesn't pretend to be a complex wine. I like it. Perhaps a bit of wood sticking out.
