Still so young in character developed in the glass to show some secondary characteristics but mainly glorious derp red and black fruits with rich savoury length - gorgeous stuff

Barely any signs of ageing. Clear garnet and no bricking. Vibrant nose of cherry, rose water, wood smoke and cassis. If anything, this is still a little closed on the palate of soft raspberry and red currant. Slightly astringent, dusty tannins. Outrageously smooth. Lovely lingering lavender and balsamic finish.
Having said all that... I expected more. Foolish to start with high expectations, but I never got the "wow" factor from this that keeps so many addicted to great Burgundy. Hopefully I'll find that magic moment down the line. 91-92.

Terrifically young - soft rich strawberry fruit some secondary notes but still deepish red opened up over the evening to show some sous bois and dark ripe cherry notes surely loads of development to come

Lunch de fête du Baron (au Quartier Général): Un nez un peu évolué, avec du fruit rouge, olives, poivron rouge. Bouche encore tannique à l'ouverture, il n'y parait plus deux heures plus tard, se montre alors la pure dentelle. Les tanins sont fondus et très élégants, mais ça reste un vin fougueux, avec des arômes de sous-bois humide, de conifère, un peu de mûres. Un pur délice. 92-93 pts
Les amis étaient dans le Rhône sud, puis nord, puis Loire....:)

Great bottle. Secondary notes yet still relatively youthful and fresh. In the zone for my tastes, but no rush.
