Cooked sweet red cherry fruit, that’s spicy, soft and sensuous. Savoury at first but then the sweetness of the fruit kicked in, to leave an impressive lingering finish. Lovely balance and has held up well. CHP 91pts
Initially, my nostrils were assaulted by farmyard notes and talcum powder but underlying this on the palate was some savoury cherry fruit, shot through with a pleasing freshness. Fully dry, this had the softest of tannins, spice and developed a luxurious silky mouthfeel. On the finish, which was rather impressive and lingering there were further notes of plums with a hint of prune. In better condition than my last bottle and accordingly rated higher. CHP 92 pts

My nostrils and palate were initially assaulted by furred game and black cherries. Opulent and spicy this morphed into a delicious hit of black chocolate on the finish. It was fresh and savoury with soft melting tannins. The mouthfeel and texture were simply sublime as was the length of finish. My main criticism though was that the Bretty flavours were just a little too overpowering at the expense of the fruit. In spite of that it still merited a high score. CHP 91 pts

Decanted two (2) hours. Similar to prior experience red/black berries, cherry, plum, soy with earthy/savory undertones beginning to step forward. Should have the stuffing to last out the decade but drinking wonderfully right now!

(Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Perrières) Very dark ruby color; lots of reduction, sous bois, forest floor nose; tight, reduction, tart cherry, sous bois palate with nice texture; needs 8-10 years but should come together nicely; medium-plus finish 90+ points
