Today the wine showed more of itself than last time I had it, although still in an embryonic phase. Medium intensity on the nose with herbs, just ripe yellow apple, white flowers, minerality. High linear piercing acidity, long finish. 92++
This was the most open for business, very enjoyable with red fruit, licorice, almost vosne spice sensation. Medium+ acidity, medium tannins, long finish. 91-92+
Tasted next to the Clos de la Cave ‘22 from Bouley and this was a bit more restrained, more cranberry notes. Medium+ acidity, medium tannins, long finish. 91++
The best of the three wines (the others being Clos de la Cave and Mitans ‘22) with more structure, somewhat more black fruit next to the red fruit, earthiness, minerality. Medium+ intensity, medium tannins, long finish. 92++

Very nice bottle, although the difference with his premier cru’s is significant. Cranberry, cherry, some licorice. Medium+ acidity, medium tannins, long finish. 91-92
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru
Of course this is too young and it showed only a glimpse of what is to come, but what a glimpse! Very elegant roses and violets on the nose, red and black cherry, some blackberry, licorice. Medium+ acidity, medium tannins, long finish. 93-94++
