France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Blind, musky initially which blew away, candied, touch of earth and polish, light body, high acid with med tannins. The style had changed dramatically, for a vintage like 2022, this is rather light, lacks the density and fruits from the vintage. While this is rather enjoyable now, unsure how it will change it is age. Looking at the critics' review seem to indicate this bottle is not representative
Blind, not giving much initially, some musky notes, flower, dark mixed with red fruits, good purity, high acid, coating tannins, med finish. A little unsure about this as it is elegant lacks a little character perhaps.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits-Saint-Georges
Blind, Earth, red fruited, light body, high acid with structured tannins. A trendy easy drinking burgundy, never quite understand the hype for this domain.
Blind, blend of 2010, 2011, 2012, 70% C, 30% PN, no Malo, disgorged March 2020, 990 bottles, bruised red apple, heavy on the palate, high acid, lacks a little precision and tendons, med finish. Fail to identify the majority grape with the acidity as the focus on was on the body.
Blind, ripe fruits, some capsicum, hint of plum, pencil lead on the palate,, med acid, med tannins, long finish. Showing the greatness of 2005 but still have long life in front of it.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru
Blind, prominent aroma, red cherry, touch of earth, med acid, med finish. Surprise it is 2017 which mostly are drinking well guess the plot is the reason why it is still rather tight at this moment, structure is definitely there.
Rather shy, rather high acid and unbalanced initially but slowly gaining weight. Drinking after 2.5 hrs, red fruits, earth, med body, med acid on the palate, rather structured tannins. Guesses were 2014 onwards due to the youthfulness.
