For me, extremely educational and your note totally resonates. Sadly, so does your '10 Kiser note. I have not tasted yet but I'm now worried now that 'precision' is getting traction in my preferences. This sound flabbier than the Kiser '07s that I am now working my way through. Many thanks, Tom.

However, when presented with all 6 D'Angerville premier crus from a single vintage, it was both evident that each of them were completely distinct and had nothing interventional done to them, except TLC; at least in the sense that all 6 were vinified identically in a noninterventional style. Also, they were remarkably similar, so the distinctions came from precise, identifiable flavor/aroma and textural elements that could show through very easily in each wine. When you used the terms jammy, low acid, sweet I felt sad that the way you can tell '07 En Bas from En Haut might not be possible in 2010 (at least not now).
