November 21, 2020 - Really good.... on the second night. The first night it was a bit discombobulated. The acidity was too prominent and the flavour too short. The second night it came together, with a nice smooth texture. This was a trial, I’ll be buying more of this, but I’d give it another year before opening a bottle.

It’s a bit of a how long is a piece of string question as you know but as a very rough ballpark, 3 to 7 year window on the Marsannay and 5 to 10 year s on the Clos du Roy. The specific vintage needs to be considered as well to a degree and this is why I love the reviews on CT as well as my own experiences. My Christmas present this year will be a Coravin which is going to open up a while new angle!
