Mint, herb, toast and yeast. Quite astringent on the palate, with the acidity riding high across the length. Lacks a little in depth, and while it seems simple, there is some refreshment value within.

Apricot, orange peel, marmalade, earth and pear. Ripe and structured on the palate, this has good purity and interest with an earthy streak running alongside the richer fruit. Surprisingly good for Pinot Blanc, but not surprising given the quality of the producer.

White florals, slate, lemon peel, and minerals with plenty of spice. Beautifully pure on the palate, this shows great length and verve. Really lifted fruit, while still having great mineral drive. The acidity feels well balanced, working well with the fruit. This is drinking beautifully.

Lemon, mineral, pear and musk. Good texture, there is nice brightness to the richer styled fruit, thanks to good acidity. Good length as well. Would be happy to see one of these in a few more years.

Honeyed, toast and oak character on the nose. Structure is holding strongly, with the oak and wood standing out a little too much, especially through the mid palate. Decent texture and character, a little more time might help the oak integrate but I'm not sure if the fruit will hold.

Blind. Grass, lime, vanilla and graphite. The palate shows delicate fruit, with lovely acidity that zings through the great length. Really fine detail and very youthful. Really good stuff.

Blind. Cloudy colour. Herbal tea, ginger and pineapple. Sweet palate, with honeyed notes throughout. Feels flabby and a drink now proposition. Unfortunately 10 years on I'm not digging this nearly as much.

Herbal, pepper, rhubarb and cherry. Palate is decently balanced, but there is little depth to it. Drinks perfectly fine for a Bourgogne but given the price, it is hard to recommend.

Corked.

Blackcurrant, cherry and pepper. Medium bodied, with the black fruit still showing through. Medium length. Holding very well, but definitely lacking in excitement.

Violet, pepper, iron, redcurrant and some herbal tones. The acidity sparks up well, with the restrained red fruits showing through well. Good persistence. Has settled a bit in the last couple of years, though another couple would surely do it no harm.

Mineral, red berries, pepper and roses. Punchy on the palate, really fine red fruits, a delicate element that I really like, while still having some coiled power. Very youthful but also very good.

Chocolate, cherry, violet and ash. The tannins on the palate are strong, but the fruit stands up to it really well. Superb length and depth. Showing a lot now, even though it is obviously young and bursting with potential. Quite compelling stuff, a complete package.

Toast, ash, vanilla, meat and leather. Good savoury and spicy fruits on the palate, this shows very good length. There are hints at brett but it is low level. In a really nice spot for drinking now and over the next 4-5 years.

Rubber, licorice, raspberry and redcurrant. Nice restraint to the fruit, still showing some youthful brightness but the structure and texture are the main features at the moment. Developing well and more time will be of benefit.

Green beans, tobacco and some meaty bretty notes. The palate is elegant, with quiet fruit and medium length. Well balanced, this is in a good place for drinking now and over the next few years based on this bottle.

Violets, tar, raspberry and chocolate. Plenty of richness behind the fruit, but maintains good texture and has good length. Solidly interesting.

Blackcurrant, blackberrry and dusty charcoal. Rich and full throttled on the palate, the alcohol element does creep in a little bit and disrupt the flow. Not bad but doesn't stand out as being more than that.

Chalk, musk, lemon, cherry and some honey as it warms up. Really nice texture, lifted acidity with great cut. It does show some richness with air. Feels very composed and while it has good interest now, I think a few years in the bottle will yield a very pleasing result.
