  May 13, 2017 - While we did end up drinking the bottle, it showed signs of a light second fermentation as indicated by some fizz. Other than that is was a ripe sweet bruiser showing roasted over ripe cherry fruits and very 2003, blind not sure if I would have said even said Burgundy. Off bottle.

  December 27, 2013 - Deep ruby color quite unusual for Burgundy.
  Nose is also atypical with tonnes of ripe blackberry fruit, pronounced animal notes, graphite minerality and aromas of violet. The fruit is so ripe and with the presence of bretty notes it makes the nose almost Bordeaux-like. Fruit on the palate is mouthcoating, finish lingering with black cherry notes and minerals. An exquisite wine, if an untypical Burgundy.

  February 19, 2012 - Opened and drank over 90 minutes. I was excited to try this wine after just having the 2002 last weekend. The 03 had a much more singular, tart and charred nose. Marked by the vintage I am sure. Over ripe cherry with a slight chemical character on the long finish. That chemical character faded with time, but this just did not have the complexity or expansive palate of the 2002. A big, impressive wine but for the money I would choose something else.

  November 27, 2010 - A gorgeous nose right out of the bottle but then took some nursing along during the course of the evening (still quite young). Layers of forward, sappy rich red and black fruits married to floral tones are featured on the nose and show wonderful purity and intensity. The palate bursts with overt spiciness and broad big black cherry fruit flavors, but are lifted by defined acidity, keeping it fresh and elegant. The finish is persistent, coating the mouth with mostly black fruits and tactile spiciness. When it opened up, it is quite generous and certainly much more grand cru than premier cru like. Very complete, very classy and a joy to drink!
