September 7, 2023 - Deep to medium garnet in color.
Very expressive and intense nose, definetely a grand cru nose. Forest bush, baked strawberries, meat, tea leaves.
Medium body, very elegant and intense mouth filling flavours of red berries, baked strawberries, green tea infusion. Very balanced and intense throughout. More elegant than powerful Echezeaux.
Excellent grand cru totally in the “zone”. -

April 15, 2023 - Superb! The last bottle was mediocre or worse. This bottle is wonderful, with a medium long finish. Spice note, with bright cherry.

March 11, 2023 - Very disappointing and peculiar. Not nearly as good as the first bottle. The wine is not showing well, seems unbalanced. Smokiness on the palate is off-putting.
After 4 hours, it has gotten a little better, but not great. -

September 15, 2021 - Drinking beautifully. Integrated oak. Took 5 minutes for the funk to blow off, but then a beautiful nose of undergrowth, dark cherries, mushrooms rose from the glass. Decanted for 30 minutes before enjoying it.
