April 2, 2024 - Opened about an hour before first taste, this was open and ready from the start. Compared to the ‘12 Jadot Musigny this was much more “in the zone”. Simply a beautiful wine from a true master

March 1, 2024 - Rubinrot, aufgehellte Ränder. Expressive, etwas wärmer anmutende Nase, als der 2013er daneben, viel dunkle Frucht, Leder, Weihnachtsgewürze. Im Gaumen zugänglich, rund, cremige Textur, sehr schön verpackte Tannine und top Säurestruktur. Im Abgang von ausgezeichneter Länge, hinterlässt würzige Noten und viel Kirschfrucht. Wunderbar, schon jetzt, sehr gute Reserven. Bis 2038 geniessen.

February 1, 2024 - My contribution to dinner with the CDV713 members.
I thought this bottle of 2012 JLC showed very well amongst the lineup. I find the meatiness of Northern Rhone to be more interesting especially when it's backed with great acidity and brightness like the 2012.
Definitely in a early window for a wine that has a long life ahead.
Drink or Hold.

And, and really lovely, but oh so young and so much promise to come. Much preferred to the 012 St Henri, Fugl, in expected old world new world ways. 93pts, Lam, Småvilt, Storfe, Storvilt, ViltWho Likes This Wine
