89 Points

Saturday, March 30, 2013 - I last tried this wine approx a decade ago and tonight was thrilled how well it is showing and lively it remains. Baking spice aromas with forest floor character along with fairly mature black cherry and blackberry. Slightly more advanced on palate, but still a nice combination of earthy elements with black fruit and spice. If served blind, I could easily be convinced this was Vosne Villages.

    6/26/2021 9:00:00 AM - 89 points seems quite harsh given how positive your review is though?
