Nose is slightly floral with beautiful and bright fruit. Incredibly balanced in the mouth. Largely resolved tannins. It does not seem like a Nuits St Georges wine, and was guessed to be Musigny by an experienced blind taster. Much better than the critics suggest.

Light garnet colour. Nose offers up ripe strawberry, spice, smoke, game and undergrowth. Great balance of mature fruit, tannin and acid. Longish finish. VG.

(at La Mere Brazier – Lyon) Brick color with a clear rim. Outstanding nose of earth, dried mushrooms and deep red Pinot fruit. This wine is a winner: perfectly mature with silky feel, sweet fruit and secondary aspects that are just riveting on the palate. Leaves a lasting impression of purity and deep fruited fun. One of the better wines I have tasted this year. Gives more pleasure than the score. I am very surprised by other less positive reviews of this wine. (92)

Still a very young wine. Purple colour, reticent cranberry and cherry nose. Some nice black cherry flavours develop after a couple of hours, earthy, medium weight with plent of young fruit. Approachable, no signs of any secondary development yet and fairly keen acidity. Will certainly improve.

A restrained nose of decaying leaves, dried cherries, and orange zest. Fruit is fading fast here, but very nice notes of baking spice, orange zest, cola, and a little earth are zippy yet persistent. Was much nicer 4 years ago with the last bottle.

Servicable but I kept thinking about the Volnay. Red and black cherry, some dirt, ok but a little plodding. B-

Similar notes to last bottle, lovely maturing burg from a vg vintage. Everything in harmony. Yum!
