Good stuff from fav producer Le Grappin. Most of the time I prefer their white wines, this is the only red that I regularly buy. Not that the reds are bad, just the whites are really good. However, this bottle really delivered. Good fruit and structure, some light spice, good lenght. Glad to have more in the cellar.

Pale; strawberry & raspberry fruit, a gamey/farmyard edge; gritty tannins, refreshing acidity, some weight & rusticity ; plenty on long finish. Yet to peak Better with food.

Before dinner; best bottle so far. Good acidity and grip. Fresh with earthy and dark/red Wild berries. 92++
Dinner: elk minne steak with juniper berry, lingonberry, sause with sherry, cream, wild fond, mess butter, soya. Not a great match, lager beer or a mature pomerol could been better. The food was a bit to rustic and some sweetness, but the wine is still great.

A Coravin sip after dinner. Red bright fruit, linear, acidity and tannins ok. Would match as a buffé allround wine. Might develop a bit. Wait 2 y and try again. With mozzarella tomato and pesto spagetti

A sweetness to the elegant red fruit, raspberry, strawberry and the works really, a mineral and cool feel that is admirable not least for the vintage but also seems like a producer mark. Great freshness, silky tannins. Super easy to drink and a hallmark Cote de Beaune. Delicious!

Mid garnet; smart & inviting bouquet, neat, a whiff of warm earth & sous bois, impactful palate, a sweet edge to fruit, supple, alcohol intrudes slightly; easy going finish. Drink now & next 5 years.

Smakrik för att vara en bourgogne. Härlig balans i vinet. Körsbär/röda bär, choklad, tobak, vanilj, lite rökta aromer. Mkt gott som vanligt från paret Nielsen! Måste addera att den var fantastisk till västerbottenost!

Nose is dominated by red fruit. The usual berries but also a strong impression of wild cherries. Also white clay, herbs, hints of stems and just a touch of varnish. Good depth and emerging complexity already. On the palate a bit more restrained, fruit not as dominant. Medium body, good acidity. Very mineral, at times almost salty. Quite silky but towards the finish some tannins make their presence known. Good lenght.
Very nice and already (or still?) approachable but good potential as well.

Ett fantastiskt vin. Serverade och drack det till nyårsmiddagens huvudrätt bestående av stekt torskrygg med rökt sidfläsk, rödvinssås och baconbomb. Kanske lite i kraftigaste laget till denna mat men gjorde inte bort sig. Kräver dekantering. Första flaskan fick en dryg timme i karaff, den andra lite kortare tid. Tog inga noter men samtliga gäster tyckte det var väldigt gott.

Opened a bottle tested by Coravin earlier.
Wild raspberry, sand/earth, longer and more depth now. Drink in a year or two, think it peaks now.
92+

A sipp by Coravin vin. A nice mouthfeel and balance, but to short to store higher. But it is a good nice approachable one.

Delicious pure and delicate fruit. Mainly red-fruited and fresh despite the warm vintage. Very nice now although still young.
