PopnPour, tasted over 2 hrs, bottle from secondary market -med dark red minimal bricking -quite pretty aromatics with warm earth brambly red fruit wet stone early hints of sweet decaying forest floor -med/med+ acidity kicks in near the finish, med weight expansive on the palate with good depth if lacking a bit on complexity, some somber dark red fruits and bitter apple peel on a mostly soil base, med but soft tannins on long-ish finish -drinking very well now on its plateau in early maturity, nose currently outshines the palate, I would expect this to continue drinking well for another 5-10 years and might even improve slightly if it gains complexity while further shedding tannins

Quite nice, not amazing. Soft, light bodied. The nose and front palate very perfumed,. Taste also led with acid. Relatively short finish. Wants food, but easily overwhelmed.

Burgundy WIMPS (The Ledbury, Notting Hill, London): Lovely aromatic nose, strawberries, spice, floral notes. Light/medium bodied on the palate, attractive strawberry fruit, fine integrated tannins, good fresh acidity, notes of earth on the gentle but lingering finish. Very good.
has put on lots of weight since last year. very rich texture, berry and fruit flavors have matured a bit. just entering a good 10 - 15 year drinking window. lovely.

softer elegant Corton. This one had very nice lively red fruits, good structure, and nice minerality in the finish. Very enjoyable bottle and I really like it now with the fruit showing so well...

(at Corton – NYC) Corton at Corton – seemed appropriate. Pretty good bottle. Soft cherry fruit that developed a nice velvet texture with 60 minutes air time. The finish was a bit short and did not quite have the presence I would have liked. A gentle Grand Cru that did match well with the very good food. (89)

(WD-50) Suprisingly open and expressive. Minerally core with saucy fruits and mossy elements. Primary. Currants and a rocky / velvet texture which is incipient Corton. Did really well with the wild array of flavors in Wylie's dishes.

Typical for the vintage, but good with food.

Subtle, even to the extend of being too lightweight. Quite pleasant all the same. Not likely to improve however.

Nice clarity, good strawberry nose. Prett and tender delicacy on the palate, classic wine, good concentration and balance but will require more time.

Very good wine. A much lighter and more elegant wine than I expected. Initially a little closed, but opened up nicely over the evening.
