Ripe. Decanted 30 minutes. Reflecting the uninspiring vintage. Nevertheless grand cru standard. Nice strawberry-nose. but somewhat lean and one-dimentional on the palate, cherries and bacon in the background, enough length. I think it is the vintage , not the normal level of the wine.

Very good for the vintage, clearly grand cru level. After 2 hours in the decanter opening up fast and dramatically.Waves of raspberries, cherries and cinnamon, fresh, good midpalate and length. Enough acidity and round tanins to improve over the next years if you want to wait, but very special and appealing now.

Beginning ripeness, should improve over the next 3-5 years. In the moment very much charm. Relatively light color, nevertheless concentrated in the nose and on the palate. Some light tobacco and all sorts of vosne-romanee spices (especially cinnamon), good fruit and acidity. Remarkable effort for the domaine and the year and a good future.
