Not giving much away on the nose at the moment, but a lovely weight and feel in the mouth. Lush and expressive with an unexpected depth of fruit - really good quality for a standard bourgogne. This is a very well made and can be drunk (with food and with pleasure) now or over the next few years. The only negative in the unneccesarily heavy bottle this comes in - why is this done in today's day and age??

Not a patch on the 2010. May need some time in bottle but the worry is that it lacks the acidity required to give it freshness and it therefore lacks the refreshing qualities of a good SB - too much residual sugar maybe? In terms of flavour, it is fairly intense and complex, but the lack of balance lets its down. Will be a shame as I have another11 of these!

Fresh, zingy, with lively acidity. Lacking body on the palate but still manages to be refreshing and drinkable.
