probably similar score to prior bottle, it suffered a little coming after a wonderful Dujac Charmes, which was only 3 years older but massively more evolved. This is a young pup that probably should be revisited in 10+ years, as it was dense, precise, powerful, though not expressing much terroir. As Mike put it, very Ponsot-like in that regard

Beautiful nose with purple fruits, flowers and minerals, it showcases the vintages chiseled savory fruit profile, with great energy and emergence of secondary nuances like leather and tobacco. This was a vintage they kept yields low and it shows

Needed some time to wake up, after some air rose petals and menthol. Lovely wine, elegant and deep. Nuanced, pretty, and vibrant, with an earthy core and a faint note of sweet tobacco. I adore this wine, sadly my only bottle.

(Mostly) 90s Burgs in Indy (Vida): Very pretty - a lovely fragrance with lots of high toned spicy and floral notes, and more savoury/bass notes of earth and mushrooms framing a core of red fruit that's still very fresh and lively. Medium weight on the palate and drinking very nicely with the tannins mostly integrated, and a long, savoury finish.

Dried cherry, cranberry, herbs and mushroom. Very good.
