Christmas 2023; 12/24/2023-12/26/2023 (Home): Another wine that showed a lot younger than expected! This seemed completely ready in 2010, but now rather less so - albeit still a very good, elegant wine. Warm spice on the nose, plenty of fairly tart red fruit, and pleasingly supple despite the residual tannin. It certainly worked with Christmas lunch, but would have been too spiky without food.

Few signs of ageing. Deep ruby colour. Deeply Burgundian nose of raspberries, strawberries and this ineffable aroma of love or lust - or maybe musk? A real spiciness on the palate - a crackly pepperiness. But long, luscious and fabulously seductive.

THE Best Burg I’ve ever had - and that’s from vintages spanning back to the 1970s from all the highly regarded producers across the board.
An absolute colossus of a wine, so refined, such a great nose, so long on the finish and such a phenomenal balance and flavour profile. I wish the tasting experience could have lasted forever.
Will be searching out for more of these bottles.
Bravo!

Great wine but a little bit below the very high expectations. Balanced and very nice but lacked the wow factor
