The nose on this wine was outrageously lovely as soon as the somm poured a little splash for me to taste, soaring and spicy with the oak beautifully integrated to create a really alluring Burgundy. On the palate the wine was relatively richly fruited, with lots of blackcurrant and more spice, as befits the character of the producer and vintage, with a little hint of forest floor coming through. Lucky to get this for a reasonable price off a list!

Starting to drink really well. Has a touch of forest floor and some smoked meats to the aroma. There's a core of sweet cherry and the palate is silky with a stony base. It has decent grip to the finish and flavours fan out.

Poured by the Zachy's team at the auction. A very pretty floral nose. On the palate, cherry spice and cinnamon stick - more of a spicy profile than elegant. I liked it but not sure I would seek this out.

Ripe red cherry and berry throughout with slightly sweet spice. Rich start with very good concentration for its level. New oak istill slightly protrudes, and the finish is a little jagged, so I think a few more years in the cellar with smooth everything out.

It is drinking very well with a mix of red and dark fruit. Enticing on the palate. 91-92
