(SYP) PNP The nose drew you in with notes of sandal wood, red berries and powered milk. Smooth and weightless on the palate, with loads of red fruit. There was a touch of warmth and greenness, and the finish was minerally. Over the next few hours, it breathed to show toasted spice, herbs, earth and rose petals. Slight bitterness and unbalance to the finish. The first few glasses were better.

Expectations were high but this didn’t quite the reach the highs I was hoping for and it probably suffered a bit in comparison to the Jamet cote Brune. The nose was wonderful and promised more than the palate delivered. It was a touch closed at first but did improve with air. The fruit was lovely and there were nice roasted coffee and pipe tobacco flavours with a cinnamon spiciness but I was hoping for a bit more concentration and elegance. Could be in a slightly closed phase. A treat to try though. 4+

To be honest first day it was good but nothing that really impressed me all that much. Drank about 1/3, stuck it in the fridge with cork and tried again 2nd day.
2nd day was just pure joy to drink. Came off with very classic chambolle notes of lacey red strawberries and seamless acidity and tannins. I feel the wine is a bit closed on day one so drink it over two days if possible. Prolly a great medium term ager wine.

Perfumed and pronounced, better on the first night than the second.
