  Restaurant purchase. Took some time to open, but then developer very nicely, 92+. Nevertheless, qpr could be better…

  On the nose smoked meats, tobacco, stone, mushroom. Wonderful texture on balance. Near perfect balance. An ultra deep berry flavor in a woody profile (in a good way). Exemplary. Bomb.com

  Pop and pour. Really appealing mix of ripe fruit and earthy elements. Smoked meat on the nose and savory palate.

  Tasted with 2011. Both medium red, 11 more browny rim, 17 purplish; 11 somewhat muted nose, bit of caramel, woody flavours; 17 completely different, fruity with lots of raspberries; 11 appears somewhat closed (?), medium body, agreeable, correct, 17 fresh fruity flavours, a bit soft drink-like; I preferrred 17, wife and my mother preferred 11 - thought it would have been the other way around; I lacked more complexity in 11, while enjoyed the straight forward fruitiness of 2017, although I agree with rest of family that it is more soft water like, unlike the 11, which is clearly matured and “assembled”

  Winebar [1 Rosé, 3 Whites, 8 Reds, & 7 *shared* bottles] from 01/24/20 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): “Area: 0.63 ha; Owner: GFA des ARBAUPINS; This parcel is located next to the GROS family parcel of RICHEBOURG in the N. The draining capacity of the place may explain its name: the natural vegetation would be quickly ‘burned’ during summer because of the dryness of the soil. The soil is very stony, of a 30-35cm thickness, & the subsoil is made of hard limestone (similar to Prémeaux stones).” Typically, “This wine offers a great minerality. It is similar to Richebourg from which it is separated only by a 3m-wide lane. But the soil, which is not as thick as the Richebourg's, brings more softness to the tannins & makes it more rapidly accessible.”
  
  N: Vanilla atop RIPE berries with notes of minerals with poss forest floor? Intensity lurking?
  
  P: Med, poss MF, body; Rndish entry with NICE, almost swtish frt met by an astringent pucker which stays within hailing distance of the init frt as it fairly seamlessly transitions into a very LONG, impeccably BALANCED finish with a slight tanginess & sense of swtness to the very, VERY fine tannins. NEEDS/deserves through '22 min, then EASILY making its 10th. IMPRESSIVELY done! My EXC/EXC+, the higher a good bet... eventually. 90-92 pts ea Burghound (1/’19) & Vinous (Martin, 1/1/19), and 16.5/20 Jancis Robinson (1/7/19). [Check with this vendor if interested in their very COMPETITIVE price.]
