  An excellent Burgundy with enduring fruit, good depth and lovely maturing notes. The vintage’s hallmark acidity is evident but not overdone. Largely resolved but seemingly with plenty in reserve for further aging.

  Good Times in Seattle vol.II (84 Yesler, Seattle WA): This was popped and poured and it was slightly dried out right away. It did flesh out somewhat with air with mature tones of iodine, black cherries, raspberries, cranberries, earth, balsamic, and a touch of mineral notes. The Medium bodied feel is a bit lighter and with a rustic side along with slightly astringent, medium+ acidity and resolved, medium tannins. This feels like its on the other side of the hill. The fruit on the nose was a bit dried out and the structure was a bit wonky.

  My first wine of Grivot. Pretty confused with this wine. Very closed and earthy. First I thought that it was oxidised but then it revealed some black marmalade fruits. Overall it was very earthy and leathery. Tobacco, wet leaves, mushrooms and soil. On the palate it was full bodied with quite the same character and very grippy almost stiff tannins. An evolved and powerful Burgundy, still lacking in elegance and finesse.

  Bouteille et bouchon en parfaite condition. High fill. Carafé cette fois-ci. Grenat foncé assez brillant avec traces orangées.
  Avant le passage en carafe, le nez s'ouvrait sur des arômes d'écurie et l'aération lui a fait du bien.
  Notes tertiaires, surtout cailloux mouillés, fourrure animale, quelques effluves de groseilles.
  La bouche est solidement construite, virile, avec une bonne dose d'acidité et des tanins encore bien marqués.
  Le vin n'a pas vraiment bougé depuis la dernière bouteille dégustée en 2014 et je pense qu'il faut boire les flacons restant car il ne s'améliorera plus.
  Néanmoins ça reste un très bon vin pour qui aime la structure, pour ceux qui privilégient la finesse et la rondeur, il faudra choisir un autre flacon.

  Even ruby, little development. Very Nuits nose of earth, sweaty black fruit. Medium weight, very focused and lean with a spine of high acidity. Significant tannic grip, some licorice, and soil throughout. Just a touch of chocolate after being open for 2 hours. Pretty old fashioned, take no prisoners style of Burgundy, with no tip of the cap toward fruit. Overall, the impression was remarkably similar to what I noted 6 years ago. This still has a long way to go before it sorts itself out.
