  Not a marquee vintage, I thought this taillepieds would’ve been better. It was merely good. Taillepieds tastes of cherry to me and it certainly delivered. I just felt that the tannins were still a bit rougher than they should be at this stage and the length was short. I can’t see this improving without the fruit leaving. I’d heed Guillaume’s advice as he said that 2006 was a difficult vintage for the domaine.

  Rather earthy nose. Palate is quite pure and fixed with a strong cherry fruit profile. Really lovely attack. Finish shows rather course tannins—and while lengthy not showing elegance. I suspect this will show further development.

  Liked this but didn’t love it, pretty floral notes, with still quite a primary red fruit feel to the nose, palate is a touch austere but it’s got decent fruit and lots of acidity and tannins I think this needs allot more time to come together

  Pop and pour, drunk over several hours.
  
  Red fruited, a little floral, and ferrous on the nose. Mid weighted with good focus and hidden depth on the palate. Still a bit tight. It open up with time, has nice red fruits, some pastille and floral notes, with underlying stony- chalky, ferrous notes, but still has clamping dryness and metallic undertones on the finish. It is not to the unpleasant degree and dishwater notes that the Ducs had when I last tried it, but this is a bit angular and out of kilter right now. I will bury my remaining bottles for several more years and hope that come together. Focused, precise, and needing air time to come together. I hope this develops in time. Judgement reserved.

  Il lui faut un peu de temps dans le verre mais l'aromatique est renversante: ronce, menthol, feuilles froissées, champignon frais, fleurs (pivoine), léger tabac blond et notes sanguines. Ah c'est quelque chose, ce nez ! Ça m'allume immédiatement le voyant "grand pinot potentiel à l'horizon" contrairement aux simplets jus de fruits rouges pinotant.
  La bouche attaque comme un fort des halles, y a du volume, y a de la puissance, y a du tannins. Certes du Volnay d'accord mais du Taillepieds surtout. L'équilibre matière/acidité est parfait, quel régal cette bouche !
  C'était hélas trop beau, le fin de bouche se fait rattraper par le millésime, la matière fout le camp, se défile en laissant les tannins sur place, la sécheresse apparaît éteignant complètement la finale. Argh !
  
  Un magnifique 2/3 de vin, je me voyais avec un Clos des Ducs 1999 qui aurait troqué la finesse et la grâce pour une carrure plus athlétique. Le dernier tiers aura brutalement mis fin au rêve !
