12/12. Cork 70% evenly soaked. Pale/medium garnet core, wide pale garnet rim. Attractive nose - red fruits, touch of florals, also soil, dung. Medium bodied, nice contrast of pure red fruit and savoury meatiness, fresh acids, soft tannins, quite mellow now, goodish length, harmonious finish. Quite evolved - probably for drinking over next 5 or so years.

Cork 75%, evenly soaked. Medium garnet core, pale garnet rim. Now quite developed nose, earthy, sous-bois, mineral, game, underlying sweet red fruit. Medium bodied, spicy, very gamey, some slightly prickly tannins at first, but seem to soften and round with time in glass. Good length finish with sweet, evolved fruit and game. Notably more evolved and slightly broader and richer than previously. Fully mature.

Agree with other tasting notes - badly soaked cork, disappointing taste. This was a light, but very earthy burgundy. After decanting, straining had a somewhat flat finish, tannin and light on the fruit. Not sure if it was past it's prime or defective?

Badly soaked cork - leaking on one side. Weak, diffuse nose, showing sweatiness with time in glass. Palate is hollow and short. Something not quite right here.

Brought to RN74 where popped and poured. Medium ruby color. Nose opened over about 30 minutes to show nostril-filling scents of cherry blossom, raspberry, earth, schist. A bit hard-edged on the palate at first but filling out and softening through the evening to show tart cherry, briars, anise, leather, and an underpinning of iron. Moderate acidity balancing softened but still evident tannins. Long finish with waves of mineral and somewhat crunchy red fruit. Firmer and more serious than the 2000 Barthod C-M Baudes sampled recently, this wine showed its specific vineyard character very well.
