Grumpy bottle; normally these are in their prime drinking window at 14 years. Distinctly reduced (sulfide) aromas on opening, partially dissipates over 2 hours but not completely. A sharp tannic edge partially obscures the fruit which seems a bit more primary than expected, also uncharacteristic for this wine at this age. Not overtly damaged but wondering if my bottles from this year are off.

This is no question a stunningly beautiful wine in the making! Superb texture, most refined, yet fresh transparency and wonderfully fine tannin. If you wait 5 more years, this would have put on some serious weight and its blossoming will be stunning. Cheers,

Just very enjoyable burgundy. Light but vivid fruits and berries. A little weak on the finish but by then who cares. Medium Ruby, not brown edges, and still holding its own. At least two more years. This was much better than my last bottle a few years back.

Decanted for two hours. Showing signs of age but retaining a fresh, juicy acidity. Aromas of cherry, apricot and rhubarb. Herbaceous with notes of spice, earth, and umami. Flavors of tart cherry, cranberry, and orange peel. Light bodied with soft and silky tannins and a medium finish of bright acidity.

Belle surprise que ce 2010: un fruit encore présent, une vivacité en bouche, un vrai plaisir à boire d'ici 2 ans.
