  Nigel P in Bath (Clayton’s kitchen, Bath): Very dark. Fragrant, slightly pricey nose. Dense. Not burgundy as one knows it, but regardless it’s dense, dry, oaky, uncompromising and to my palate, unpleasant. No thanks.

  Slightly rustic and closed
  Lots of concentration though and very ripe fruit
  Revisit with more age

  Super rich, dark and extracted. Almost un-Burgundian. Still a very attractive wine. Drank straight after delivery, so might be even better when settled.

  A Weekend in Ekatahuna; 10/22/2015-10/23/2015 (Ekatahuna, New Zealand): Fine example of a Burgundy in a challenging and hot vintage. The wine's fruit is not stewed, but there are hints of port and a slight translucent aspect to the fruit. The tannic structure is verging on rough, but this, combined with some exotic aromatics, add up to a wine of great character and plenty of nuance. Drunk before a Turley Petit Syrah, this had far less polish but far greater complexity. I can see why many would not admire the wine because of its slightly feral nature, but I consider it outstanding, considering it a true and successful representation of the vintage.
