Medium garnet. BlackBerry, plum, smoke, game, leather, tapenade, black pepper. Medium acidity, ripe tannins are noticeable but well integrated, the same for alcohol. Long finish. Drinking beautifully now but has the structure and fruit to age for many years. Very elegant.

Dark ruby. Lovely suggestions of roasted meats, ground white pepper. Elegant, restrained. Beautifully in balance, and highly enjoyable over three nights.

I've found it quite open after some decanting, also tasted 2nd half of the bottle overnight. Elegant and pure - blackberry, cassis, raspberry. griotte with hints of smoke, meat and pencil shavings, ash. Still plenty of tannings left, but overall balance is good. Crispy acidity (surprising for 2015) with mineral palate and great sense of pure fruits. I really like Clusel-Roch style - which aims for elegance. really burgundian in style.

Super dark. Funky and gamy ripe aromas. Brett ? Rich black fruits and too young grippy tannis. Needs a lot more years.

Very well rounded; hints of cherry; well balanced and pairs well with Mimolette
