(2010-tasting: Volnay x 3, Vosne x 3, Gevrey x 3) Rich and full nose. Complex. Blood and iron. Dark plum and dark cherry. Oaky and rich. But also a load of forest floor and wet earth. Very easy to like, but perhaps lacking a bit in elegance. Fullish, rich and toasty. Raspberry and dark plum. Very generous. Stalky. Extremely good concentration, grip and intensity, but also comes across as a bit four-square. The concentration and intensity is GC-level, but the lack of elegance is not.

Double Blind. The nose is dark red fruit with a touch of spice and a good amount of oak. The palate is similar - it's dark red fruit, a fari amount of concentration a lot of oak, and there's a touch too much extraction on the finish. There's a good amount of acidity and tannin - what this wine will be like in the future remains to be seen. I thought this was younger. Given the vintage and the terroir, it's much too young to really judge this wine, but it currently lacks the grace and complexity I'd want from the site.

Pnp in Burgundy Zalto and followed over a night. Hauntingly beautiful on the nose. Precise, exquisite, fresh. Oak sheen still evident. Stems. Violet, red and black fruit on the palate with a slight Gevrey wildness. Lovely leafy undergrowth. Magical, magnificent wine. Drinking - just - from now, especially with air.

Veldig lukket til å begynne med, men åpnet seg noe etter en time. Tror allikevel at jeg vil la den ligge noen år til.

Absolutely beautiful nose as commented previously. However, I think it still needs time to integrate. Will hold next bottle for three - five years.
