Very intense aroma with cherry, oak and blackfruits. Concentrated wine with a lot of different fruits on the palate. Long finishing. Exceptional bourgogne. Lack of smoothiness is the only turn off... superb value and good to drink now and easily for 1-2 more years. Wish i have more.

I wanted to like this wine more- drank over two days. It had a few moments but broadly didn't think it came together. Aromatics still tight - and more of the darker, masculine side of pinot. The oak still stood out a bit and was a bit disjointed. Have one more left and will wait five years - it's a dense wine and should easily make it...

This is a tough one - another reviewer referred to "burnt popcorn" on the nose which is close - thee is a tight heavy spice note which is hard to describe. after 24 hours it has subsided and I'm guessing that this wine needs some time to open - just seems backwards at this point. Acidity nice and wine has a nice minerality - fruit is rather tame for a warm year. I'll want a few years on my other bottles.

I didn't get any burnt popcorn. Just some spritz and an enormous amount of strawberries. I loved the carbonic maceration here.

Nice, light body, strawberry flavored, with good acidity
