Add some gudron or acetone on the palate and you will get a classy Barolo. That's why it's a proverb that Burgundy and Barolo are cousins. The wine will live easily another 5-6 years so please ignore 2017 in the description section. Lush structure, red fruit and dry herbs make this wine big and food-friendly. It is a great pleasure to drink it now.

13% alcohol. Good dense long cork with minimal wine penetration (2 mm at most). The colour is bright light ruby. Fragrant nose with raspberry aromas and a hint of something wild too. The mouth is very pure and lively, with a healthy dose of acidity in the finish. Drinking fine now, but could improve for another five years, I think. A good Burgundy of the high-pitched variety. This was very reasonably priced when I acquired it, but I have no idea of what the current prices are, so I won't pronounce on the repeat purchase status of this wine.

Sort of dry and uninteresting. I'll have to give it more time.

Drinking very well. Lovely deep, complex nose that could only be from the cotes de nuits.
