  Ahhh now this is more like it; pale ruby; a beautiful nose which initially had a whiff of sous bois opens to show tart cherry and cranberry, orange peel, floral notes and wet stones. The palate is initially so delicate it is almost lacking in intensity and stuffing, but with about 45 min of air this blossoms and gains weight and depth. A classic Mitans of pure elegance. Lovely and drinking pretty close to maturity though likely no rush.

  A couple years since my last bottle, and definitely sensing some improvement. Pale ruby and garnet color in the glass. Upon initial opening quite aromatic and very front facing. The bouquet gives off very acute violet, flower garden, gooseberry, and touches of juicy stone fruit. With time more nuance emerges with more herbal, clay, and mineral elements. The palate is light on its feet yet showing good complexity. Profiles include cherry fruits, clay, mineral, stones, with tart red fruit and some rinds. Over time more stewed fruits emerge and the weight grows. Drinking perfectly at this time.

  淡石榴红色，醒酒半小时，闻香有肉鲜，芝麻香气，红樱桃一类轻盈红果，入口酸度中高，单宁细腻如粉，酒液咸，收口微甜，芝麻香气，红果，一些植物根茎一类草本气息，细节精致，风格甜美，余味轻盈红果。很典型的一支黑皮诺，旧世界风格，一支轻盈甜美的勃艮第，非常的柔美，确实很Volnay，没有很多的复杂度和集中度，醒酒时间稍短没有打开，中后段并没有绽放开来，只有前段的表现，稍微有点不完整，也许需要两个小时以上会展现出更多细节。

  Fine and aromatic, with a delicious mix of subtle berry flavours and savoury notes. Tannins neatly tucked into the fold.

  No formal notes, but almost surprisingly good. Had the start of a sappy bottle sweetness that I find so compelling on the palate. Light red fruits and herbs and minerals are the impressions I have about the aromas; but mostly this was about the texture for me. My first of a few, so excited to see where this ends up.
