Great wine in a great place right now! Very accessible, elegant, all en finesse with a layer of subtle fruit remaining, strawberries essentially and some fainter notes of dark cherry. Then a very balanced base of forest floor, leather and some spices takes over, nicely supported by a very fine acidity. A very balanced and relatively soft wine, a marvelous food companion.

(Blind tasting) Elegant, medium-fullish nose. Subtle notes of raspberry, fresh strawberry, violets and spice. Very elegant. Medium body, lovely velvety tannins. Smooth impression. Pure, low-key, but very seamless. Raspberry, liquorice, minerals and violets. Gently oaky and spicy. A very fine bottle. Not a blockbuster. Without greeness. We guessed on Chambolle premier cru, perhaps even Les Amoureuses. Not a heavy Clos de Vougeot - much more elegant.

Dinner at Villa Saunières (Saunières France): Red cherry and berry throughout. Slightly sweet spice aromas, a bit more savory flavors. Some faint green background hints, but still overall good balance. Best to enjoy now through 2025.

Ripe, cool, dark fruits.
Youthful structure, fine tannins, clean ripe dark fruits. Delicious and drinking quite well if a little tight still.

Wow, the purity of fruit is just awesome. Still tight on the palate but the nose smells great.
