Opened 3 hours before tasting; this showed quite well in the company of some premier cru burgundies from Volnay and Vosne-Romanee. A touch better than the Louise tasted in parallel

From a pop and pour, a total delight. Vosne like spice, but trademark Cristom display of dark, savory fruit, tea leaves, acidity in the back ground but no lack of structure or verve. Both delighted and sad at the same time - bottle was in a beautiful spot, but I think there is a LOT of gas in the tank on this one. Drink or hold.

Beautiful black cherry, spice and a bit of tea on the nose. Medium bodied, with a good acid/tannic core and pretty dark fruits, earth and spice. Nice balanced fiish. Last bottle, but I would expect this to last several more years. Beautiful! 93 points

12/12 it’s developed beautifully, seductive aromatics, juicy cherry fruit, dark spices and acidity which slices through it in a very satisfying way. This was probably the best of the case, a wine worth cellaring
