  J Bday dinner at Wimborne. Pop and poured. Drank over 1+ hour. Drank in Grassl Cru.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium intensity opening up sightly more with air - aromas of fresh leather, clean meat, red cherries, strawberries, stone dust minerality. Just a hint of some strange sulphurous fried egg turned up later also. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium tannins, medium body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of brambles, wet stony minerality, thin red cherries with an austerity feel. Puts on more density as it got more air time - showing darker red cherries and red berries and some Gevrey animal meat. Very juicy saliva-inducing long finish.
  Very good quality. Was really just itching to try this, though the experience does point towards the best still being yet to be. Just a bit more time.

  Tasted blind at a Gevrey tasting: bright cherry, strawberry and beetroot; sappy on the palate with a dusting of tannins; as expected, Rousseau’s village GC is a step higher than the rest (I regrettably drank up all my ‘02s of this already) but only the home gamer who brought this scored it (and all 3 of his wines😂!) in the top five of the tasting.

  This is begging for food at the moment but I don’t mean to take away anything from this wine- which is very well-poised and harmonious in this youthful stage of evolution. Lots of briary/rose garden scents with deep cherry infused with violets, beet root hints and an iron-type minerality throughout. Appropriate midpalate fat for this level but shows no signs of ripeness/excess heaviness. Not sure how much air this wine had a a head of time but one can enjoy this now, as the fruit is expressive, elegant and friendly amongst integrated tannins. 92-93 points for sure and I believe this has upside potential yet. We all thoughts Gevrey 1er Cru quality!

  Dense red and black fruit. Black pepper. This is impressive villages but needs a lot of time to soften up. Tasted over 3 days.

  (demi-b chez Boc')
  je craignais un peu que 2015 soit too much, il fut épatant! Nez expressif, mûr mais pas confit, gourmand et pur, finement terrien et épicé, entre griotte, cerise, framboise et une pointe de cassis. En bouche, il se montre équilibré, avec de la fraicheur, doté d'un beau milieu de bouche, des tanins civilisés. En un sens il est étonnamment accessible, bien fait, séduisant (me rappelle la facilité d'un Esmonin 2009 sur un village aussi)
