  • Needs at least a couple of hours of decanting to open up the wine. Medium-bodied with nice depth. The berry flavors are quite prominent right now.

  • Tasted over two days, alongside the same vintage Pontet-Canet.

    Purity of fruit, backed by expressive representation of place, define this seductive offering. It has softened considerably since release, and although it has retained its extraordinary suavity, it has shed its Burgundian characteristics. Distinctive fruitiness creates a strong impression of modernity. Yet the sense of place, balanced oak treatment, and imperceptible alcohol, mark this as Old School.

    Easy drinking now, particularly after decanting for two hours. If the softening continues apace, this might reach full maturity by 2035. This noted, at least equal chances that it will hold through 2045. 95-96.

  • The nose opened up with several hours in the decanter. Getting some red fruit here, with raspberries, of course dark fruit as well, black currant and blackberry. Floral aromas and the oak while integrated is very expressive. A well balanced palate, medium plus acidity, dark berries, vanilla, medium plus tannins. Already enjoyable, but will certainly gain points with further aging. 93-94

  • This struck me as extraordinarily complete, alive and vibrant. This producer so often needs more time to show, but this was already showing great. Very pretty and enticing. Tasted alongside a half bottle of the '19, which was certainly closed at first but also opened up.
