A changé beaucoup depuis la dernière fois: il est maintenant à un stade très intéressant. Il y a encore un peu de cassis mais des notes tertiaires de sous-bois et de champignons sont apparues. Équilibré et complexe, avec des notes umami. Très beau.

This seemed in a tight and closed phase to me; I haven't had any other '14s that were shut down, but the nose was tight, the palate was tight, and the tannins and acidity didn't want to loosen up even though it was served with lamb chops. Seemed to have good potential but needs a few years to unwind.

Trop jeune. Thème de la soirée je suppose. Grande complexité pour ce vin qui est encore primaire, relativement costaud, très bon mais qui gagnerait à être oublié en cave quelques années…

This was consumed over three days, and showed its best on day 3. Lovely raspberry-scented nose with some floral and mineral accents. Pomegranate, cranberry and sour cherry flavors, bright acidity, lovely freshness and a medium-long tart finish. Needs time, but quite excellent with lots of air.

Belle finesse de tanins, c'est frais et d'un équilibre classique, superbe. Un vin complet, rien de flamboyant, un classicisme d'école, frais et doux, excellent! 92+ pts

Souper Louis Boillot au Toqué (Au Toqué!): Des vignes de 48 ans, exposées nord est, donc à maturation tardive, toujours récoltée en dernier.
