I’m quite happy with the way this is progressing. Great producer and superb vintage is a good combo. I’m sorry to hear of some that have bottles that are in poor condition. Transit from Europe clearly matters with delicate wines. My case appears to be in good shape so far. Lots of complexity and a bit less fruit forward than many from this vintage. I’m a fan.

Upon opening, the nose had the over the hill quality. After a decant and 45 min breath, this really opened up. It's rich, almost full bodied, and still has a nice background tannin structure. I would say this is just past peak, but still outstanding.
EDIT....This is definitely on it's last legs. I just opened a 2015 Lumpp Givey premier cru and it blows it away. None of that mushroom nose. Drink up on the Joblot.

La première gorgée rappelle le 2014 bu dans la dernière année, davantage tertiaire (mais pas oxydée). Par contre le caractère du millésime se révèle rapidement, le vin reprenant de l’ampleur avec le fruit à l’avant-plan et des tannins modérés. Moins d’acidité qu’il ne devait avoir en jeunesse, mais on est loin du Bourgogne évolué sur les arômes de sous-bois. Très bon mais je vais patienter un peu pour la prochaine.

C’est encore massif, avec une certaine fraîcheur, mais pas mal d’amertume en finale. Trop extrait? C'est boisé, il a l'air fatigué, vraiment pas agréable en l’état. À revoir dans 4-5 ans?

{Bought on release, #2 of 12, sound cork} served from cellar, too cold, nonetheless initially delicious, crisp red>>black cherry fruits, medium+ body, good finish. With time ... More of the same. Delicious. Wonderful breadth of palate,. Givry body & depth. When this wine is mature predict delicious, full wine that is an exemplar for newbies.
