  Floral and flowery. Purple fruit driven palate. Impressive density and intensity for its level but well reflected in price.

  Less expressive than 16 Clos du Roy, leaner and more delineated. Getting better with air, great perfume, thinner palate, still great energy. 93

  Restaurant bottle. Explosive aromas from the get go. Pretty red fruits and just a touch of earth and wood notes on the palate. Great balance and energy. Pretty much everything I would want from a young burg.

  Slow-oxed for 6 hours prior to serving into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Flower” day): Bright pale ruby with purplish hues.
  
  Floral spices, violets, signature bulb-like fleshy flora notes. Pronounced sandalwood notes. Cherry cola like riper fruit notes that is again signature of this producer.
  
  Immediately obvious of the style. Very much at its youth and needs time to integrate. Quite a lot of tannins here. Promising but needs time in glass.
  
  94-95 points easy at this point.
  
  Second pour: more blueberry and black cherry fruits. Need to observe over longer term.
  
  Third pour: ultra smokey in a nice way, a lot of great leafy notes.
  
  Fourth pour: very much consistent with previously tasted. Smoky, violets, liquorice and leafy notes. Retain at 94-95 points.

  PNP into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Flower” day): Bright pale ruby with purplish hues.
  
  First pour: Upon swirling an utterly mesmerizing bouquet of many different florals like violets, freshly grounded spices. Then from time to time you detect the signature 2015 perfectly ripe fruits underneath, more red and blue berry fruits here. Very transparent, and changing by the minute, complex and deep.
  
  This is quite different from the very small pour tasted back a few years ago in tasting which inspires more of a monolithic profile and lots of (nice) new oak.
  
  Very saline minerality here that is almost thirst quenching. High acidity, really refreshing. Enjoyable with very fine finish of nicely acidic fruits, and spices.
  
  What a complete wine already right out of the box... 94-95 points.
  
  Second pour (30 minutes in): More savoury notes upfront, but quickly give way to the nice bouquet as previous pour.
  
  Third pour (1.5 hour in): More herbal and tea leaves notes emerged, again the perfectly ripe red and blue berry fruits come out to play, but now also with a little more chunky fruits like cherries. Surprisingly this remains very lightweight (in a good way) so far.
  
  Fourth pour (4 hours in, “Leaf” day): Bouquet getting more fruit driven in a nice way, richer and more luxurious now. Getting more stemmy and dusty, and smoky too. Youthfully austere on palate, with a peppery spicy finish. There are lots of materials to work with. It is now clear that this wine is still a baby in terms of maturity. Retain at 94-95 points.
