  Cherry cola, lavender, new leather, and sandalwood notes. Light bodied with medium/plus acidity and some tannin on the back end. Good complexity if not displaying an abundance of intensity. Drink to 2020?

  Good bottle: plenty of fruit, and tannins softened. Nice wine from a super vintage. Life in it yet (previous bottle last month much less impressive - the old bottle variation thing...)

  Light red. Good balance. Short finish. Overall very pretty and a good example of an understated and transparent wine. Wont knock your socks off but really enjoyable.

  Definitely a classic! At first the it appeared very reserved, a bit dairy’ish, maybe a bit barn’y and tart. Later it was characterized by nice dark berries, lean black cherries, a rather relaxed and outward classical style, very well balanced acid and a vital semi concentrated body. Easy going complexity with contenting finish. Could use one or two more years to evolve to a possible peak performance. Not a high-flyer, but still a decent Bourgogne from an extraordinary beautiful vintage.
