Tasted blind. Nice raspberry and strawberry profile with an earthy and smoky tone. Nice bouquet and gentleness on the mid-palate, well-layered and fine acidity but feels a touch old school in style, not rustic but certainly has a fleshy mouthfeel. I thought it was 2014 Gevrey. Could probably do with a few more years of cellaring. Drink from 2024. (91/100)

This showed very good, high complexity, high precision, very good balance. Despite its youth, this is already drinking well with some air. 95 pts today, with more upside.
TN: Intense, layered nose with a ripe dark red fruit core, herbs, smoke, toasty notes. On the palate this is very fine, getting softer and more expressive by the minute, fine, bright, ripe red fruit, some fine floral notes, finley laced minerality and earthy notes. Round and balanced, nice and creamy (with time) with a good cut. Complete from start into the long lingering finish.
Decanting: This was sitting in the glass for at least 30-45 minutes. This got better by the minute and would have needed a longer decant (2h?).

(SYP) Finally get to a good bottle. Dark cherry, spices. Mellow, waves of dark cherry on the palate with racy acidity. Finishes with a touch of warmth. 92+
