  This one took 3+ hours in the decanter to harmonise. In the first hour, the heavy toast oak characters overwhelmed everything. Now, aromas of sous bois, heavy toast oak, but on the palate the dark fruit characters have now emerged and melded with the oak treatment. Still fairly sturdy structurewise, with some grippy tannins remaining, moderate acidity. Unsure which direction this will go. For a vineyard that is adjacent to the great Musigny, this wine did not reflect the characteristics of its exalted neighbour.

  This is ready. Why didn’t I buy more burgs when they were affordable?

  Definitely rounding the corner now, although it still has a bite to the finish. Not as full-bodied as I expected, quite light in the middle section. Mostly red berries, edging towards redcurrants rather than red cherries, a very decent bottle but no star, not for me at least. I could have done with a bit more velvet and a bit less acidity.

  Drank from coravin again and notes are consistent. Nose shows red fruit and earth, as well as clove. a bit too far on the light side with a round mouth feel, spicier than I recall. Some bitterness on the back end, along with spice on the finish.

  Drank from coravin. Nose shows some clove, some berries. Fuller bodied than expected. The wine's seems a bit closed, with some red fruit on the palate, with earth, some foresty elements & still some tannins. A bit bitter on the finish. I need to taste this wine again to get a better read.
