  Nose is a bit shut down right now. The taste is a deep wave of black and red fruit followed by a tingly stem infused rising and a long finish carried by ripe fine tannins. Though young, this is in great balance and has impressive quality & depth of fruit. Gonna be tough to resist the other bottles I bought but I bet this will be incredible in 2030.

  A mini vertical (2017-2021) of this sublime Combe d'Orveaux which is often superior (and always less expensive) than more prestigious names).

  Gorgeous! We confused it with a Musigny in blind tasting

  Nose of chalk, dark red fruit, whole cluster/stemmy, and plums. Pronounced palate of juicy ripe dark fruit, savory umami of soy/mushrooms, plums, dark cherries, bay leaf, slight saline note. Med/+ tannins, but showing plush/resolved, med/+ acid. Very silky and voluptuous, showing tons of ripe but balanced fruit, smooth and just a gorgeous wine. Still really young (mostly primary fruit), but hard to resist drinking when its showing so well. Probably will need another 5 years before tertiary notes begin showing. 95-96

  On Coravin: first night, angular and all elbows.
  
  Day 2: Rich dark ripe berry and plum fruit.Nice med. tannic grip, some gunflint reduction there. Low-med acid. 13% Alc on label (how, in 2018?).
  
  What a difference a day makes. Really like this. 93-94 for me now, but 95+ potential with time.
