Drank from coravin. Red berries on the nose, some bricking at glass edges. Tart acidity, slightly tannic, and some red fruit. Long, but fairly tart finish. It's been a long time since I last tasted this wine, but it's still holding up.

À l’ouverture, si je ne le connaissais pas, j’aurais pensé que le vin est fini... peu de couleur, nez absent, bouche mince, vieillot. Je me doute bien qu’il a besoin d’air.
Nez discret mais intrigant, cerises et sous-bois. La bouche paraît mince au début et, sans surprise, elle prendra de l’ampleur avec l’aération. La bouche montre un style austère, que j’associe à ce cru de Beaune. Séveux, terreux, tout le contraire du pinot croquant et charmeur mais il ne manque pas d’intérêt pour autant.
Deux heures plus tard, il est plus frais et paraît vraiment jeune! Droit, minéral, précis, d’une belle profondeur, avec des tanins jeunes, une métamorphose qui serait très renversante si je ne m’y attendais pas un peu :). Lovely! 90 pts

Another 375 ml bottle. Black and red cherry maturing slowly, still with lots of power and some assertive tannins that are also softening slowly and growing into concentration, This is just now getting to a fun place, and it's in a 375. I continue to really like this wine, am certain it has upside from here.

Black and red cherry core, with a hint of herbs and smokiness. Just starting to soften tannins, early in the drinking window.

Reaching early maturity - well worth drinking now.
