Possibly higher score but time required to evaluate whether this will indeed devolve into more complex sinews. A refined hand to be sure but for now this enjoyable wine is pleasant with higher-toned res fruit and fine prominent acids but also not showing the depth it will undoubtedly have. The wonderful evolution of spätburgunder over the past 10 yrs makes aging predictions quite tough as climate change altered the fruit profile. Worth holding for another year or two
Four days later after initial 2/3 Coravind bottle: richee strawberry notes and lower acid. Augurs well for a little bit more aging. Some complexity and more promise!

Académie des Cinquante Burgundy - Germany Tasting (Overveen): Tasted blind. Pure and floral, fragrant, Alpine herbs, delicately creamy, hint of spice on the finish, firm but fine tannins, noticeable oak on the finish. In a relatively impenetrable phase, not nearly as convincing now as last year, revisit in 2025. Score based on potential.

One of the highlights of the Pinot Noix Ardoise vertical for me. Quite open and intense with lots of red and darker fruit, between the '17 and '18 in terms of structure.

Janselijn Wines Portfolio Tasting (Restaurant De Scheepskameel, Amsterdam, NL): Walkaround tasting, brief note. Not as wild as the last time, stylish and energetic, intense and linear, excellent length.

Blind. Thought good ripeness and no notable climate coolness, decently juicy, lightly meaty. 91
