  Ex cellar purchase, wow this thing was alive and kicking, BEAUTIFUL red fruits and orange peel, very generous bouquet and not at all sliding into "old wine" territory. Light sous bois/earthy notes on the nose and palate but mostly red fruited, with some cedar, spice and bergamot, quite elegant and beautiful, nice acid propping up the whole affair, but tannins are nicely integrated, I'd say this is in a great place if you like your pinot nice and open but not too far down the track into wet-pile-of-leaves-and-whiskey-cherry territory!

  Very good wine that is fully mature and certainly will not improve further. The nose is redolent with dried fruits, sous bois, mushroom, black tea, and dried flowers. The palate is very lovely with good balance, almost no noticeable tannin, and seems fully developed. This is a very good mature Burgundy that should be enjoyed soon. This bottle was sourced directly from the domaines caves and drank without transport.

  Uninteresting and over the hill. Possible storage issues. Secondary notes and no fruit.

  Med dark, pale brick edge. A penetrating nose of funky pinot fruit, strawberry, chocolate and whiff of barnyard. Strong flavours of strawberry jam and herbs. Smooth, sweet and firm finish. A wonderful surprise.
