Beautiful nose initially musky but that blew off revealing violet berries and some tea. Palate was not as alluring slightly lacking finish and structure.

A wonderful nose of violets and sweet fruit. Even a touch herbal. The nose was exciting the palate was a bit too soft and lacking structure. Some dark cherry fruit. Not sure this has the structure to improve.

Still in it's infancy, pure and deep nose with clean, ripe fruit dominating. Complex with oak scents delicately intertwined. Palate reveals it's pedigree, tannins are abundant but ultra refined, distinct sweet aspect too. Balance is great altogether.Complexity also show in the palate. A real treat, kept changing in the glass too. Much better that a Corbeaux from the same year that Ihad a couple of years ago.

Not a hair out of place and certainly none of the awkwardness I've seen in many other 98s. So smooth, elegant and even ravishing on the palate. Lovely mix of red and black fruits. Could drink this all day.

(Bachelet Charmes-Chambertin) Ripe concentrated fruit, great purity and richness, and an explosive finish. Very fruity and not as minerally as expected. Still very nice and long.

Masataka. Good effort for the vintage, precise and fresh.
