Oak predominated on the nose, hard to get much else through, but some red fruit and floral notes after sitting a while. Perhaps should have decanted? Oak in the mouth as well, but otherwise very well balanced in terms of tannin and acidity. Rebuy: no.

Same very pretty red fruit with slight perfume, this bottle slight gaminess and a bit more robust than the last, still a very pleasant everyday drinker that is ready now.

Pretty much the same as the last bottle, very fragrant nose, but not as focused as the 1er crus. Not as persistent as the last bottle, started to drop a bit after 3hrs.

V good for a village, light red color, nose opened up tremendously after 1.5 hours and the wines stayed in form for at least 4hours, light to medium palate, open nose with red flower, strawberry + grapefruit, medium finish with minerals, v nice for its level.

Not too bad of a bottle now, but definitely still young. The tannins and oak are certainly present, and could use some time to mellow out.
Ripe cherry, cranberry, black tea with cream, peppery spice, hints of sous bois and funk.
Lots of backbone though; seems like this could spend a couple decades in the cellar and improve.
