Very nice bottle. Not flashy, just relaxed sweet Gevrey pinot. Some length. Nicely done, and evolved surprisingly well from the last bottle 4 years ago, which was fishy and horrid. Ready to drink and probably best not to hang on too long.

Super restrained upon opening. Took nearly 6 hours in open bottle to start showing itself. intoxicating cherry, red currant, blue berry, minerality, structure is still very firm. Needs time and hope it evolves.

Very different notes from the last taster - bottle variation? Lots of mushroom and almost truffle-like savoury nose with underlying sour cherry and blue pinot fruits. Elegant mouthfeel with quite a bit of acidity - not sweet. Some minerality and clear tannins form a finely structured backbone. Goes well with food. Cuts right through fatty meat. Liked this particularly with stir-fried mushrooms and beef.

Underwhelming. Not unpleasant, but lacking structure, intensity.
