Lives up to its name, just a charming bottle of wine at the moment. Welcoming, sweet nose, with raspberries, maybe a little rhubarb, and even a hint of black truffle. It shows true in the mouth, coating the palate, velvety, considerable finish where the truffle, acid, and slight black pepper note all play a role. Does not have the depth of material of some GC’s but a very nice drink, in its prime, which could surely be hold for 5-10 more years.

A little fade at the rim but pretty youthful looking; much more development on the nose though. Spice, a little VA but nothing to worry about - gives lift. Good fruit unfurling; silky texture, lovely weight - lovely pure fruit on aeration. Gets better and better as it opens up.

Lovely silky sweet palate, medium concentration and seamless long finish. This is why we cellar Burgundy.
