Sheer pleasure. Deep ruby. Very ripe fruits, black berry, prune, black cherry. Slight touch of rot maybe but in a good way. Very voluptuous, even slutty., especially coming after a more severe Echezaux. Long. Still a bit of tannins but velvety ones and fine acidity. A joy!

A very light, delicate and elegant wine. Medium to high acidity has helped this aged gracefully and some lovely shaved wood appears on the nose. It's a complex wine that is very balanced, but really light. Not a heavyweight whatsoever (which I like). No reason to wait, drink now to 2025

Fine mid ruby, clear. Lovely old pinot nose. Plenty of undergrowth, dark cherry and plum fruits. Old leather. Wild Mushroom stew.Still with a tannic backbone. Excellent length. Holding up very well. No sign of rot.
