What a pleasant surprise, this wine was in a lovely place. Resolved, bright fruited, impressively fresh but showing the benefits of maturity, no little Gevrey character and a lovely balance this slipped down a treat. Accurately described as a 'session Burgundy'!

A very nice bottle again. Perhaps even better than the previous one I had over a year ago. Completely mature, but with a good energy and liveliness. Not the most complex or texturally exquisite wine I've ever had, but a really nice 1er Cru drinking at its apex.

A Burgundy night at Helsinki (Classic Wine Cellars, Helsinki, Finland): This was a very nice bottle of mature Burgundy. Nice fruit and some minerally terroir inflections, and with a very good balance. Perhaps it just suffered from the comparison to the other wines it was drank with, but it felt as not very special in the end. Objectively, this was an outstanding wine with everything in place. Just not exciting enough.

Densely silky. Dark red fruit. Vibrant and fresh. Just starting to show some maturity. ***1/2
