My first encounter with Bruno Clavelier and it was an interesting one. Bouquet is in the mature stage but too powerful and intense. The fruity palate is tight and concentrated. NSG terroir nor any bio-dynamic elegance or purity can be found at this stage. This bottle should not be touched for at least 5 more years. 90 at this moment with clear upside potential.

Darker and more brooding than the 08 combe d'orveaux recently. Spicy and irony and reserved with a very tight finish. Should be awesome in time but for now I prefer the prettier, more aromatically enthralling, if perhaps less concentrated Combe d'orveaux.

Nuits with Luis Gutierrez (Enoteca Barolo - Madrid): Profound dark colour. Fresh minty nose with violets, artificial glue, ... disliked it. Few Burgundian character here. Crude mouthfeel. Quite acidic. An infanticide? Could be. Some pastry shop when finishing.
Color oscuro profundo. Nariz fresca amentolada con violetas, pegamento artificial... no me gustó. Muy poco del carácter borgoñón aquí. Sensación en boca cruda. Bien ácido. ¿Un infanticidio? Podría ser. Algo de pastelería al finalizar.
