Quite ferral and funky. Seemed to blow off but left a rather earthy pinot with mature fruit that seemed to dry out a bit on the finish. Maybe a little past peak. Still has some tannin as backbone.

Garnet red in color. A bit more developed than I expected for its age. Great sense of place both on the nose and palate. This wine transports you to the center of the Place Carnot. Carnal and mineral notes on the nose. The palate is more savory than sweet. The fruit has transformed. Lean but full with a bit of grip. Finish is short but enjoyable.

Nice, medium-red color with transparency. On the palate, a little more dense than the Volnay, with rounder red fruits. Has a little bit of spice, but the fruit is lacking a bit in generosity. Feels middle-of-the-road. 85-86
