Nose is great, vibrant, slightly bubbly but not synthetic red fruit. Acid is just not there though, falls flat on the palate — 3 years ago

Dark salmon pink, red tinged, excellent clarity. Sulfite, floral and cherry notes in nose. Red fruit and lemon flavors, later tangerine skin emerges; mineral (and later, black pepper) finish, sweet cherry skin and tangerine peel aftertaste. Almost dry, not bad at all — 4 years ago

Low expectations are everyone’s friendly and it is here too. I don’t recall how I came to own this wine, I expected something simple and flat. It is not. It has spine, it is much richer than I expected- more reminiscent, to me at least, of a Bordeaux like prieure lichine. I am quite surprised, in a good way. Have at it — 3 years ago

9.5

Smoking nose of bright tangy mid to late season red cherries. Ethereal, confectionary and gorgeous. Really bright and lifted. Expansive and deeply aromatic. Layered and full of nuance. Really terrific nose. 9.6. Just stunning. Palate is sweet, silky, gamey and just flat out gorgeous with a very expressive hit of delicate and elegant minerality. This is mindblowing. Did not expect this to be that great. Beautiful light and translucent color as well. Such fine tannins. Hit of licorice develops on the nose. Really wonderful sweetness but also terrific depth and such finesse. Usually Beaune is more bigger and brawny but this one. Blind I’d say Volnay. Very impressive. — 3 years ago
