Over three hours this opened beautifully, gaining depth, flesh and amplitude while keeping terrific freshness. The nose became increasingly brambly and spicy, with damson, moss, forest underbrush and deep cherry fruit. The palate filled out into a velvety, juicy, richly fruited expression, with the classic 2023 chord progression from sour cherry through sweet and mid-season cherry, substantial ripe tannins and excellent acidity. Forward and generous for Fichots, but still unmistakably structured and site-driven, with a long, tangy finish and real depth. Delicious now with air, but clearly built to evolve. — a day ago

Spice, mineral, red fruits, early-season raspberry, and compote. Really aromatic and so pretty. Elegant, architectural, generous, with fine tannins and a long, wispy, dissipating finish. Elegant fruit and real length. — 3 months ago

Nice savigny but didn’t meet expectations for a premier cru. A bit one note and even thin at first. Much air didn’t help that much either. Certainly still a nice wine but just didn’t quite live up. — 6 months ago

Medium dark rubi robe, no fading, nose of crushed roses, asian spices and a hint of cedar wood. Very elegant and complex on the mouth, medium bodied, excellent length, an aerial and complex grand cru for the ages. No rush but drinking great now. — a month ago

Great nose, deeply fruited, mineral, haunting and aromatic. Riper than the 2024s, with inner-mouth aromas, deeper compote fruit, energy, freshness, great tannins, and excellent acidity. Big structure and tiny berry fruit intensity. — 3 months ago

Nose is lemon, some discreet wood. vanilla extract, lanolin and an intense stony minerality. Sweet lime as well and just stunning aromatic depth and vividness. 9.4 nose. Great cut and almost zero wood on palate and what is there is lovely and complementary to the awesome acidity and freshness. Really long. Such a mineral bomb. Long. Wow this really drinks well for $32? A great wine. — 3 years ago

This was a surprise. The body was lighter than I expected, the nose practically busting with forest floor and dusty ripe red fruits, dusty tannins, but for this meal it paired perfectly. Drank at Arnaud’s in New Orleans. #pinotforpresident — 4 years ago

For about an hour this is meh. Oak is lessened but still dominant.

After an hour … jeebus.

Nose: expensive. Brioche. Some oxidation.

Palate: elegant apricots. Lovely.

Ripe, generous, slightly roasted, from next to Rugiens. Compote, black fruit, intensity, darkness, complexity and precision. Dense and ripe but still elegant, with late-breaking tannins. A bit sur maturité, but very impressive. — 3 months ago

Wet wool, green apple and minerals. Smells rich. Palate is ripe, rich and racy. Green apple skins and awesome minerality and richness. Like a chardonnay drop in your mouth. So good. Pure and vibrant and also some fat. Great showing. — 3 years ago
