Real Sleeper - figured this was going to be tired & over the hill, but it was glorious! Needed 90 minutes to really open up but then it unfurled with pure black & blue fruits interspersed w/tar, leather, minerals, florals, meat & spice all wrapped in finely grained tannins wrapped in velvet. This was a product of the insanely hot 03 vintage, but this is an absolute complete wine - a gem. — 3 years ago

Red berries, a touch of cinnamon and spices. Fresh, elegant, lots of energy, nice soft tannins, well balanced, the most approchable and less powerful of all the premier crus from JM Vincent, very good, drank in a flash. 89-90
Fruits, rouges, touche de canelle. Frais, fin, énergique avec des tannins présents mais tellement approchables en ce moment, bien équilibré et le moins puissant des premiers crus de ce domaine, très bon, ça se boit tout seul. 89-90

Un Auxey-Duresses Les Hautées 2016 de JM Vincent que j’ai trouvé bien, avec des arômes de miel et de fruits jaunes, une certaine richesse et largeur qui domine l’acidité un peu trop. Me semblait meilleur en jeunesse. 88-89
A nice bottle, some yellow orchard fruit and honey, the palate is dominated by the richness and roundness vs a backward acidity, not bad but was better in it’s youth if my memory serves me right.

Gamay forever!! SIGHT: burgundy red; light, clear. SMELL: slight farm floor, overripe plum flesh, nostalgia. TASTE: strawberry candy, slight tartness, pleasant tannins, light bodied — 4 years ago
