Power. Depth. Dark cherry. The vintage tales over with exuberance. Give this plenty of time.

So young but wide open and generous already. Pure, sweet never ending fruit but the texture was the most intriguing. Round, silky, voluminous and jello-like.

Powerful nose of dark fruits . Surprisingly it was not the palate that I was expecting given the vintage. While certainly not a shrinking violet the palate was concentrated but not ponderous . Flavors of black cherry, plums, spice and some oak notes. I was very pleased no alcohol heat. Definitely structure there but something tells me this will not be a long distance runner.

Why isn't this as good as it should be? :-/ restrained. Decanted for hours and tasted throughout the night. Better right out the bottle.

In a weird spot for me. Oak on the nose with an almost buttery quality

Robe rubis foncée brillante
Nez assez réservé avec une fruit rouge assez mat et qq notes d épices et de bois mais immédiatement classe et de grand cru de pinot noir .... mais ou?
Bouche dense mais fraîche et cristalline avec un développement en longueur tirant loin quelle énergie
Incroyable pour l année et le vigneron je trouve
Un 95/100 ce soir mais il est très loin d avoir tout donner10 ou 15 le sublimeront
Merci Stef👍👍👍👍
