Once again, Nick slipped something in my mouth and I have to thank him on the interweb. When does it end? Never heard of these peeps but I highly recommend. I never spell recommend correctly. — 9 years ago
Had been scared off of the '11s after reading some comments on the interweb. Wtf? This is beautiful and graceful, with neither greenness nor tannin nor fruit nor Brett nor acid sticking out. — 10 years ago

Blinded, I honestly didn’t think much of it. It just didn’t have any defining character or complexity to stand out in the line up. Found this note off the interweb, which is relevant:
This is a relatively newly planted single vineyard that formerly was the land of the Monks of Vergy, and is situated along the path they took daily to reach the abbey of Saint-Vivant from Vosne-Romanée. It is at a higher elevation and looks down on the famous Grand Cru sites of Vosne Romanee; the soil here is clay limestone.
The wine is characterized by a dense purple color. The taste of wine is fresh, generous, with crisp acidity and a crisp nuances of oak wood. The finish is a little bluff. Aromatic bouquet of wine abounds with tones of ripe and juicy red fruit. — 3 months ago
