Succulent red fruits, layered with spice and floral notes, firm mineral notes throughout. Lots purity across the board, love that. Theres an approachability and balance of tannin that suggests plenty of life ahead with great pleasure in the glass right now. Soaked cherry, licorice, cinnamon, clove, hung meat, finely crushed rock, sous bois.

Herbal and earthy. Starting to show secondary notes. Good length and complexity.

A hardy confluence of fruit, oak, and tannin create great structure. Let this breathe. 80 year old vines on south facing gravel and limestone slopes supply undeniable minerality. Though the corks have been a constant source of concern I have yet to find a bottle with flaws, beautiful Burgundy.
