Mid Ruby with tawny rim. After decanting noticeable oak on nose with astringency and acid on palate - not a good start. Time improved things to reveal a fragrant aromatic nose of red fruits with a touch of savoury compost heap. Certainly the nose of a Grand Cru from a good vintage. Has a solid core of fruit and fine but noticeable tannins which will carry this thru into the 2020s. Next one in 5 years.

Funny how Mr Parker and I have such a difference in taste :-) he would score a table wine with 92 points and will award this lovely elegant and complex Burgundy with 88 points go figure. The wine is extremely elegant and concentrated, the nose is complex and multi laired with red berries, black current, cassis, mineral and leather all coming together into a full bodies elegant and supple wine , complex and rich , with a long delicious finish. My score 92, drink to 2025 perhaps longer .

Still bright ruby in the glass. The nose mixes tight fruit with the soil it came from. In the mouth this has a strong impact, with some lingering tannin and lots of acidity competing with the fruit. Finish lasts a while. Could use some more age.
