Cabernet rules! So young but so great! Spiciness and richness with elegance.

Dining all by myself in Beaune with this to keep me company. Maybe not as memorable as the 2010 Poyeux, but this is fine stuff for such a warm vintage. Am sure the conversation will develop through the evening....delightful stuff.

So incredibly elegant and deft on the palate with interesting herbal flavors. There is a rich core to this wine and a lengthy finish. Truly a special bottle!
