Sep 16th, 2023Dark scarlet, almost opaque. Brooding tight nose, despite a few hours in the decanter. Eventually opens up to reveal bright fruit, some dark soil, some herbs and a little wood. Nice in the mouth, coats the palate. Good, not great.. and overall a nice bottle to go with the sea bass special at the restaurant down the street.

Jul 11th, 2021Love the 93 vintage for red Burgundy. But who doesn’t!? This one was bit of a rollercoaster. Initially acidity seemed elevated, tannins were drying and the wine seemed a bit disjointed. But with time it settled in very nicely showing itself to be a very good aged Burgundy. Smokey, meaty and savory with an underlying elegance and delicate texture. Macerated black and red cherries, sous bois, roasted herbs, dried violets and rose pedals. There is still good verve, youthfulness and intensity here, with still some years ahead, but the finish is a bit short.
