Quintessential Beaune. Quite young, but already showing some soft edges. Cherry notes combine with cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg. This is not for the long haul, but is presenting well right now. Finishes dry, so in my mind, this requires food - Nougatine at Jean Georges.

Blackberry, wood smoke and mulberry. Ripe, well-integrated tannins. Soft and tangy acid and creamy texture. Nice effort from David des Croix. 2nd vintage, if not mistaken.
