An earthy nose with violet, dark plum, blackberry, hints of sage, Iodene, leather. Hot at first but with air has softened and integrated. Good stuff

A deep and dark NSG, with a density and tannic backbone that might suggest Nebbiolo blind. A touch drying but a classic example of old school Burgundy. Dark cherry and berry character, almost pushing currant, black truffle, pine forest, turned earth, wet leaves, cinnamon, mint, shiitakes. Imposing structure suggests further aging required, but the dark and brooding evolving fruit matches up nicely at this point.

Tawny Rim. Gamey aromas Dried Cherry and Savoury with mature compost notes. Somewhat austere, stern, masculine and ungiving even at 13 years. From what I’ve read the Wine needs at least 10 years but on this showing maybe a little longer. Assertive tannins with a bitter edge at the finish. Still enjoyable.

Energetic, dense, light, powerful. The epitome of what burgundy can do
