Always a stunner. This is no exception. Nose of flint/iodine/ripe apple and pear and a hint of high end butter. Palate is exceptional, ripe and deep with stunning purity and balance. So deep. Amazing freshness and easily one of the best 15’s I’ve tasted. Superb minerality, sap and grip. Long and so so delineated. Great energy.

A bit flinty and funky out of the gates. Some hazelnuts, but also a rich flinty character, that goes away with 5 minutes of air. Palate is so so elegant and scary refined. Wow. Such finesse and depth. Really remarkable. What a palate. So much mineral depth and freshness. Terrific juiciness and structure. Tangy, citrus in the finish. Has years to go. Great energy and density yet so finessed.

Sick wine. Elegant. Hazelnut, iodine, mineral, palate is complex and ripe with terrific texture and ripeness. Balanced and pure. So long. Excellent.

Outstanding sensible oak, almond and apricot citrus fruit, drinkable with immaculate pure structure. SO HAPPY.

A gorgeous and understated Puligny. Rather than being on the fruity, peachy side, this is a slender, more minerally take. Honeyed, lemon-oil soaked wet Burgundian earth on the nose, linear and crisp as all get-out in the mouth, with great mineral purity. Very distinctive.
