Fully mature. Sour cherry, earth, moist humus-like smells, old leather. In the mouth it’s focused, on the leaner side, with really good acids, and lots of evolved flavors.

This was my third bottle I had over the last few years. Mineral nose and red fruits in the mouth, but I have not found the ‘11 to be as special as other drinkers do.

Intensity with an unmistakable burgundy nose. Still a baby, but very pleasant to drink

On its last breath with some interesting roasted berry notes. The structure is giving way. #gaunoux #closdesmouches

Fruit forward, softening structure, sweet fruits starting to show. Very drinkable.
