Drinking the ‘14 and it’s still too young and tight. But you know this is going to be amazing. Stemmy in mouf and barnyard (in a good way). Lay it down and expect great things.

Red cherry, cranberry, raspberry, black tea, mushrooms, mint, suboise, forest floor. Evolved and opened up great throughout the dinner.

Pretty on the nose. Raspberry,violets, brambly fruit. Quite lucid, clear and poised. Less ripe and plush than I expected for the vintage. A decent, slightly tart, finish

Sweet red fruit. A little abrupt and candied. Some cherry drop on the nose and quite reduced still. A bit young really

Out of 375 a little flabby very ripe rustic after a couple days open filled in a little but does not show grand cru quality to me. I have had better village wines . Maybe I had a bad bottle? I hope so!
