The 2013 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru has a slightly dusty bouquet at first, more black than red fruit, cooked meats, a touch of sous-bois and singed leather. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly rustic tannins. For a Grand Cru, I would have wanted more depth and grip, though that said, it is fresh with a pleasant dash of balsamic on the finish. Fine.

Still has a few years to go, but starting to build character; blood orange and cedar on the nose.

'02 vintage - At first, this exploded out of the glass, especially next to all of the '01s. But then it slowly closed up over the course of the night. Good to drink quickly, but hardly close to its peak.

2022/9/2 at Hiramatsu in Atami. The bouquet on this was stupendous - from the first taste, a kaleidoscope of spices, flowers and red fruit, with a forest floor background. The color was on the garnet side of ruby, and the palate started out rather high-toned with prominent acids, but not in a bad way - and it flashed out (as expected) with air. I suppose there’s even more to come here (at least on the nose), but what a wine it is now...
