Not quite as good as my last bottle in 2019. Lots of red cherry, strawberry and pomegranate fruit accented with deft touch of oak and just a hint of sous bois. A touch compact at opening but develops nicely wine air. Bright red fruit tones on the palate with brown spice, baked stones and a bit of dried earth. Quite fresh with good extract that plays nicely with the tannins. Finish of red fruit and Corton minerality. This bottle is missing a level of focus and depth that would really elevate the palate.
Drinking well now with potential for more developed. Certain to be enjoyable over the next 5 to 7 years.

Feb 2nd, 2022Very expressive nose of ripe red cherry and black raspberry fruit surrounded by hints of allspice and cream. Palate has lush, low yield extract quality with blue fruit. Tannins are dense but quite round. Finish has hint of mineral with the blue fruit notes. I would suggest 3 to 5 more years in the cellar.
