This hasn’t moved an inch since I tasted this in June last year. Macerated strawberry, red cherry, subtle rhubarb and some stemmy spice sit above ferrous, iodine minerality. There’s lovely precision and lift to the aromatic profile. The palate is buoyant and bright with red cherry, fresh raspberry, and strawberry gliding through the mouth, supported by subtle bramble, brown spice and ferrous mineral cut. A good vein of svelte, sappy tannins provide frame and carry. It’s very vibrant, elegant and lifted overall, while still maintaining complexity and power. Drink from 2025-2033. Tasted Feb 2025
94 points, Tom Kline - Inside Burgundy
"This is excellent. Fine, tight, intricate, wild and precise at once. Not exactly sure how they do that but here it is, they have. Cherries, meat, soy, strawberries, twiggy spice, some volatility, a fine web of tannin, some beet characters, some undergrowth. So much going on within an overall impression of control. Mightily impressed." 95 pts - Campbell Mattinson, thewinefront.com.
This has the classic autumnal character; sweet wood smoke, damp earth, dry leaves and twigs. The complexity is great, the texture is supple and the frame is medium weight. It may not be a 30 year wine, but it will age and be delicious from right now till at least 15 years time.
