Parfait avec un bar en croûte de sel — 2 months ago
Lovely perfume of crushed black cherry, spiced plum, raspberry confiture, and woodsy aromas. Made more complex by background elements of cured meat, turned earth, smoke, dried orange, rhubarb, beets. Not a power house packed with richness this vintage. Acidity is bright and the perception of chaptalization is in balance. Rustic tannins with a felt-like texture bring posture and lovely tactile components. A touch drying now, but beautiful at the table with roast duck and lentils. — 3 months ago
Everything I hope for in red burgundy. This had shocking ullage (almost to the base of the shoulder, scary on a burg) but opened beautifully. Soaring nose still has very pure fruit; fabulous dazzling length. No idea to describe the palate, just awfully good. Must be at peak but showed no signs of fading. — 2 months ago

Fantastic, but youthful even with a 4H decant. Perfumed cherry notes with trailing dried cranberries, crushed red raspberry, tannins say open 2030+. — 2 months ago

From Magnum. Also gorgeous. A bit more linear than the 2012 Henri Boillot Meursault 1er Genevrieres. — 9 days ago
