From our cellar, decanted 4H but wanted +6H. — 3 months ago
Elegant silky wine with a lengthy finish for such a young grand crú. Skeptical of the recommendation initially, this somm has never let me down with a youthful Burgundy. — 2 months ago
A little closed at the moment but the aromas are strong with musk, unripe raspberries, underbrush, pepper, cherries and a hint of Asian spice. The texture and body demand time with tannin that still feels a little unruly. Great stuff, needs time. — 5 days ago
