Once again there is excellent volume and mid-palate density to the attractively textured big-bodied flavors that terminate in a mocha and bitter pit fruit-inflected finish that is noticeably warm. There is much to like here but the balance isn't quite as well dialed in as the best in the range. |

Decanter (94)From a parcel located in Charmes, down-slope from Chambertin, this is slightly backwards at present, with a bit of reduction, but behind these aromas there is plenty of sumptuous, bright red berry fruit. The texture is firm and fresh, with the grip and intensity to age well. Although it does not have the intensity or persistence of the Chambertin, it resembles it in its vibrant elegance and balance. |

Burghound (94)There is an appealing spiciness to the fresh and bright aromas of mostly red currant and warm earth. The delicious, detailed and nicely vibrant middleweight flavors possess excellent depth and persistence on the equally built-to-age finish where a touch of austerity slowly emerges as it sits on the palate. This is presently quite tightly wound though I suspect that it will be reasonably approachable after 7 to 8 if you don't wish to wait for full maturity. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-94)Pink red purple, the fruit is lively but not too powerful, but the structure is surprisingly austere. While there is plenty of fruit, the structure is currently angular and the wine will need to fill out. In the balance. |

Jancis Robinson (17++)Silky tannins, stewed cherry and bramble. Firm tannins and full body but not the hugest amount of complexity right now. The intensity of fruit will reveal more with age. |
