Tasting notes
Bright red, and fairly pale. Heady, concentrated, quite beefy but with food this could certainly please. Still a bit grainy on the end. (JR)

Quite deep crimson. Very correct nose. Good stuff and really quite sturdy. Absolutely right for the appellation. With more polish than most vintages thanks to the ripeness. (JR)
Bright, moderately saturated red. Very ripe but lively aromas of black cherry, licorice and wild herbs. Boasts surprising texture and depth for its appellation, as well as very good energy and inner-mouth lift. In contrast to my experience in many other cellars, this fresh '15 did not come across as obviously higher in alcohol following the '16s. Dusts the palate and spreads out nicely on the back end. This wine really has clearly benefited from the added concentration of the vintage.
Less well-defined fruit than their Bourgogne rouge, though plenty of spice and firmness on the palate to suggest greater things are to come. Nevertheless, there's a slight underripe element that is detracting from the overall balance. (RH) (JR)
