Tasting notes
Tight and minerally on the nose, inviting in restraint. Subtle and coiled on the palate too. Impressive for its balance and freshness rather than for its intensity. (JH)

Here too there is strong reduction and again I would definitely advise decanting this in advance. There is excellent concentration and an abundance of dry extract present on the citrus-tinged medium-bodied flavors where the extract imparts a wonderfully seductive character to the delicious and suave finish that somewhat curiously displays moderate austerity. Even so I would not expect it to persist for more than a year or so as the ripeness level is sufficiently high for it to dissipate quickly. Note that this also delivers fine quality and is definitely worth considering. Tasted: Jun 15, 2014. Drink: 2018+
The 2012 Saint Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly is reserved on the nose, but opens nicely with some lovely blackberry leaf and even licorice scents. The palate is very fresh on the entry with orange zest, a touch of bitter lemon and a pleasant grassy note entering on the finish that as a slight Chablis-like reserve. It was excellent from barrel and the same in bottle. eRobertParker.com.August, 2015
