6 Oct 2010: A very simple supper at home and we were curious about this bottle that had lost its label and the cork was feeling rather loose. So we opened the bottle, tasted it and were so intrigued that we rinsed the cork to see what lay underneath! We were totally flabbergasted to discover that we actually pulled the cork of a grand vin!!
What a gem! An intoxicating bouquet of wild rose, violet, chocolate, mocha, cinnamon, tobacco, compounded with the complexity of earthy farmyard vegetal notes. The wine started on the palate with a deliciously sweet entry, almost caramel-like, tasting still so fresh and with a subtle concentration of red fruit, floral and mineral flavours and a silk-like texture that caresses the taste buds. Classic elegant first class Burgundy by a top winemaker for a year that was not without its share of problems. 19/20
