95 Points Wine Spectator Fluid and silky in texture
made from the same old vines that produce "Cuvée Tardive" but vinified and aged exclusively in Burgundian barrels
they also bottle six exquisite Pinot Noirs
but the wine is now at its apogee and offers up a classy and compelling bouquet of dark berries
and certainly ranks one of the great wines this small micro-estate has ever produced

Again in my notes I wrote HAUNTING!!! Just wow. 6 20 2024 96 Points CellarTracker Member The alcohol is not really noticeable and well integrated. Nice extract sweetness without any stewed fruits. Close to his peak. 1 19 2024
