A good nose of classic Chassagne herbs over a ripe core of fruit. Also quite rich but this easily has more finesse than the bourgogne and a mid-palate density of flavour that grows and grows – lovely.

Medium, medium-plus cherry red colour, shading to purple. The nose still has sweet medium-toast oak in the ascendant but below is blue skinned fruit – takes about 30 minutes for the oak to fade. The palate is a blast, ripe high toned fruit, really super acidity and plenty of furry tannin. The finish is still slightly bitter – but this wine is fun, fun, fun – with a serious side. Less full with food, but very good.
