Still cherry colour, tending to ruby at the rim. Nose is ‘full-on’ red and black cherry with top notes of raspberry. The palate is very dry, good concentrated cherry fruit and excellent acidity for the vintage. Tannin is still there if you look. Still young, but ‘forgiving’ – wait another 5 years if you can for an excellent Beaune.
Medium-full ruby. A deeper toasted oak nose and dare I say it slightly shitty aromas. There is a little sweet spice, but the wood is in charge here. 5 hours later the wood is gone leaving pretty black cherry fruit. The palate has more depth with high, though more controlled acidity than the Pommard, and the fruit is more black cherry. Length is good. More intense than the Pommard today, but younger – leave for another 2 years.
Medium ruby colour, already turning brick at the rim. The nose is all high toast oak for the first 15 minutes, gradually turning sweet, completely fading after 4-5 hours to reveal cooking dark plum notes. The palate has high acidity and a little tannin. Fruit is of medium intensity, but the acidity, which just avoids coarseness makes for a burst on the finish. Medium length. Very good for the vintage and with a strong hard cheese like Comte, the acidity is perfectly balanced.
